It's a f*cking miracle we actually got a Democratic senator from one of the reddest of red states.

When the alternative is someone who will vote the Donnie/magat way pretty much 100% of the time, I'll take manchin and his tepid at best cooperation every time.

Put him in a blue state and hell no, I wouldn't support him. But West Virginia? Sure, I'll take what I can get.
