IIRC an old maxim is any incumbent who is polling lower than 50% is in serious trouble.
The old democrat trick, put up a ringer to split the opposition vote to your candidate by enough to let your guy win.
It’s looking likely.
Traditionally the libertarian vote goes down to 2% or less on election day. Most of those votes will go to Donnelly.
Manchin is the ONLY red state democrat senator who may survive...
Its the race I will be watching next Tuesday. If Manchin goes down, no other Red State Democratic Senator is going hold, period.
Honestly, had the GOP put up someone more capable than Morrisey, I’d say Manchin goes down... but since Morrisey is so, so, so weak and not ready for prime time, Manchin may indeed hold on, because the ONLY thing that is going to take out Manchin with Morrisey as the opponent, is the sheer national momentum for the GOP... And if the momentum is such that Morrisey wins, then the momentum for the GOP is so great that a LOT of very weak R’s are going to win...
Meaning that the House will solidly hold.. and the open seat contests for the nearly 40 GOP candidates will break overhelmingly in their favor.
Fire Manchin! If he isn’t for us, he is against us. As a Democrat he helps Schumer!
The libertarian is obviously the spoiler.
Who supports coal the most?
Manchin has a record as a Friend of Coal. What has he done lately?
Who has the greater pull...... Dow/dupont or the nonunion miners?
If Trump’s coattails continue from 2016, Morrisey should win. We just don’t know yet if Trump will be able to drag the weak GOP candidates over the line. Trump is certainly putting in the time and effort to make it happen.
“Rusty Hollen”. LOL! Good name for a senior dating website.
Looks to me like there’s a very good chance the libertarian will suck enough votes from the GOPe to hand victory to Manchin.
Is the libertarian party a secret extension of the democrats?
I’m no fan of the GOPe anymore, and I wish there were viable alternatives, but there aren’t.
This libertarian idiot needs to step off. He has no chance of winning, the only role he will play is to sink the GOPe candidate and therefore undermine the Trump agenda.
In West Virginia, where Trump won by a bigger margin than any other state.
Insane. Good going, libertarian idiots.
Eleven per cent for the Libertarian. Don’t believe it.
