Look at it from the NRA's point of view. Their claim is that they are a single issue organization. Their policy is to endorse incumbents with the best Second Amendment record. I remember all the RINOs all over the country who screwed the Second Amendment. All I want from the NRA is to protect the Second Amendment. Manchin just blew off his own foot to appease the party apparatchiks and the Brady bunch.
First time they endorsed this POS, he was running for an open seat. He wasn't an incumbent, there was no incumbent. Bobby "Kleagle" Byrd had croaked.
All I want from the NRA is to protect the Second Amendment.
They should learn from this fiasco. I wonder if Chris Cox has the wit, and the humility to do so.
