Bernie Says He’d Be Open To Supporting Manchin, Sinema Primary Challenge

[Missouri_Mike]

If not (D) he would be (I). Don't hold your breath hoping he will be (R) as it won't happen.

He’d be an (I) like sanders who’s a solid democrat but on the Republican side. Close enough.

I honestly don't know why he and Sinema haven't already done that. The Democrats clearly don't want them and they aren't Trumpy enough for the Republicans.

Manchin's family has long been a Democrat thing here in WV. Also Joe will be 78 come the next election and I don't think he really cares if he wins another term or not.

Manchin: Primary me if you want, I won't go 'nuclear'

Democrats are likely to try to revive the "talking filibuster" in a doomed bid to pass election reform. Their two centrists still aren't on board.

No Democrat in West Virginia would want Sanders endorsement... Talk about the kiss of death...

If Sanders REALLY wants to fuck Manchin over... Sanders should endorse HIM.

Q: "If this is a critical moment for democracy and a moral moment, would you support efforts to primary Sens. Manchin and Sinema?"

Schumer's answer: "I'm not getting into the politics. This is a substantive serious issue"

you wouldn't expect a politician to "get into the politics"

They'll turn republican or libertarian and win, which will cause the Dems to shit bricks.

Joe's actions are playing very well here.

"here"?


What is "here" to which you refer-- remedial education class, mental institution or prison?

I can’t wait for Bernie to go to West Virginia… bring Nina Turner, it’s gonna be great

 

[FA_Q2]

Yes. Wonderful idea. Get rid of 2 centrists in your party and replace them with 2 people of the other party. That will get Bernie..... well I don't know how that is going to help him push his agenda but it sure would make him feel better.....

I think the left should primary both. That way both seats can turn red.

Pelosi on House Dems criticizing Manchin and Sinema: "I have discouraged people from making comments about them," saying that they "have to be respectful."

She added, "I don't think there's any upside in Democrats criticizing Democrats."
