Obviously, he's not a great Democrat, but voting against Trump 60-70% of the time is better than 0-10% of the time.

To become a fascist sympathizer.

I'll take 2/3 of my ideal politician - about what I expect from Manchin - compared to any Republican currently running

used to lobby for the opioid drug distributors. Manchin's commercials (and ads by Manchin supporting PACs) are really hitting on the fact, as well as the fact that Morrisey was born in New York, unsuccessfully ran for office in New Jersey, and then moved here to run for office after his lobbying career in DC. West Virginians hate carpetbaggers!
