“Today, our national politics are broken and neither party is willing to compromise to find common ground,” Manchin said.
Coming from that obstructionist jackass?
But this won’t effectively change anything. I’m pretty sure party affiliation is the wind, you can change that shit back and forth every afternoon.
What matters is who you caucus with. And that, I’m pretty sure, can only be changed when a new two year sessions begins.
Manchin was already obstructing, he’ll keep obstructing, and Dems will maintain they’re meaningless majority.
This is just something he’s doing so when he’s out of office he has the option of going full trump.
There’s been speculation about a Governor run, which this would help. But this really sets him up for the conservative talk circuit or for a book deal people will buy and never read.
He is technically a Dem senator who we let chair important committees who left the Dem party due to unfair treatment of trump.
The propaganda value of that to Republicans is insane, and why I never understood why the party defend and supported Manchin.
This likely would have happened even if trump was found innocent, he’d have said it proved the trial was politically motivated.
These people are assholes, but they didn’t get to where they are because they suck at planning. Same as Hillary doing her cash grab as soon as the verdict came out, there was likely different “merch” if he got off about how we should have picked her.
Lots of people had moves ready and just waiting to fill in the middle bits.
