Manchin is such a slimeball
Manchin would at least be tolerable though not ideal, imo.
That's fine. Put them in as much disarray as possible.
I agree. This is a mess-a-minute.Philip J Fry said:

All but 7 of the delegates eligible to vote on the first ballot were selected by the Biden campaign. I doubt that Manchin could get the requisite 300 of those required to sign a petition placing his name in nomination.
Let's go. Have every single democrat throw their name in the ring. Make the "Democratic" party pick a nominee without letting the citizens vote on it. Pull that curtain back to expose the great and powerful wizard of oz.
I hope they have another primary debate & argue will provide the most free healthcare for "men" that have babies
A month away for the nomination. That's a long time. A lot can happen and those delegates are now free to vote as they see fit.

Right now, they still have that virtual roll call vote scheduled for next week. As long as the fix is in, they will probably prefer to do it that way, in order to get it locked in and do it out of sight of the public.BkYdPitmaster said:

Harris has been talking with Hakeem and Shapiro.

He's looking for a payout too
Oh, he's a Democrat again? How convenient.
He may win, but in doing so he would split the Democratic party and it would never re-heal.BkYdPitmaster said:

Somebody get Hilldawg and Bernie to rev up their engines again. Come on!!! The more, the merrier!
Waste of time for the DNC has already made its decision along with selecting Harris's VP.BkYdPitmaster said:

At least he's not 100% against O&G.
Peace for Ukraine!
C'mon Bernie, it's definitely your time!
2+2=5
I seriously doubt if the state party chairs included more than one or two Bernie Bros in their delegation
How many loyal DeSantis voters were chosen to be Delegates in Milwaukee ?

No. What I mean is that once they've nominated Harris, even if by a Zoom call, the deed will be done and what happens in Chicago will just be window dressing. Theoretically, someone other than Harris could put their name in for the nomination on the Zoom call, but they have very little time to do so.BkYdPitmaster said:Are the votes locked in on a virtual roll call?twk said:Right now, they still have that virtual roll call vote scheduled for next week.

Tulsi could cause problems for the Dems and Trump. She is no slouch.
Will be interesting to see how far the Dem party will stray from their ideal progressive agenda toward a moderate middle just to beat Trump.

Manchin probably couldn't win a D primary in Texas much less win the majority of the DNC delegates
Tell me you don't know how delegates are selected without telling me
Almost no such thing anymore as Democrat in the "moderate middle," especially in the House or Senate.chris1515 said:

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
Manchin has sold himself as the one of the most moderate dems in the senate, the fact that he won West Virginia tells you he was able to convince a lot of independents to vote for him.Rapier108 said:Almost no such thing anymore as Democrat in the "moderate middle," especially in the House or Senate.chris1515 said:

I think Manchin is one of the stronger candidates to challenge Trump. Harris doesn't have a chance if she is the nominee. She will do maybe 1 percent better than Biden would have.

There is no "race" for the nomination. The primaries are over.
He can express his desire to be considered, but the DNC will anoint whoever they think can win vs. Trump. Those that have expressed their interest might be considered if they big wigs feel like they could win. Doesn't seem like Manchin fits that description.
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. It's inherent virtue is the equal sharing of miseries." - Winston Churchill
I think it just tosses more chaos into the arena. And every bit helps.

Bring on Beto
Vivek just said on Fox that it likely is going to be Big Mike. She polls well against trump.
I think some dems might see Manchin as their huckleberry in this election. It's a suicide mission, but I think he can appeal to independents against Trump

Manchin would be toast in the far left wing and they wouldn't turn out. Especially the antisemitic wing
