1. Glad Manchin is winning

Obviously, he's not a great Democrat, but voting against Trump 60-70% of the time is better than 0-10% of the time.

2. That's amazing!

3. Good! We need every Democratic win we can get

[RockRaven]

4. Having a majority is more important than how much we like or dislike any particular Dem.

In light of this, I'm very glad he's ahead.

5. You are right, and it seems some fail to grasp that, and how important having the majority is

in the Senate and House. The majority sets the agenda

6. Bet that makes Morrissey sad

7. Good deal. Hold on to it and go higher! eom

8. he's a Conservative - But being conservative never forced him

To become a fascist sympathizer.

I'll take 2/3 of my ideal politician - about what I expect from Manchin - compared to any Republican currently running

9. Huge. His opponent is against this.

Manchin on board with Keep Families Together Act

The differences are not minor.

10. Manchin's opponent, Patrick Morrisey,

used to lobby for the opioid drug distributors. Manchin's commercials (and ads by Manchin supporting PACs) are really hitting on the fact, as well as the fact that Morrisey was born in New York, unsuccessfully ran for office in New Jersey, and then moved here to run for office after his lobbying career in DC. West Virginians hate carpetbaggers!
