Just one week after making the announcement that he won't be seeking reelection, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is hinting at a third-party run for president as an alternative to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
In statements obtained from AP News, Manchin spoke out against the dangers of giving Trump a second term, going so far as to say that “he will destroy democracy in America.” And although the senator is against a two-party system, and "would never want to be a 'spoiler' who contributed to getting any other candidate elected," he'd give it a whirl if he was viewed as the right man for the job.
