Joe Manchin Continues to Mull 3rd Party Run

They already made a movie about it. It's called Idiocracy.

 

Is that the same Ann Coulter who predicted a Republican "Red Wave" in the 2022?
Ann Coulter: Why a red wave is suddenly possible

 

Big Coal Manchin is against paid family leave, Medicare for all, minimum wage increase and combating prescription drug prices. He left the Democrat Party a long time ago

 

I don’t know. But you know your question is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the purpose of posting the video.

 

In retrospect I guess you were being facetious when you posted the video. When I saw it the first time I thought that you considered Ann Coulter's comment as a serious prediction.

 

It was a serious prediction….. from 2015. She was the only one who got it right

 

I thought it was much more recent. Ironically, Michael Moore also predicted (in 2016) that Trump would be elected.

 

Manchin is at 87.9% voting with Joe Biden.

Do people seriously believe that that 12.1% difference is compelling for an independent or pulling centrist Republicans and Democrats?

Manchin’s biggest value to Dems (and Pubs) is to pull back the ends of the uniparty horseshoe to the center.

Does Your Member Of Congress Vote With Or Against Biden?

 

Said many people in 2016.

 

Nope. I think a lot of folks think Biden is physically a liability and Trump is just not acceptable. Biden trips and falls at a debate. Trump gets in deeper legal trouble. Manchin catches lightning in a bottle.

 

Haha, right? Can you even imagine the drama? But hey, gotta admit, politics is like a never-ending rollercoaster. Buckle up, folks!

 

Be honest. In 2015 did you see Trump being elected Potus 16 months later?

 

It would be glorious to see Rs & Ds both lose

 

Looks like we have another new bot poster.

 

Bloomberg had a poll that already had him polling in the mid teens. If he took 10% from both sides he would be over a 1/3 threshold in a 3 horse race.

 

What’s his compelling platform? Running the country via EA / EO?!!

Seriously, do you think he can unify Congress to do anything on a compromised basis?

 

The problem is that you have to assume that he gets more than double what he currently has in polling when push comes to shove on a ballot. Third party candidates poll better than they tend to receive in votes, because people usually have a preference between the other two candidates. You have to assume the reverse, to an almost absurd degree. There is absolutely no indication that it could happen.

 

It was a possibility, yes, because it was pretty obvious early on that he would win the Republican Primary. And a major party candidate always has a chance of winning.

 

And no third party candidate won in 2016.
