I see every vote to acquit tying that individual to the future behavior and success or failure of Trump. If Trump is well liked in WVa in 2024, then Manchin is out on his ear anyway.

I am hoping every no vote is like being shackled to a corpse.

It doesn't matter. He will claim it no matter what. And we need a senate majority. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #40

He can't claim "Bipartisan" lapfog_1 Jan 2020 #42
