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.
