In reply to the discussion: MoveOn is pulling funding from Sen Manchin, so I'm going to send him a donation. [View all]The phrase, cutting ones nose off to spite the face, pops up in my mind.
I'm in Tn, and love the fact that Beto is getting lotsa coverage. But we have a couple knife fights here that I'm worried about as well. I can only hope the "Taylor Swift" effect/affect(?) kicks in here for the Democrats running. I havent heard of any meaningful polls since she threw her hat in with us, other than that garbage poll of Blacburn %14 ahead (it was an outlier and an older poll) But I'm not one to base my hope on an unknown affect, and have been donating my time and money towards Bredesen.

If the people in WV want him they will support and vote for him. He's been in office since 2010

I love MoveOn, but they need some Dems from Red States in their leadership.

That covers only the period from 2017 - 2018 and proves that Manchin is doing well.

The point is that Manchin is FAR less likely to vote with Trump than would be predicted

The line we have INCLUDES him, and it's not enough. And looking good is not enough.

I get your point completely, but what vote is more important than a SCOTUS vote?
