I do not believe Manchin would have been so outspoken against Trump unless he had taken the temperature of the folks back home. This *may* indicate that Trump has lost significant support in WV, and not just from their senator. Manchin loves his job too much to risk losing it.

I also believe, as a native WVian, that photos like the one recently released, demonstrating Trump's vanity, work powerfully against him in WV, where men who paint their faces are sissies and deserve contempt. "Sissies" not to mean gay, btw, just dandified with the kind of interest in their looks that only women are supposed to have.
