Manchin isn’t up for re-election until the end of President Trump’s second term in office.

Didn't Trump once say he was going to 'be so presidential'? Or was that just another of his 15,000 (and counting) lies.

However, he was impeached. History books will show an asterisk by his name denoting he was impeached.

“I expect every American, and myself, would like my president and our president to act like a responsible adult, and he's not,” Manchin told CNN
Also Manchin: “Well, first of all, the munchkin — I'm taller than him, I think I'm a little bigger than he is, not heavier, he's much heavier than me but I'm a little taller than him so I guess he's got that a little bit off,”
What was that about acting like a responsible adult? Guy's a clown.

My favorite verb was.
Toasted Heretic
The tyrant demands fealty and those who dare speak out will suffer his vengeance. But fear not. Eventually he will fall, as all dictators are wont to do.
Your favourite verb was what?
bass4funk
What? Ok, well...anyhoo...2024 and then the Socialist liberals can try again, maybe they might have better luck.

I’m disappointed in Manchin. He did a poor job representing his constituents. If he had been up for re-election he would have voted differently.
plasticmonkey
When will the far left socialist Manchin understand that he serves at the pleasure of this president?
All hail Trump!
Blacklabel
He serves at the pleasure of his constituents- who overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
bass4funk
Well, the impeachment farce is over so no need to look back.
plasticmonkey
Ergo, any member of congress from a red state who defies Trump in any way must be purged.
The people of West Virginia know who their true Lord and Savior is.
Save us from our better judgment, Trump!
Blacklabel
He is there to represent the people of his state. Not to just decide what Joe Manchin wants. Same goes for Romney. Elected by the people to do business on their behalf.
that’s how representative form of government works.
Blacklabel
He was acquitted. Sorry.

However, he is an self-admitted pervert so History books will show an asterisk by his name denoting that he was (and is) a "perv"...
Mr IAP...

Remember that time Hillary was never even charged, and you guys screamed "lock her up"?
Remember those times Trump is clearly guilty as sin, and you guys pretend he didn't do anything wrong?
Remember why we can't have honest discussions with you?
Strangerland
So you agree that Hillary was completely innocent then as well, right?
Oh wait, no you don't. Your ethics aren't on what is right or wrong, but rather whom you are talking about.
Next.
Toasted Heretic
The term Socialist liberals is an oxymoron, used by people who don't have a grasp of politics.
Strangerland
As will the fact that transparency was obstructed by Trump and the Republicans. The history books will always point out how it was a sham and that it was clear he was guilty.
Strangerland
I mean we're dealing with some people who truly believe, not just faking it, but truly believe that Trump is working in their best interests.
It's not like we're dealing with the sharpest tools in the shed.
Blacklabel
Because the President is not a state senator. Geez...
and he was acquitted and your new attempt at a catchphrase is horrible. He was impeached once, which is not “a lot”. He was also acquitted the same number of times, once. 1-1=0.
Blacklabel
And here comes Hillary again. the desperation to get the topic shut down. Hillary was not acquitted, Trump was.
Blacklabel
No because history is written by the winners. Not by partisan whiners. He was acquitted. Bottom line fact. Even your favorite liberal media put it on the top of the page for you in big bold letters. trump ACQUITTED it read.
Strangerland
You people are going to try to lecture us on bringing up Hillary more?
Srsly? You people?
And you wonder why we can't have honest discussions.
Strangerland
Heh, it's cute that you think he was really acquitted with the sham "trial".
When one team obstructs the evidence, he wasn't acquitted. Sorry. Don't expect the rest of us are going to suddenly ascribe to this ridiculous delusion.
bass4funk
I don’t think about the woman, she never and will never be President.
Socialists liberals throughout history always have said that ,
Strangerland
Um yeah, duh, because 97 investigations couldn't even get enough to put forth a charge for her to be acquitted of.
And you people yelled lock her up for years. Then try to claim Trump is somehow innocent even though there was only a sham of an investigation into him, during which your team made sure any evidence was not allowed to be stated.
And you wonder why we can't have honest discussions.
Strangerland
Clueless Republicans have always said that.
Strangerland
Remember that time, the morons had a sham trial, and were so delusional they thought the world would somehow accept that as an acquittal?
bass4funk
Cute?? It’s in the documented records, can’t change it. Ask Chief Justice Roberts, his signature is on the form.
When one team gathers the flimsiest of evidence.
And Elvis is alive and George Soros is the POTUS.
And still winning.....by the way, where is Schiff? ROFL!
Strangerland
Yep - news all over the world reported it, and it clearly showed Trump is guilty. You didn't think a sham of a trial was going to erase the documented records did you?
Hehe, it's cute that you think that we're going to suddenly pretend Sir Impeached-a-lot isn't guilty, as if we're Republican reality deniers or something!
bass4funk
Neither was Trump, not under oath, never convicted and was acquitted, that’s for life. Freeeeeedom! And now liberals get to partake in that celebration for 4 more years.
Unlike Trump, she will never, ever, ever be President of the US.
Strangerland
Um yes he was, he was impeached.
no matter how many times you people want to overturn the democratic impeachment of a criminal and pretend otherwise, there it is.
Blacklabel
Let me check again. Yep still acquitted. Might have to provide daily updates until some of you catch up to facts.
Chip Star
We’ve accepted that Donny was acquitted in a show trial conducted by the biased GOP. Have you accepted that Donny corrupted the office of the president?
Chip Star
Roger Stone was convicted.
bass4funk
Trump was acquitted of charges of “abuse of power and obstruction.” Historical eternal fact.
Hillary will always be the woman that failed to get the presidency twice. Lol
