Who do they think can win the Senate in WV? A liberal?
So they really think this is the reason we've lost seats?
And what shitty timing.
Doug Applegate reposted this on his FB page.
So glad Mike Levin won the primary.

My former Congressperson retired, leaving the position for his son.
The ex-Congressperson as a lobbyist for an industry he "oversaw" as a Congressperson.
Amazing how that happens.

(58,724 posts)4. Manchin goes full MAGA
Joe Manchin wants you to know he really likes Donald Trump.
The West Virginia senator doesnt put it quite that way. But more than any other Democrat in Congress, he's positioned himself as a vocal Trump ally. In fact, the senator, up for reelection in a state Trump won by more than 40 points, told POLITICO he isnt ruling out endorsing Trump for reelection in 2020 a position practically unheard of for a politician with a D next to his name.
Im open to supporting the person who I think is best for my country and my state, Manchin said this week from the drivers seat of his Grand Cherokee, insisting hes game to work with any president of either party. If his policies are best, Ill be right there.
