And Manchin has voted for every one Biden’s judges and every Dem bill

He’s the only person in this world that can be democrat in West Virginia

Hes suppose to play to his voting base

The crazy thing is that WV was solidly Dem in many ways until relatively recently.

For years, Jay Rockefeller and Robert Byrd were easily winning reelection to the senate. Byrd died in 2010 when Manchin was Governor (imagine that: two dem senators AND a dem governor in WV). Manchin filled the seat with a temporary replacement and then ran to get elected to the seat. Rockefeller retired in 2014.

WV was also reliably democrat in presidential elections until 2000, and it was competitive until 2012 (when Romney trounced Obama 62-35). WV was carried by Jimmy Carter in 1980 and by Michael Dukakis in 1988. "Liberal," wimpy, Mike Dukakis of Massachusetts!

No lie, I'd damn near be willing to sacrifice control of the house just to see Boebert and Lake both lose. I'm not even convinced Herschel knows what the Senate is, so him losing would be nice, but not as delicious as seeing them two crash and burn.




I feel the sentiment. I hate both these whores with a passion especially since they was heckling Biden while he was talking about his deceased son during the SOTU.
