Capito needs to be primaried out. It is a travesty that West Virginia are sending such slime like Manchin and Capito.
West “by God” Virginia can do much, much better.
Manchin is gone this year. Republicans will, in May, get to choose Rep Alex Mooney or Gov Jim Justice as a candidate for Senate. The democrats will, of course, nominate at total pizza chit. I prefer Mooney on policy, but sending Jim Justice and his overweight canine “Baby Dog” to the Senate would be hilarious.

In addition, her son is a WV House chairman and is running for governor this year against conservative Morrissey.

Many here particularly the older voters remember Byrd’s lavish pork fondly but not realistically. They also remember that her father was a successful but corrupt GOP governor. Capito’s current Senate seniority puts her close to level of financial influence Byrd had in the Senate. (Maybe she’s there I haven’t checked Senate Seniority recently!) She plays that up, just like Manchin did. As long as the Senate is close in GOP vs Rat numbers she’ll work those angles and play GOP. I vote against her in the primary but in the general it’s typical WV corrupt & somewhat competent (GOP) vs corrupt & crazy (Rat). Her time to fall will come. The problem is she has two sons in the state legislature one running for Gov (in the primary!) waiting in the wings.
