Manchin just said the divide started when Dems passed ACA w/ "ONLY" 60 votes

[Demsrule86]

97. We live in a democracy under threat from Trump...who is a fascist at heart in

a center left country in my opinion. We need to at least hold onto our Senators and maybe just maybe take the Senate back and stop the Trump court packing...those are very important issues and primarying Manchin risks that effort. Swearengin who is similar to Sen.Sanders in ideology can not win an election in WVA...look at the results out of Montana this morning...consider that a centrist Democrat beat the Republican just last year for governor...had we run a candidate suitable for the state, we might have won.

As for you "presumption' talk, this is an website where we voice our opinions...all are welcome within TOS and calling people names is not by the way. I am so not sorry you objected to my opinion.

Also, I would like to say that if we lose in 18 add 20 (God forbid), it will be because of groups like Justice Democrats, Brand New Congress and WeWillReplaceYou.org who insist on attacking sitting Democratic elected instead of fighting Trump and the truly evil Republicans who would destroy our country.


"Swearengin has the backing of Brand New Congress, a group formed by former Bernie Sanders campaign staffers and volunteers to support primary opponents against Democrats and Republicans in 2018. She also has the support of Justice Democrats, a group whose mission statement is to run “congressional campaigns that lead to a progressive and un-bought congress in 2018” and WeWillReplaceYou.org, a group that says it is “dedicated to challenging establishment Democrats unwilling to resist Trump’s agenda.”
