I’m guessing we will not see President Trump back in West Virginia before the vote.

And I'm guessing that's because President Trump struck a deal with him that he (Trump) wouldn't come back into WV if Manchin (Mancini) voted for Kavanaugh.

No deal was Struck for Kavanaughs vote... Manchin was ALWAYS going to vote yes, as long as the GOP hit 50 on their own...

No dem was going to be the deciding vote, but Manchin was ALWAYS a yes, as long as the GOP hit 50 on their own... There was no deal to strike here... Manchin knew he was dead with a no vote his State supported Kavanaugh by 80%.... He knew any shot at re-election was done if he voted no... So if the R’s didn’t have 50 he would vote no and take the golden parachute.. but as long as they got 50, he was a yes, and everyone knew it... so there was no deal to strike for his vote.

Sadly Morrissey is just a gawd awful candidate... horrible retail politician, particularly compared with Manchin.If Morrissey does win this it will PURELY be on the back of Anti D sentiment...
