Manchin is really a progressive lib. He votes just enough on the conservative side to get re-elected. He barely won re-election 4 yours ago. His votes for Biden administration policies has really pissed off West Virginia voters. He will not be re-elected regardless of any deal he made with Chuck Schummer. He is political dead meat unless he switches parties and even then his next election is not a sure bet in the primary.
He is a snake.
I like your optimism, but you sound like the people that tried to tell me Murkowski was going to lose.
I never had any doubt she would win. Alaska is purple at best anymore.
He is Evan Bayh. Talks a good game at home but always votes with the left when they want him to.
