    He also mispronounces Kamala. That's on purpose, we know. Fuck his benefit of the doubt.

    I’d vote for asparagus over Manchin.

    Then I guess you don't want across-aisle sensibility.
    Seriously, I see the man as someone who would try ... key word "try" ... to bring people together.
    Not to be an ass, because I like you, but whom would you offer as a similar alternative?

    Manchin maximized his value as a decisive swing vote in the Senate. That takes skill, but it's still a far cry from trying to create a coalition among others. He is also an old (76 if I remember correctly).

    It's an interesting argument, but ultimately a losing one. Since Biden has withdrawn, it's a stretch to say the equal time rule even applies. Even if he is still a candidate for federal office making the rule potentially applicable, his decision to withdraw and his subsequent comments are a bona fide news event, which is an exception to the equal time rule.

    Maybe. Probably.

    But then, I've seen enough tennis announcers butcher Slavic names (sha-ra-POH-va) to just give up on anyone making the effort to do it correctly.

    Cue @exmediahack 's comment that he never works on Martin Luther King Day for safety's sake.

    Manchin fought the party agenda, left it, and didn't come back until Biden left demanding a seat at the table. I can appreciate Bernie staying an indie and supporting the party. Manchin is just an opportunist.

    Didn't realize he was that old. Thanks.
