because Manchin WON'T run in any primary! He would run as a 3rd party in the general election.
Fake news.

I tend to agree. The No Labels people have come out and said that they won’t run a candidate if it’s going to benefit Trump.

I’m not convinced that a Manchin third party run would be beneficial to Trump and detrimental to whoever the dem nominee is.
This is a classic Manchin play to get something he wants from the DNC like we’ve seen him do in the past.

Manchin knows how to get what he wants from the establishment.

Joe falls for that ever time. The Dems promise him something in exchange for his vote and then renege. He gets out maneuvered every time because he’s a “moderate “.

Hell! I'm not saying that I'll vote for him, but a TON of people will!

The question is whether Manchin as a third party candidate has the ability to gather enough electoral votes to keep both Biden and Trump under 270. If so, it goes to the House, and he would likely be the compromise candidate (top 3 electoral vote getters are eligible). The VP is chosen from the top 2 VP candidates, which would likely be the Republican, since it provides a balance to the ticket plus Harris is an idiot.

Looks like the extreme moderates will have a candidate, Joe Manchin.
And the reason he is is he is getting KILLED by Big JIM in polls.

Manchin won’t win the primary so this is all a pointless exercise,
You are completely confused. Read the OP please.

He will get votes from the weak Rhino repubs also.

According to economists there is a 70% chance we will be in a deep recession within a year.
Name just one. I watch business news all day long. Yet to hear the word “deep” when describing any possible recession.
And Trump ain’t winning regardless of how many candidates flood the field. A Trump nomination is a win for Biden.

0.0% chance.

The Manchin money pot must need topping up.
