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.
We get a lot of Manchin TV commercials here in SW Pennsylvania and if those represent the type of politician Manchin is (surely they do; he approved them), then he’s as much of a hate-filled lying cockroach as any Democrat is.
Morrissey is far from the perfect candidate, but Manchin’s faux-moderate pose is highly annoying and I hope he goes down in flames on Tuesday along with Heitkamp, Donnelly, Tester, Clare the Cadaver, Nelson, the dyke from Arizona, etc. Not ONE of them has a single positive thing to run on, and it shows.
Now if only we in PA could get rid of our empty suit Senator with the room temperature IQ, but that’s a very long shot.
Montana was interesting yesterday when Libertarian Senatorial candidate withdrew and threw his support to Republican Rosendale. Not sure if that is what we want in WV...
I voted for Morrisey yesterday. When these guys get to DC they will vote with the party. That’s what I expect. Manchin votes with the party (Democrats). Not what I want.
I was disappointed with Morrisey too. All this hard work to replace someone who votes with us more than any other dem to replace him with an unknown factor.
Too bad about Morrisey. It’s always vital that R’s put up a competent vote-getter candidate against an incumbent Democrat.
What is with these blue states? What is with Florida!? That is the real shocker. WHO is Florida, now days? I don’t get these polls delivering Gillum as being even close.
