Every vote counts.

C’mon Manchin. Your party has been hijacked by radical thugs. Time to red pill.

I'm not a fan of his gun views. But in this light, the question should be asked/analysis should be performed:

When an important vote comes up, who you gonna call- Manchin or Collins or Murkowsky?

[Hostage]

Is he one of the red state dems that needs to tread lightly on this subject?

[centurion316]

Manchin will have to vote to confirm Kavanaugh unless the Democrats finds a get out of jail free card like evidence that Kavanaugh said that he doesn’t like Oprah. He won’t show his hand until after all of the hearing, but when he does it, 3 to 5 other Democrats will join him.

Joe, Joe, Joe. Dickie Durban says you're supposed to take one for the team here, even if it tanks your re-election.

Guess that rings hollow coming from a guy sitting in a safe seat, eh Joe?

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says Brett Kavanaugh has "all the right qualities" to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Manchin is running scared. I hope he comes through and supports Kavanaugh ...

but I'm still voting PATRICK MORRISEY FOR US SENATE!!!

[joma89]

Somehow Manchin is polling well in West Virginia. I trust the people of West Virginia do the right thing and vote him out, regardless of how he is trying to use the Supreme Court pick to get votes.

He has all the right qualities," Manchin said. "He's well-educated and, with that, we have to just look at making sure that the rule of law and the Constitution is going to be followed and that's going to basically preempt anything else he does."

That sounds like Manchin has already decided to vote for confirmation, it would be kind of difficult to say all of that and then add...but I'm voting to reject his nomination anyway.

Donald Trump is more popular today than he was when he won West Virginia by 40% in 2016.

He also has a proven ability to energize his supporters to go to the polls, and he’ll be holding many campaign rallies this fall — including in West Virginia if necessary to help the Republican Senatorial candidate there.

So does it make sense to assume that Joe Manchin can assure his re-election simply by voting for Brett Kavanaugh?

No, and that’s probably true of all the other Democrats running in Red states.

But the Democratic-controlled media must keep alive the myth that multiple Democratic Senators won’t lose in November — because if the possibility of a Democratic take-over of Congress is zero, how will the Democrats be able to continue to raise millions from Wall Street bankers and other fat cats fearful of being punished if the Democrats win?

So be prepared to be inundated with breathless speculations by the media about Heidi Heitkamp, John Manchin, etc., and their irrelevant intentions relative to voting on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination.

[FLT-bird]

I’m confident at least a few Democrat Senators are going to refuse to fall on their sword as ordered by Chuckles. He can huff and puff and all but 6 years is a long time and the Democrats need every vote in the Senate they can get so I don’t really think he’s got much leverage over those in Red States who are in tough re-election battles.

[Red Steel]

Yeah Manchin you better since Trump won West VA with a margin of 42%.

[Deplorable American1776]

I wonder if he was from NY or CA, if he would support K? I bet he said it because he is fighting for his political life.
