Manchin throwing his hat into the 2024 ring?

Yes. He is the most old school democrat there is in that part so he is basically a republican.
I think Manchin would probably be a much better choice at this point and time. I would support him, but I also know many on this forum dislike him, and maybe there's valid reason in disliking him. I can only view him from afar.
I would put him in front of a lot of people but he is a real piece of work. He did some amazingly dumb things as governor. Very much a micromanager.
A lot of old school democrats and Republicans here in NJ like him .
I think he is a bastard rat and can't get behind him . Yes he is more moderate than Biden but he has voted to confirm every left leaning person he could. He himself may have more moderate views but will always stand with the biggest donations...moral be damned
At this point, I'm of the belief that the political process is pretty much broken for good, as is the country. Thankfully, I'm old enough that I won't live long enough to see the final outcome of this current trajectory, but it's not going to be a pretty sight. I'm hoping somehow, some way, the country will get back on the right track, but I'm simply not seeing anything that gives me a bunch of hope. I still blame most of this on Kaperdick taking that knee for the very first time. Seems like things began to spiral downhill at a much quicker pace after that occurred.
I like Joe and I would support him. He connects easily with people and is a very good campaigner. People like our far left nutjob from NY are in for a rude awakening if he runs.
Dems that don't vote for him if he gets the nomination would play right into the hands of the Repub.
Definitely need a convention of the states to help get us on the right track .
