Wow. Almost unheard of that a Senator would ever use this kind of angry language (link below) to publicly address a President of his own Party...
but three days out from a crucial election??!!
I mean, reading between the lines, Manchin all but called Senile Joe, uh, senile while demanding an apology for the President's idiotic vow yesterday to shut down coal plants.
Somebody should tell Senile Joe that there are quite a few coal plants in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan -- all crucial states in Tuesday's election -- and bragging that you're going to shut them down a few days before the vote is pretty strange politics.
On the other hand, someone should also tell Manchin that when you lie down with dogs, you shouldn't be surprised to get up covered in fleas.
No matter how you cut it, Manchin came close to burning his bridges with his statement this morning. The way the election breeze appears to be blowing, Dem-Media will have all it can do to maintain the current 50-50 split in the Senate, but with Manchin this angry and alienated, 50-50 may not be enough to maintain effective control:
