here's a question that I'm wondering how democrats will answer.
Would you have traded Manchin for Nelson?
On one hand, a senate seat is a senate seat. On the other hand, if you lose a seat like WV, then you don't have to worry about defending it anymore. In Florida, the headwinds are more neutral than in WV. Plus, the republicans would have little to be optimistic about in 2020. It's like - congratulations on making gains in deplorable places you probably should have won a long time ago!
No, because Florida will always be competitive but once Manchin loses WV is gone for good
