Well, Cornel West already is. He's announced he's running as a Green and that's that. But I don't expect much from him, typical Greens numbers (maybe even less).
No Labels? Yeah, they're doing it but it remains to be seen who'll be the standard bearer. Manchin is flirting with it but I don't think he will in the end. Still, they're going to carve out a chunk of the middle of the electorate which is, disappointing.
Cornel is a fly to be swatted away. No Labels has a shit-ton of funding, deep pocketed backers, and that squishy center is far too likely to chase the pretty butterfly.
I do not share your confidence that Manchin won't bite. He like to say "fuck you" to the base and the further left of center Dems that it is the kind of shit he would do. Plus, regardless of what the Bulwarkers say, he has to know that his time in office in WV is pretty much done. WV has shifted so far to the Red that I doubt he really has a chance.
They're really going to do this, aren't they?

Nope, it is gonna be a shit show.
