I think Manchin wins again. He acts republican to get elected and he’s did it for years. He says he’s Pro-Life, but he’s not, he says he’s for the 2nd Amendment, but he’s not. He claims he’s for marriage, but ran and hid when it was time to vote for it. He was elected to the senate saying he was against Obamacare, with a campaign ad show him using an Obamacare poster for target practice. He’s elected then votes to fund it. But the voters like him because they consider him a good ole boy, one of them. He’s from WV. Morrisey is a carpetbagger born in NYC and raised in New Jersey. Watch Manchin to be sent right back to the senate.
Yep, that’s how I see it too.
If Obama’s ‘War on Coal’ hadn’t targeted and damaged coal mining company boss and republican Blankenship, Manchin would have another native son to go up against, one who is smarter business-wise than the rest of the field put together.
But Obama’s people railroaded him and hung him on a fake misdemeanor. Now he’s FUBAR for this go around at least. It’s telling, Blankenship beat all three felony charges yet those who listen or view the liar media including posters here on FR call Blankenship a convicted ‘felon’. Disinformation is still a potent weapon.
It’s shame WVA can’t get a strong clean native son or daughter to go up against weasels like Manchin. The tragedy is in the GOP. But my research reveals there are generational angst and hostility of WVA voters against anything republican. They elected Trump because Trump is not of the establishment republican mold, he’s an outsider and WVA voters, even democrats, couldn’t stand Hillary or Sanders.
There is hope however. If the Trump Administration can succeed in nailing corrupt democrats to the wall, democrat voters everywhere can be shamed into staying home. Low turnout gives candidates like Morrisey a chance to win.
