  1. I hope he runs. I'd vote for him. Both parties need to make compromises if they want our country to make it to its tricentennial.

  2. Screw you! Wtf…now…have to be now? Wow…insane!

  3. 拜登 挺住啊!!!!!

  4. That is manchin’s plan as a republikkkan plant.

  5. Manchineel is going to throw the election for the liberals, if he’s not careful! Which brings up the question was he a right wing leftist from the very start?

  6. Not a big loss, he was no democrat

  7. Is Manchin the Democratic version of Trump?

  8. Manchin is not a "centrist". He is an opportunist who will vote for anyone who pays him enough to vote their way.
    Losing him from the Senate is not a threat to Democrats, since he doesn't side with them on issues. His only "side" is the Manchin side.

  9. Davos Joe the sellout on the bill that is destroying the country. But hey your a millionaire, you can afford your bills!😡😡

  10. Good. Without him Democrats won’t have any excuses for advancing progressive policies the next time they have the majority in both houses.

  11. Police 2 Thessolonian 1 verse 9 NO NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.

  12. Joe Manchin is a traitor he’s always been a traitor!!!!!!!

  13. Her good reputation already speaks for her, just last month i invested over $10,000 with her and I've already made over $150,000 profit.

  14. I'm curious to know how you earn that much weekly

  15. No worries. They will replace him with someone who is even more corrupt.

  16. Joe Manchin has been a disaster for the Democratic party from the start, he could've voted to strike down the 60 vote threshold of the filibuster that would've given Democrats and Joe Biden an opening to codifying abortion rights, gun reform, DACA, build back, better, voting rights and child care but Joe Manchin didn't do all of that why, it's because he stood in the way by destroying Democratic achievements and success that would've helped putting both the country and the American people first and Joe Manchin is responsible for all the crap-storms he and Krysten Sinema created and because of them they've pandered to the MAGA Republican party and crippling everything Democrats set out to accomplish and for that I still blame Joe Manchin for all the damage he's done. Joe Manchin denigrates and diminishes the success the Democratic party and Joe Biden achieved and he's throwing everything away and I don't want to hear anything coming out of his mouth about wanting to reach to the middle because reaching the middle doesn't include putting people including children back into poverty and cozying up to the money interest and the corporate interest or allow more right-wing voter suppression and partisan gerrymandering to help allow Republicans to win elections and not being able to govern or allow the destruction of our country to continue at the feet of Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans and Joe Manchin is not the kind of politician this nation cannot trust, Joe Manchin will do anything to hurt Joe Biden, Dems, including the entire country to benefit both Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans and with the Democratic senate at risk, it'll be hard for the Democrats to win in red states and not have full control of the Democratic senate and Joe Manchin has once again given a victory to both Trump and the MAGA Republicans control of the senate and on that note I dislike Joe Manchin of diminishing Democratic priorities and success and this is exactly why Democrats shouldn't be the party of establishment, elite, Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, wealthy, corporate political party, what Democrats should be is the party of working class, middle class, poor class, youth class, diverse class, union class, blue collar, white collar class, rural class, urban class, suburban class and even the country first political party which is what Democrats should be about and there can be no longer Joe Manchin's and Kyrsten Sinema's in this political landscape, the politics in America must change.

  17. And we will not vote for you for any office. Another traitor who profitize his family coal business.

  18. Manchin is such a flip flopper don't believe him

  19. All he did was cause trouble

  20. His quitting now is so obvious. He and his fellow fake democrat,Sinema managed to tear apart what the democrats had planned to help America. They are double agents. I hope they get just what they deserve. I thought he would flip republican, but I was wrong. He wants to stay in the middle and work both sides. Devious, terrible person that cannot be trusted. Trusted,is a misnomer in reference to politics. Hope all that went to Washington for the power and gold winds up in a soup line. It is a good start to learning humility and humanity.

  21. He is a weak, two faced deceiver

  22. He was never a Democrat, just a politician for hire.

  23. Who? Another Joe? Oh heck no! He doesn't have a chance at president. The only reason he will run is for the fundraising millions he'll receive towards his retirement.

  24. BOMBSHELL VS GOOD NEWS

    HMMM… GOOD NEWS !

    THANKS ! 👋 BYE

  25. Conservative Dem Manchin never gave the Left any real majority. Hes a Coal Baron, Climate Change Denying Opportunist

  26. Anything that rids us of Sleepy Joe.

  27. Manchin has had his eyes on the WH for years, which explains his legislatively-destructive activities when working with the GOP. The good news is that if he does run for POTUS, he will draw support equally from both parties and obtain minimal votes, making his candidacy a non-factor in terms of the outcome.

