West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat, officially filed as an independent Friday. “My commitment to do everything I can to bring out country together has led me to register as …
I’ve argued for years that while I don’t like Manchin personally, he is far superior to any Republican he has run against.
He votes for the good of the country more often than “centrist” Republicans like john McCain or Lisa Murkowski ever have. He has been a blessing to this country and the world.
I’ll say this, even if he voted against the party 100% of the time, anyone that caucuses with the DNC if a vote toward giving Chuck the gavel. That means no stupid Biden impeachment trials, no brining dumb legislation to the floor that won’t get signed, etc etc.
In 6 months Manchin is likely to be replaced with a GOP candidate who supports Trump’s coup attempt. That was always the alternative to Manchin, not some sort of West Virginian Bernie Sanders.

I don’t know about “blessing” but he certainly is preferable to Senate Majority Leader McConnell.
