    No but in a close election WV's 5 electoral votes could be very important if Manchin won the state and no one got to 270. Then the house decides on a per state basis.

    Call me crazy but I doubt that he would have a one in 1 million chance of winning.

    Assuming he ran and actually won a couple of states, and no one won a majority of the electoral votes. It would then go to the House to vote by State to determine the next President. Manchin would have no shot.

    If I could have my pick of the three, it would most definitely be Manchin. But Trump winning would be like the end of Animal House.

    Sounds like Steve Bannon logic. Rooting for total anarchy and no regard for the laws of the land.

    Manchin can't win, but Cornel West will take the White House in a landslide.

    And your grandiose plan would be fine for a movie and a disaster for America.
