lol @manchin endorsing Trump he only said to win reelection. The next democratic presidential candidate could be Icespear and Manchin would still endorse him.
LOL
Luckily, judging from Manchin's victory speech, he's going to vote like Elizabeth Warren for the next 6 years. Massive FF!
While I haven't had a chance to absorb all the maps, Manchin's is the funniest so far. If you were to try to create an urban-rural divide in WV, Manchin dominated the urban(modern) while getting smoked in rural WV. Sure it's not perfect, he did win the rotting carcass of McDowell county by a few votes, but he actually won "suburban" Putnam and did better than I expected in Berkeley. If Manchin wanted to do something for WV he'd be best to try to help modern WV and let the rest of it go.
He's already on record as saying Trump letting Sessions go was a huge mistake (as if Trump doesn't make those on an daily/hourly basis) , so he's doesn't seem real likely.
Webb doesn't seem really relevant to anything anymore. He views himself as the great defender of the Scot-Irish while really not doing all that well with them the one time he got elected. I actually wonder what his name recognition is in Virginia much less beyond.
Speaking of irrelevant rotting corpses, Joe Lieberman
Henry Who?
Manchin definitely had the most "interesting" coalition of any Senate Democrat, that's for sure. The map was utterly bizarre.
It's especially ironic to see rural, #populist, West Virginians come out in droves to support Morrissey, a guy from a "coastal elitist" state like New Jersey.
