Manchin isn't that. He's a neoliberal. Southern Democrats were the precursors to neoliberals but manchin isn't one.

Southern Democrats were Democrats who voted against the civil rights act. Manchin isn't that old. He's been in office since the mid 80s. He is a classic neoliberal. Liberal on social policies, conservative fiscal policies wrapped in a feel good liberal gild.
