WV-SEN 2018: Haunted Manchin

[Pericles]

Manchin is favoured but it could be tougher than in 2010 and 2012 and he may lose.

Jenkins has a new ad out, trying to make the Senate race about Hillary Clinton and throwing in some strong dog-whistles in there too and how liberals will 'take our guns'.

This primary is a joke, what a bunch of clowns.

Blankenship knows how to appeal to the crazies.

While I want Manchin to shift to the left, there's nothing wrong with that tweet, the miners need their pensions paid and legislation good for WV needs to get passed regardless of who is President.

I had a dream last night that I was watching Manchin and Morrissey debate. The first question was, “what do the letters DT stand for to you?” Morrissey said Donald Trump, Manchin said “dat thing” and then started breakdancing as the audience cheered.

In summation, this race is safe D.

Honestly this aged pretty well

Not really, Manchin survived by the skin of his teeth.

People need to apologize for mocking you over your concerns about Manchin. It was indeed close, and Jenkins probably would have beaten him.

I know the state fairly well for never having even been there, starting in the spring, I researched WV for hours on end almost every day until the race was called for Manchin.

That is dedication. At least Manchin and Tester survived. It's unfortunate we can't say the same for Heitkamp, McCaskill, Donnelly, and Nelson.

Yeah, at least Nelson's replacement is not total trash, but yeah, I am disappointed to some extent. The whole WV situation just fascinates and baffles me.

Tbh Medicare fraudster and serial liar Rick Scott seems like total trash to me.

D+1

I could see Swearengin getting 1 vote, sure.

Manchin still won though, and outrunning Hillary Clinton by 45 points is legitimately impressive, even if he didn't outrun her by 50 points or 55 points.
