Democratic Senator Joe Manchin is one of the most pragmatic senators. He would make a great president.

"We have deniers that believe we're going to run this country or run this world without fossil [fuels]," he said at a forum hosted by the Wall Street Journal. "That's a worse denier, thinking they're just going to just shift it and everything's going to be hunky-dory."
Manchin said two forms of denial are taking place. Republicans say human activity is not causing the Earth's temperature to warm, but Democrats and environmentalists have their own specific state of denial on using nothing but zero-emission fuels such as solar and wind to power the world.
Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton want to move the country away from fossil fuels entirely. Clinton got herself in hot water while in Ohio last month when she said she would cause more coal miners to lose their jobs if made president. The comment forced her to send off a flurry of clarifications after mining groups and lawmakers called her comments callous.
Manchin, however, is not ready to vote Republican. When asked what he would do first, vote for Trump or support a carbon tax, he responded, "As Lindsey Graham says, give me poison or give me a gun."

Spot fucking on. Bernie Sanders is so fucking extreme about this. He's really going to stop climate from changing. :crazy:
Hillary Clinton for prison not president. Bernie Sanders is a lunatic who destroy the American economy. I am the only one who can make America great again.

Hillary is going to the white house not to jail. Bernie is an extremist nutcase and I do not have a clue where you stand on issues from one day to the next.

Nothing in there about NAFTA. And how on earth will you strengthen environmental standards in China?

Denying that fossil fuels will be used in the future. That is big time denial.
That nutjob Sanders wants to prosecute climate deniers. Nevermind that it is totalitarian in nature, as it is essentially an attack on the First Amendment. Anyway, he would have to prosecute himself because he denies fossil fuel usage in the future.

Opinions are just like assholes. Everyone has one. And they are not subject to prosecution. Sanders can go suck eggs.

Sanders millennial base is being screwed by Sanders and they don't even know the wool is being pulled over their eyes. Mark Levin's book Plunder And Deceit is a good read on this.
Joe Manchin is one of only a tiny few of his fellow pols who has a clue and is a decent person .. .and smart

Senator Manchin is good. :smiley_thumbs_up_yellow_ani:
There used to be plenty of conservative Democrats like Senator Manchin. JFK would never get the Democratic nomination today because he would be considered too conservative as his party has shifted to the left in the past decade. Old style Democrats like Manchin are considered DINOs---Democrat In Name Only.
Joe is someone I can work with when I become president.
