What do WV Democrats do post-Manchin?

[OSR stands with Israel]

just wait, WV is not WY and after 15-20 years in the Wilderness the Democrats will make a comeback.

To give actual advice, They must keep playing the moderate card. Liberal candidates won't make the cut so the Democrat has to be moderate.

Joe Manchin's dw-nominate score:

-0.069

Robert Byrd's dw-nominate score:

 -0.298

Greater negative scores indicate a Senator being more liberal. So it seems that Byrd was more liberal than Manchin. It would almost seem like the fact that Democrats once used to run a monopoly in West Virginia had nothing to do with ideology but with identity.

It would almost seem like, and hear me out here, WV circa 2020 may be a wee bit different from WV circa 2006. A Democrat who doesn’t cultivate a moderate cozy-up-to-Trump persona will lose by double digits because enough of West Virginia has drunk the Trump Kool-Aid to reflexively vote them out. Manchin does not have the same freedom to be liberal that Byrd had in 2006.

If Byrd were running in 2018 and had voted against Kavanaugh he would have lost. Manchin made this calculation and survived.

Yah Gi Gen dominated WV and Boomer Dominated WV are like two different states entirely.

My prediction for 2020 for WV is a Republican sweep

Maintain a good organisation so if fluke circumstances like the Alabama or Massachusetts special Senate race arrive they are prepared to seize the opportunity and take the Senate seat for a few years.

All things considered, the WV and KY Democrats are probably the best Democratic State parties in the nation when you factor in their states’ leans. If you could transfer that competence to the FL and Texas Democratic Parties, imagine what the results could be.

The TX And FL GOP doesn’t have any people as bad as Matt Bevin heading their ticket and they have been in power so long in both those states cause they have done an absolutely fabulous job governing those states.


Just look at the direction CA and TX has taken since the mid/late 90s and now TX is the better of two states . When CA was the more Republican of the two at the state level which was true even from 1966-1998 , CA was the better governed state and was by far the best state in the Union .

I’m not arguing that California has become ungovernable. I think that’s largely a result of it just having gotten so big and attractive that it forces prices to go up everywhere, thus pricing people out. Texas doesn’t have that problem. If one suburb fills up with people, we got tons of empty land to develop a new suburb if needed. California cities don’t have that luxury.

California Zoning laws are also beyond terrible, and its a super high taxed state as well. Like California used to be so much better in comparision to the rest of the nation back in the 90s while now its not even the best state.
