Good riddance, the big blackmailer finally gives up.

[georgeberg]

Shameful how so called public servant's serve the public by trying to impose their beliefs on the rest of us instead of representing our needs.

[projectrings]

Family long-term wealth has been secured. No need to take grief from us for his corruption anymore. He can move on to an even higher-earning lower-profile grift next. Or maybe he will try to run for president and give us all the finger.

[joerogain]

Good riddance Maserati ManChin, don't let the barn door hit ya on the way out!

[Sonyag]

But before he decided to leave, he helped put the current new occupants of the Supreme Court on the bench. I wouldn't be surprised if Republican operatives have offered him big money to leave his seat.

[jimough]

Not any loss. Manchin was out for what was good for Manchin.

[terryloftus]

No loss, he isnt a true Democrat, he goes where the money is.

[jvcyt]

I'm sure that he has well-feathered his nest by now and has many lucrative years ahead in the private sector. I'd say, on the whole, he spent more time as a foe, rather than a friend to his party, his constituents, and the nation.

[aprilrains]

Manchin must have filled his cash bag to the point of bursting and decided it was more profitable to take the cash and run.

[cheechola]

He’s gonna pop up on the board of a fracking company telling people “flaming water is just the bipartisan solution to thirst and cold winters” or some other soulless moneymaking BS.

[brothertaro]

Just a reminder that Trump was the first president since Hoover to leave office with a net loss of jobs. But in terms of indictments, he's totally in a class of his own!

[jerryhouse]

He was smart because he was going to lose anyway people are fed up with him.

[zedwolf]

It's more than about time he's blocked so many good bills and became very wealthy from his seat, l just hope the youth show up in West Virginia to show that we can do better by electing decent politicians.

[rubinklein]

A man without a moral compass or sensible ideas has decided to quit. Rejoice

[createaccount]

He's funneled his coffers to the max, he's getting out while he can.

[SharonJones-jtkg]

Thank you Jesus. He is horrible for democrats. Undercover Republican.

[kenteague]

So good to see this corrupt man go now investigate him

[jeanneharris]

Great news! Now the Dems must get serious to elect a real Dem this time! Real Dem.

[DJIFridays]

Basically the Senate equivalent of quitting before getting fired.

[pruiz]

He is doing this to give a Republican a VERY VERY open door .
