- b.c.,
The more I learn of this guy the more I become convinced that he is (and has always been) a Republican in the guise of a Democrat. Supported and elected in a heavily Republican district, and apparently for good reason. He recently said Donald Trump called him all the time. I BET HE DID.
And frankly I think his spiel on "bipartisanship" is a phony a----- smokescreen for keeping his right wing base via HIS support of MUCH OF THE RIGHT WINGED AGENDA:
Joe Manchin comes out against DC statehood -- and people are livid - Raw Story

Joe Manchin is spreading his own Big Lies and the media needs to call him out for them

And frankly I think his spiel on "bipartisanship" is a phony a----- smokescreen for keeping his right wing base via HIS support of MUCH OF THE RIGHT WINGED AGENDA:
He opposed the energy policies of President Barack Obama, voted against cloture for the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010, voted to remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood in 2015, supported ... Donald Trump's immigration policies and voted to confirm most of his cabinet and judicial appointees, including Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
But Manchin has also repeatedly voted against attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), voted to preserve funding for Planned Parenthood in 2017, and voted against the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
He vocally opposes policy proposals from the progressive wing of his party, including Medicare For All, abolishing the filibuster, increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court, increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, and attempts to defund the police.
As of 2021, Manchin is the only Democrat holding statewide office in West Virginia, as well as the only Democrat in West Virginia's congressional delegation.
