CNN: Manchin set to sabotage Biden and No Labels [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-01-28 He’s bragging about sabotaging BBB like he performed some great service to the country. He's a puppet for the petrochemical industry, and his daughter is a shill for Big Pharma. His daughter, Heather Bresch, then CEO of Mylan, worked with her counterpart at Pfizer to corner the market on Epipens and keep costs up. Corporate prostitutes both, who chase personal fortune. CNN: If Manchin runs, he would want to do so using state ballot lines being secured by No Labels, a bipartisan group that has asserted itself as the answer for a political moment in which voters keep telling pollsters they don’t want a Biden-Trump rematch and are exhausted by the political tribalism. The group has set a mid-March deadline to decide whether to back a presidential “unity ticket,” but with about a month and half to go and amid internal turmoil, multiple top No Labels leaders tell CNN they remain in the dark about the path forward. Meanwhile, three years of exhaustion at Manchin upending Biden’s agenda has left the president and top aides keeping their distance, trying to sound out what he’s up to without risking riling him up by going to him directly. They hope Manchin will ultimately decide on his own against an independent run. But they know that a Democratic senator traveling the county warning that Biden has been pulled too far to the political left would be a problem, particularly as the president and his aides try to stitch back their 2020 coalition that ranged from Sanders supporters to anti-Trump Republicans. With the present SCOTUS and a President Manchin it would be a fossil fuel industry dream come true. Maybe buy off some of the public with a few crumbs of social services while the big boys loot and pollute to their cold, black hearts content. Manchin called the president a “good, decent man” but said he worries about a second Biden term with a White House staff who he believes is dominated by a group of “far, far-left liberals.” In other words,environmentalists. One can only hope and pray if Manchin does decide to screw things up once again it ends in disaster … only for him.