  28. He's running for president…

  29. He will have the same chances as Pence.

  30. Glad the Democrats are losing power. They’re ruining the country.
    I won’t vote for them ever again.
    That said, the GOP needs to get it together.
    Biden has gone too liberal.
    He has lost independent voters.
    Standing on the picket lines he has forgotten all the people who voted for him who work in other industries and got screwed by these striking workers.

  31. This guy will not be hard to replace. Republicans will lose big in this election. All this about Republicans having any chance to win back power is just more Republican Propaganda. If you pay someone to take a poll for you, you can get whatever numbers you want. Polls, especially nowadays cannot be believed. These last few elections Democrats have won big. Trumps base is a lot less than they were in 2020. I don't see Trump getting any more than 3 million votes Nationwide. Why do I think this? Because there are more educated people here in America than not. There are more people who want to keep Our Constitution in affect. There are many more Americans who want to keep Our Democracy in affect. There are more people in America who want to maintain the Freedoms given to us in Our Constitution. There are many more people here that want to keep our ability to choose our own destiny. Not have it Dictated to us. Above all I think there are more people who want to keep the Liberties we have as Americans. This fringe of would be Democracy killing, Communist Dictator installing, Traitors, are far fewer than what the main stream media, (who is owned by the very people who are causing this mess to happen, the 1%), would have you believe.

    In My View / Hawk

    "The Evil In The World"

    When I was 17 I had been living homeless and on the streets of Downtown Houston since I was 8 years old. Evil was a part of life on those streets. I saw so many lose their lives in all sorts of Evil ways. I thought I knew what Evil looked like. The very day I turned 17 I was on a bus headed for basic training in Fort Polk Louisiana. 3 hots and a cot looked very appealing to me at that point in my life, and they paid you. Not much, $417.20 a month, but I was happy to be out of that Evil hell hole I grew up in. After training, I was sent to Germany. I arrived in Berlin in 1976. The height of The Cold War. At that time both sides were calling the other the Evil in the World so I didn't know what to expect. Was I one of the good guys or one of the bad? I didn't know. From the Airport in Berlin we were taken to Check Point Charlie to see what it was we were there for. I was shocked at what I saw. I thought I knew what Evil was but after only a millesecond of looking at that Wall and what was on the other side of it I realized I knew nothing of Evil. I was on the right side of good and Evil. I could see it and I felt it to my bones. What I was looking at was the Evil in the World. Communism. This is the Evil in the World. I was from then on proud to stand with arms against that Evil. I guarded that Iron Curtain from Berlin to what was then Czechoslovakia, and that same Evil was everywhere I saw. There is still no doubt in me what Evil is. I saw it with my own eyes. Sadly. I now am seeing this same Evil here in America. Most of the Republican Party are now trying to bring that same Evil to America. All this with Trump and friends has been a Communist attempt to pull off a coup to destroy Our Democracy and install a Dictator using Trump and friends to do so. Make no mistake. Most of the Republican Party have traded their Oaths of Office to Uphold and Defend Our Constitution and the Rule of Law for an Oath of Loyalty to a Man and a Party. They are now Communist intent on destroying Our Democracy. If we are still a Country that Upholds and Defends Our Constitution and the Rule of Law, everyone who participated in this Communist attempt to takeover of Our Government must be put out of Office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, and never be allowed to run for or hold any Office ever again. Trump and his would be Communist Dictator Installing Traitors must go to prison for their treachery against Our Constitution. Put them all in a cell all around Trump so they can admire and kiss the hooves of their Golden Calf, from in there. May God help us and forgive us for ever letting this Evil come into his Country. This should be treated as an act of War on the United States from Russia. Putin is behind all this. America must reject the Evil of Communism, lest we become the Evil in the World. God help us and forgive us for ever letting this Evil come into your Country. — I Am!

  32. He voted with Republicans so many times, he may as well have been one

  33. Doing the work of his funders

  34. Does it? He was mainly a flip-flopper Republican with little allegiance to the Democratic Party. And I highly doubt his dubious track record will garner him much support. The Dems are OK losing this one. I hope a better Democrat takes his place.

  35. Manchin hasn't done anything but sell his vote for years.
    Good riddance dino.
