Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) Final Floor Speech

[@piratesmvp]

Looks like there's a lot of Democrats here in the comments that don't like Manchin. They should remember that Manchin was elected in one of the reddest states in the nation. You don't get elected as a Democrat in West Virginia unless you're a more moderate one, so the idea that he didn't represent his constituents during his tenure as Senator is laughable.

[@luckystarfan77]

Exactly. I don't agree with Manchin on most issues as he is more right-wing than I am. However, it is commendable that he was able to be elected in such a deep red state. He's a great man who was able to represent his constituents.

[@upulor744]

All of his constituents would benefit from policies he voted against.

[@TheJosephPrice]

While that may be true, he did more to destroy Democrat's chances of re-election than anyone. Then he left the party before even finishing his term.

[@Dan0948]

Just leave fraud

[@harrisharris5276]

Coward.

[@alanbourbeau24]

I would like to comment on Senator Joe Manchin’s decision. 1. I’m glad that he’s not going to be a state senator anymore. I think retirement is the best decision for him. 2. I’m glad that he’s not a Democratic senator anymore. I’m glad he’s an independent senator and like him, I’m a registered independent voter as well because I’ve had enough of the conflict between Republicans and Democrats. I think that this two party system has caused a lot of conflict and has done more harm than good. Those are my two comments. I don’t expect everyone in the country to become independent voters.
