It doesn’t matter if you are independent if you still vote

GOP should not trust Manchin. Visualize Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown to kick. That's Joe.

Until someone goes to jail nothing cheaters win.

He caved because his wife profited. He’s all about self.

They can call themselves whatever they like but if they always support democrat bills...they're a democrat!

[randydoak]

Manchin is concerned about one thing, protecting the interest of his wealthy donors.

[richardwhite]

Follow the money! That's this guy's motivation! Just like all these corrupt politicians!

[mitch_the_-itch]

The GOP needs NO MORE RINOS.
Funny how they call themselves "Independent" yet vote with Democrats every single time. Name one time Bernie Sanders voted for a GOP bill, lolol. Its all theatre all day.

[michaeln.]

He's like hiring an employee, but you don't know what you're getting.

[joenorris]

As a constituent; Manchin is history; Most of WV will not vote for Manchin again. Had his last opponent been a native of the state in his last election, IMO he would have lost then. Now with the Manchin being the author and the person who introduced the Inflation reduction act, which does exactly the opposite, Manchin's days are numbered!

[jackoreilly]

What difference does it make which party he aligns with or doesn’t…he will do what’s right for him first and we the people a distant second…same goes with Sinema

[CupidsCrackhouse]

Our government is having fun. We are paying for all of this.

A Demonrat is a Demonrat no matter the label.

[williampennjr.]

Bernie Sanders has some nerve to criticize anyone for becoming an Independent when that is exactly what he ran as for years.

[Madeintexas]

No wonder Republicans aren’t voting for him.

[igotanM]

Why don't they just switch to Republican instead of taking the cowards way out and going "independent"?

[stardust-rvmr]

it's not about who votes, it's who counts the votes.
