    Not a fan of his abortion stance, but appreciate his courage to do what he feels is right.

    Outside of that he would make a viable 3rd option for me.

    I wonder what office that would be. He's already been Governor of WV a couple of times and declared he won't run for the Senate again. What's left?

    Him and Kyrsten Sinema were always kind of wolves in sheep’s clothing when in came to the D next to their name, anyways. Not surprising news at all.

    Manchin was probably more of a loyal Dem than Sinema, who was just a flake from day 1. This is more about the post-Obama Democratic party basically being non-existent in West Virginia now. He could have done this a long time ago and didn't. Not that I want to give Manchin credit for anything lol.

    So Manchin and Justice basically flip flop jobs, but with Manchin as an Indy?
