On the radio in WV today heard three consecutive

[doc03]

rightwing ads encouraging Joe Manchin to opose the president and Democrats. There was one wanting him to support more restrictive voting laws. There was another telling him to
not support the Green New Deal or Medicare for all. Then another telling him to support the filibuster.

1. Think it will convince him ?

Does he need convincing?

✌🏻

[StClone]

2. Righties, Cons, Billionaires are work'n that mojo

Will it work again as it did since Reagan's success.

[doc03]

3. Where are the ads asking Joe Manchin to support

the infrastructure and jobs bill?

[slumcamper]

4. Interesting, doc. wondering if your takeaway from this the same as mine?

What's your inference from this?

BTW, the same dynamic is at play here in Iowa, and has been for several years.

[doc03]

6. My takeaway is the big money Republicans are

targeting him because he can shut down the entire Democratic administration himself. I was going to add something else about who may be sponsoring the ads
but can't do it without breaking the rules.

5. 70% of his constituents are Trumpers.

He's never going to vote like Bernie.

[DURHAM D]

7. Joe is probably paying for the ads.

He is the Republican that he is.

[doc03]

9. +1. I was thinking along those lines myself.

[Backseat Driver]

10. I hope you mean Manchin, not the current one, still....

Just previous to your 30K-th post....

[Claire Oh Nette]

8. Which stations?

Paid for by what organizations?

Probably not the WV Democratic party.

Will be @ Glade Springs, then Parkersburg, then Oak Hill next week, visiting vaccinated folks and getting a golf lesson from my Pop.

Half my fam there are educated professionals--teachers, accountants, and vaccinated democrats. But every family's got their ignoramus, literalist, 1,000 mile stare, Christianist anti-vax, anti-science in-laws full of fake radical republican religiosity and a fox news level insight into all things. We hate her. Her son, my brother's stepson, is at Liberty Law School. Seems to have learned as first year that talking out of his ass isn't sufficient, and he needs proof.

BTW, he's learning mostly about real estate law. Liberty is a real estate investment trust with an on line law program.... Lawyerin' for the Lawd!

Sigh...

11. I was listening to 1600 WKKX in Wheeling sorry was driving

can't really remember the names of the sponsors. Just three different ones with non political sounding names. Like West Viginians for this or that. They all used quotes Manchin has made about the subjects now and in the past.
