Why would "moderate" Democrats join the Repubs in voting for Gorsuch?

DINO's like Sen. Joe Manchin might be "likely to join" the 52 Republicans in voting for right-wing ideologue Gorsuch, but Manchin is certainly NOT a "moderate Democrat."

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch is a "fine individual, a very good human being" and that he's open to voting for him.
