I wish we could count on a Republican replacing Manchin. Based on previous Republican candidates for Senate with the exception of Capito who was already in Congress, I have my doubts.
They seem to have a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
How about he switched to Republican and runs as a Republican in 2018?
The democrat party died.
Professional 'liberals' who felt they were soooooooo much smarter than members of their democrat base - killed the party. Today democrats represent the wishes and dream of corrupt Hollywood elites, white liberal 'elites' and the black and brown underclasses that prop them up.
Dems have created a 3rd world hellhole party...in a first world country. That's stupid. Dead.
The Democrat Party is dead.
