Moore was twice removed from office forcibly for unethical behavior and using a judicial position for pure vanity politics. He had serious baggage even without those accusations. He would have continued the same behavior in the Senate with the vanity politics and undermined everything just to draw attention to himself if history was any guide and obviously someone with that history isn’t the best candidate to present to the voters...and the results proved that to be correct. Either Brooks or Strange would have easily held the seat in a landslide. Now it is a liberal Democrat seat.
Manchin is poised to lose in a landslide - so why nominate the only candidate that could allow him to keep the seat in Dem hands? How does that make a bit of sense?
No he wasn't. He was removed because he told Federal Judge Diktator tyrants to go F*** themselves. That's the main thing I liked about him.

Strange would have been toppled by charges of corruption and collusion with the Governor (kicked out of office) in a manner of Rod Blagojevich in Illinois.
Strange would have been hammered with corruption accusations, and they would have got him.
Brooks would have likely held it in a landslide, and so too would have Moore absent the accusations, and he would have won it as a squeaker if the Republican party had not deliberately stabbed him in the back.

I have put forth no opinion expressing a preference for any of the WV candidates. I see problems with all of them.
We need to sort out all the behind the scenes antics going on ASAP.
