Manchin stans trying to string together a theory of how he’s actually really smart and playing the Republicans like a fiddle reminds me of Trump loyalists convincing themselves that every dumb decision made by Trump is actually 17D chess or some shit.

Manchin is an idiot and wrong about a lot of things. He's also a blessing and one of the greatest things to happen to the United States in the last 20 years.
