Donald Jr. attacks Manchin even after he says he'll vote "YES" on Kavanaugh.

@DonaldJTrumpJr
A real profile in courage from Lyin’ liberal @JoeManchinWV. Waited until Kavanugh had enough votes secured before he announced his support. I bet he had another press release ready to go if Collins went the other way.

Jeezez Joe Manchin! I'm beyond embarrassed for you. If you take this, you're pathetic.

If Manchin felt that bring pro-Kavanaugh was so crucial to keeping his seat, he should have said he was planning to vote Yes but wasn't 100% committed. Doing it last minute just looks very weak and as much as I hate to say it, Trump Jr is basically right!

Here is how Manchin should have played it. He should have been saying he is pro-Kavanaugh and will likely vote Yes but open to changing his mind.

1. In the event Republicans have the votes, he can claim he was for Kavanaugh all along. He doesn't look weak.

2. In the event two Republicans vote No, he would be a deciding vote. In that case, the two Republicans give him cover to vote No and he can just say these two changed his mind.

It's not too late!

He should do a McCain "thumbs down" TODAY followed by an "up yours" middle finger!
