I think it is interesting to contrast what happened then and now. These people are now Trump supporters.
They are militant and they are for Trump.
Thank you, for asking! I was wondering that as well. LOL
That is my guage as well.
The problem is that if Manchin feels he may lose, then he will vote with his party on kavenaugh as a final FU. Keep will only vote for kav if he feels it will help him win.
Good thing he’ll have to make that decision/vote BEFORE the midterms :-)
We attended a Trump rally in West Palm Beach in October, 2016. It was the most fun wed had in years, and as you said, so good for the soul!! The ability to scream at the top of our lungs, Lock her Up!!! and USA! USA!, 10,000 strong, was cleansing. We took a selfie of ourselves with the huge TRUMP banner behind us and had a mug made with it. Oh, I hope he comes back here again.
Got tix but glad I didnt go... publish start time of 4. Trump took stage at 7. Debated going but glad I just watched in the old interweb
Manchin read th tea leaves a while ago.. he probably is the most likely of the red state Dems to survive... but end of the day hell likely lose..
Especially if he goes no on Kavanaugh
Otherwise, he will vote no and see where the chips fall on election day.
Honestly He will only vote no if he knows he will lose..
Happened to talk to a small grocery store owner in Wheeling.
He told me while a July youth baseball tourney brings him a nice bounce in customers, this MAGA rally puts those numbers to shame.
Anytime a town of 28,000 attracts a crowd of around 6,000 people, you’re talking A Big Deal.
As someone else pointed out, the Wheeling area has had strong unions for years. RINOs like Kasich and DEMs like Obama opened the door for Mr. Trump, and he’s blown right through it.
After he got involved in firearms legislation as his first action as a senator he’s dead to lots of West Virginians. Add that his daughter jacked up the price of EpiPens and many want Joe to go.
I was in the Carpenter Union in 1980 and they really went crazy the day after Reagan was elected.
The Union leadership stopped pushing their militancy once they found out how many members voted for Reagan.
Teachers make Democrats and Democrats make Republicans

How did they find out how many voted for Reagan?
Just curious...as, it would seem members tend to be tight lipped, about voting for the ‘opposition’, to their bosses. Kneecaps, and all.
