If we primary Joe Manchin, we'll have two Republican senators from West Virginia.

Manchin is holding a healthcare townhall in Huntington this Friday. I'm going, along with a large portion of Tri-State Indivisible and the West Virginia chapter of the Women's March. We are going to, respectfully, hold his feet to the fire on some of his recent votes, as well as loudly praise him for the good stuff he has done, like opposing and denouncing Betsy DeVos. We will remind him that he is a Democrat, and we expect him to act like one.

So . . . the rest of you, from reliably blue states . . . lay off. We got this!
