    There could be some alternate reality where he runs and beats Justice.

    We’re not in that reality. Manchin’s time in the senate is over. And here’s hoping he never holds any office ever again. He’s a corrupt nutsack on his best day.

    I don’t think he wants to run as a spoiler for Biden. I think he’s looking to run as a spoiler for Trump.

    Sure. He’s totally that altruistic. He wants, in order to spoil in favor of the guy whose agenda he blocked, to abandon his ability to continue to block it.

    The simplest answer is he knows he won’t win.

      It’s very popular among the left wing of the party to hate manchin. But I’d rather have a manchin than a markwayne mullin or a josh hawley.
