It was New Jersey. The guy who moved was hedge fund billlionaire David Tepper. Do a search on his name and you’ll find plenty of articles from early 2016 about his move to Florida.

It is time for that Senate seat to become Republican.

That’s wonderful, but I know there was another example from a different State. I read it right here on FR some time ago.

I would have remembered of it was just New Jersey.

My Father was from Jersey and I have other Relatives living there. I would have called and given them some grief just for fun, which I may do anyway.

The more the Merrier! LOL

Then it could be CT, because I know they have a similar issue with a small number of taxpayers paying a huge chunk of their income tax revenue.

It has to be a real Republican, not an undocumented Democrat in an R jersey like their other Senator Capito.

Patrick Morrisey is the conservative.

Jenkins is who Mitch McConnell wants.

The creep is ashamed of his Italian heritage; changed his name from Mancini to Manchin.

“The creep is ashamed of his Italian heritage; changed his name from Mancini to Manchin.”

Mancini is a MUCH classier name——(and I was a big fan of Henry Mancini).

He probably could have switched parties before the vote, but not now.

Even better would be moving to a red state!

“If Manchin likes the Senate he should consider flipping.IIRC DJT carried WV by something like 60-35. “

I would be good with Manchin changing parties. This would be a good time for him to hold a major press conference and say what the Democrats did he can longer support. “It looks like the Democrats are going the way of the Socialists and in good conscious cannot be part of it. Therefore as of today I am changing parties and supporting the Trump agenda. “

Senators were once elected by, and worked for, their states. Today, they are elected by the people, but work for their political party.

This is spot on truth!

Trump still has high approval ratings in West Virginia, a state he won over Democrat Hillary Clinton by nearly 42 percentage points.

OK, so Trump squeaked by...

One passable candidate. One Trump appearance at a campaign rally in WV. One. Watch it and see.

[Who the hell is this Joe Manchin guy? Chuck Shumer is the Senior Senator from West Virginia. That should be crystal clear to WV voters by now.]

Excellent campaign narrative.

Met him earlier this year at the NSJ. He’s a nice guy. I’m from Texas but was on the federal task force. Trump certainly knows him. Both he and the governor and Trump were right along side each other at the airport in Beckley. Met Manchin too in 2013...But I surely hope Morrisey wins, he was a real nice guy.
