Maybe. WV's paltry 4 ev's in a tight election could be cruical. Manchin could deny Trump those votes.

I don’t think he could draw enough votes to tilt things to the Rat. He certainly isn’t going to draw enough to win.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Trump would win KY by 25 pts, and Manchin won’t pull that much.

Manchin will take votes from the middle, votes which could otherwise go Republican.
The kind of split we'd hope to see among Democrats is in their left-wing base, for example, radicals who don't think Democrats are obsequious enough to them and stay home or vote for a socialist candidate.
