46. You're missing the point

Feb 2017

Manchin is going to lose in 2018. The Republicans will run a Trumpster and he will wipe the floor with Manchin. Trump beat Hillary by 40 flippin percent. He outperformed Romney by 15 points. The people saying "We're such realists and adults because we understand that sometimes you have to compromise to win" are living in the ultimate fantasy world . . . the one where Manchin has a snowball's chance in he'll in 2018.

Manchin had a chance to stand for something before the inevitable happens in 2018 and he stood for a racist MF named Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.
