this was reported before. He's from a red state, so he gets tolerated. It's about as progressive as WV can do, I guess.

Never mind that if he's endorsing Collins he's going directly against any notion of that happening, that's what the very smart, sensible types on here who clearly understand civics way more than I do tell me.

We tolerate this douche because he apparently votes with us "when it counts" (whatever that means), but now he's serving as a complete hindrance to his party regaining power. Fuck this guy a billion times over.

...I was pointing out the fallacy that so many on here build their house of cards upon. "We need to be nice to him and not primary him because he'll vote for Majority Leader Schumer!!!" but then he turns around and supports a Republican for Senate when every Democratic member counts.

And it's even more galling because it's not even like it's the other Senator from his home state or even his region.

He will switch parties in exchange for next to nothing from McConnell

...but don't tell that to the Guardians of Discourse on here, who'd much rather attack people who might be slightly to the left for even the most milquetoast, mild criticisms of anyone in the Democratic party.

Incidentally, he was also the only so-called Dem to vote for Rapey Brett. Sexual assault enablers of a feather stick together.

Did any of his constituents seriously want him to weigh in on this? What a totally pointless move.

Blah blah blah

If anyone in West Virginia cares about Susan Collins, my guess is they hate her for not being conservative enough.

I dont get the value of this stunt.

Democratic voters concerned about civility and cooperation in the Senate?

I don't think it will work for her this time though

... but why would he try to stay in the minority? I don't see how it helps him at all.

too bad he is not throwing his hat in the ring.

Oh and oh yeah, "codswallop".

from Trump. Probably more than any others running.

You do stupid fucking things like endorse a far right Republican like Susan Collins..

I give him the big FFFFFFFFFFF!!!

"But but but but but one more vote!! But but but but winning back the Senate!!"

He. Just. Literally. Endorsed. Susan. Fucking. Collins.

We now understand the true worth of the apologies for a DINO.

You can't say what needs to be said. How is he a Democrat now?

Get the majority. And there is no chance of electing another Democratic senator in West Virginia.

Was it for ‘Clean coal’ subsidies?

Just so he not a lefty.

Not surprised here at all...

How on earth is reaching across the aisle to the right-wing fascists still a thing?

bring in the primary folk. Make him work and show his true nature.

Is he that valuable? He rarely ever votes with us. At least we would know who the enemy is.

no policy and no judges. Without him the ACA would be over ( my kid would be dead) for over a year, look at the Senate map for a dose of reality.

Maybe she might want to concentrate on her own district. I like her and want to see her win reelection and not face a primary.

it wasn't really the right place. Why not put it somewhere it would benefit the community; rather than the other way around. But hey, I don't live there and I hope she is able to work for her constituents and help steer the ship of state to the side of life.

This was posted before. Without Manchin vote the ACA would be gone. This is deceptive. You left off the date. Check out the Senate map..no chance at majority without senators like Manchin.

he could have not endorsed anyone. He is a puke plain and simple.
