Joe Manchin for President as Dem or Republican in 2024?

He clearly wants to run and personally, I am all for it.

He would fail miserably in a Republican primary against Trump, DeSantis, or whatever vaguely MAGA person they put up.

But let’s say Biden implodes or worse, and the Dem side is wide open, and Manchin is in early and poised to take the primary on that side.

I would so dearly love to politely listen to the Blue No Matter Who faithful explaining to me why Joe Fucking Manchin is so much better than those evil guys. Arizona’s own Sinema for Veep?

Yeah. Good times. Rock on, JoeX2. I’m down with you, if not with any sincerity at all.
