Sen. Joe Manchin is one of the only “reasonable” (I use the term loosely) Democrats out there. Most of them are hanging over the edge.
He recently weighed in on Elizabeth Warren’s nutty presidential aspirations, and he dropped a little truth bomb: His state won’t embrace someone as extreme and ridiculous as her.
“Elizabeth would have a hard time in West Virginia, she really would,” Manchin said. “But she’s welcome to come down. Maybe she can change her positions. These are all my friends. I’ve worked with everybody, from the right to the left, I’m able to work with everybody. But I want them to see the real world, to see real West Virginia, to see real rural America, to see people who really get up and work hard and don’t ask for anything.”
“West Virginia is not going to accept an extremist,” Joe Manchin on 2020 Democrats to @jimsciutto

"You have to have someone who is a realist and centrist," says Dem. @Sen_JoeManchin on 2020.
"West Virginia is not going to accept the extremes," adding "Elizabeth [Warren] will have a hard time in West Virginia, she really would." https://t.co/RwM8dDBKqR pic.twitter.com/oNkGysoRr1

Libs are so angry at Manchin.
Joe Manchin in the last week has spent more time attacking Democrats than he has criticizing Trump in the two years he’s been in office. https://t.co/A97LVb4fCu

Republican in Democrat’s clothing Joe Manchin says the 2020 nominee needs to be a “centrist” before suggesting Elizabeth Warren visits West Virginia so maybe she can change her policies. All this clown does nowadays is attack the left. pic.twitter.com/5RVePt8Oty

“Republican in Democrat’s clothing.” That’s a first.
Dear Vegas, please come up with a way I can bet some money on whether Joe Manchin will be a speaker at the 2020 Republican convention.

So to sum up fake Democrat Joe Manchin’s interview this morning, he attacked Democrats and defended Republicans.

They’re also mad because Manchin refused to praise Rep. Tlaib’s ridiculous impeachment rant.
Joe Manchin has apologized to "all Americans" for Rashida Tlaib's comment.
Keep it, Joe, I'm good. I'm more offended about how you voted to allow a rapist onto the Supreme Court last year than a mean word, but that's just me.
