When you scratch the surface, Manchin always was and always will be a Democrat whose hands are tied in a Republican state from doing wildly progressive things. West Virginia needs to get rid of him. A Republican senator replacing him will avoid all the drama of whether he will be voting with the Republicans or Democrats on the really important fiscal issues.
I agree and I’m sick of him
Voters there are largely dumber than a box of rocks. WV has similiar proprietary politics like Kentucky. They still think it is 1935 and they want both guns AND food stamps.
