Plurality on a 3-way split ticket against weak or damaged candidates.

He’s not strong, not widely popular, not enough to call a slam dunk over Manchin.

Morrisey took 35.6 percent of the GOP primary vote, very dismal.

Of all voters in this GOP primary, 64.4 percent voted for other candidates. I'm not excited.

The numbers do not create confidence. Against Manchin, Morrisey is a weak candidate. He lacks what it takes to achieve a sure win for this US Senate seat.

I suppose the Manchin camp could not be happier.

Manchin is the senior Senator in WVA, a state full of corrupt democrats, and Manchin knows how to tide them along.

Manchin is a native son, Morrisey is from New Jersey and is branded as a carpetbagger in the minds of WVA voters.

I hope the President hits the democrats so hard on corruption that it will affect voters everywhere, that democrat voters will be ashamed and stay home and that GOP and independents will swarm to vote out democrats everywhere. I would like to see Morrisey win but I force myself to see reality and reality is not looking good for WVA.
