I`m from West Virginia and Manchin knows he`s in deep trouble in 2018. Joe cares about Joe and nothing else.
Can our feckless WV Republican Party come up with a good candidate this time? John Raese was a nice guy, but didn’t know how to run a campaign at all. And what the hell was up with Bill Cole? Great senator; no clue how to run a statewide campaign.
I am not so sure... West Virginia elected Manchin even after he co wrote the major democratic gun grab legislation. Maybe now since they rid themselves of union slavery, there might be hope. Just not likely considering their voting history.
