That was double the money Republican John McCain collected.

Hey Mustang Driver,
West Virginia had a chance to take a stand against obammy and his destruction of Coal. They voted for Manchin anyway.
The stupids of W.Va. voted against their own interests and there ain’t no jobs but coal in W.Va. and a little bit of tourism.
Good job there guys, keep voting for them dems ya stoopids.
As P.J. O’Rourke famously quipped, “liberalism is Communism served by the drink.”
