I don't think Manchin would make it through the Democratic primary. He is hated by much of the liberal base of the party, by both Sanders supporters and Clinton supporters.
I think an interesting scenario would be Manchin running as an independent. I can see two scenarios playing out.
1. Trump loses the Republican primary and runs as an independent with Manchin as his VP.
2. Trump not running in 2020 or getting impeached and Manchin running in 2020 as an independent. I think a lot of Trump Republicans and socially conservative Democrats would vote for Manchin in this scenario.
I don't think a Manchin run is likely in any case, though. It is too bad because I am a fan of Manchin.
