Jeff Sessions was so openly racist that even Reagan couldn't appoint him.

3. He votes no on the first woman Native American Cabinet secretary, leadership needs to pull him

into the corner and set his ass down.

5. i sure did like him. When he would get up close they would shrink into a corner.

It was a thing of beauty.

7. Manchin is democratic senator in a very red state.

I once got bounced from DU for a message denigrating Joe Manchin, The truth is that he is a Democratic senator walking a very thin line. To retain his seat he has to appeal to all West Virginians, a state that Trump carried easily. Sometimes he will take a position opposite of the democratic party. Although I may disagree, I realize that he wants to be reelected, and I want him to be reelected The is no other Democrat in the state that can win an election as Senator. We love him, we hate him, but he is still a democrat. The alternative is two Republican Senators from West Virginia.

9. There are 49 other states. I'm sure if we spend some time and money in another state

we can pick up another Democratic Senator or 2. Republicans always carry WV, except for one time that that I remember off hand. Trump was not a fluke.

10. A vote on OMB director is not going to get anyone in WV riled up

he's just being a dick because he can.

11. The quickest way for Manchin to bring the most attention to voting with his party

is bringing this kind of media attention to it. IOW, shut the hell up and vote with your party and most illiterate GQPers will be none the wiser. He's going to be a pill the next 2 years trying to make the most of his unusual status.

12. He is pulling a Lieberman.
