Jenkins would have done a lot better. Jenkins isn’t a carpetbagger like Morrissey is, and he would make it significantly harder for Manchin to run up the scorew where he needs to (Southern WV)
I agree

But the whole WV party structure backed him. Why?
It seems Morrissey has the stupid GOP TENDENCY to fool with Social Security and Medicare. I think all wages should be subject to SS AND Medicare taxes. But I also think there has to be some reform or the system will collapse. But I figure I do not want to be hit by Democrats for trying to reform. We always loose. Just let it collapse, then reform. Or maybe it won’t collapse. Republicans should stay away from this issue. Jenkins understood this I think.
Then there is Cruz backing Morrisssey. If Cruz is backing him, you know he is probably too conservative for WV.
Capito must know Morrissey is too conservative and a carpetbagger. I do not know why she went along with him.
Also, Morrissey’s personality reminds me of a mouse.
But I would still support the mouse.
