Party of Tolerance: 225,000 Lefties Sign Petition to Fire Sen. Manchin After He Hugged Trump

We get the feeling these clowns don’t know how elections work.
After his speech Tuesday night, President Trump gave Sen. Joe Manchin a bro handshake and a bro hug. Now almost a quarter million liberals want Sen. Chuck Schumer to give the West Virginia Democrat the boot.
On Thursday dozens of activists plan to deliver 225,000 petitions to Schumer’s office, asking the minority leader to kick the “Trump-apologist Joe Manchin from Senate Democratic Leadership.” But they’re mad about more than just the bipartisan meet-cute.
They’re in the minority, have 23 seats to defend in 2018 (at least 10 in states Trump won handily), so sure, let’s move further to the left. Seems like a winning strategy.
On Tuesday night, Manchin was one of the few Democrats hopping on their feet to applaud the president. Before that, he was one of the few Democrats willing to criticize the Obama administration’s regulation on the coal industry. And now the blue senator from the red state has warmed up to Trump.
As his own party drifts further to the left, Manchin has become an anathema to the liberal base. He criticizes “the hard core left,” invites the editors of Breitbart into his own office, and voted to confirm a dozen of Trump’s cabinet nominees.
Considering how obsolete Democrats have become in West Virginia, it’s probably just makes sense for Manchin to become a Republican.
It’ll make even more sense after the impending 2018 Democrat bloodbath.

I would wager that Manchin, along with Pres Trump, is very popular in the ranks of the UMWA, a group that historically has been very strongly Democrat.
But, Obutthole, the magic nigger, that the press claimed was so smart, and the hildebeast, who they claimed was the smartest woman in the world, both pissed in the miners faces. And they wonder why she lost so bad? Shitlerly, and Obutthole, proved that they and their sycophants are really DUMBASSES !!!
I would not be surprised if Manchin switches to the GOP.
I would bet that any Union official that goes around telling the membership that they HAVE to vote democrat, will get his ass kicked !

I wouldn't be surprised either, but I hope he doesn't. I hope he sits right there as a sane Democrat, cooperates with Trump on those things he thinks are good for his state, and refuses to let the Democrat radicals bully him out of his own party.
Trump would not be in office, and the Republicans would not be in power, if the Democrats actually gave a damn about the working people of America. Manchin still DOES give a damn about the working people of his state. As a Democrat.
The Democrats' only hope is to accept Trump's trade, industrial, immigration and foreign policy - which SHOULD be theirs - and drive the oligarchs (such as the Clintons and Pelosis) out of THEIR party.
They won't any time soon. But Manchin needs to be tough and not just let the radical buffoons completely conquer the Democrat party. He needs to be their "Reagan in the wilderness" figure.
