115. I explain Manchin as somebody who just added his consent to Gorsuch's

Supreme Court bid. I think I'd rather have some idea of who is actually on our side, than to fill seats with people who are going to screw their constituents at that level. That isn't an example of compromising progressive ideals in order to cater to the needs of the people in his state. It is throwing them to the wolves.

What's he good for, and why would you simply assume we can't get someone else if we actually put money into progressive ideas and build up actual progressive reservoirs in these states? If we don't even get these ideas to people, of course they're going to keep thinking they're commie pinko liberal nanny-state blah blah blah...we need actual outreach, and having our local party and its leaders represent those values is kind of how you push things in that direction.
