I think it speaks more to the Hawaiian senator's skills as a politician... NurseJackie Jan 2019 #16

Maybe they should give Bob Menendez some lessons. progressoid Jan 2019 #17

In the same way that Vermont-style politics doesn't play well in West Virginia... NurseJackie Jan 2019 #18

Don't bring West Virginia into this. progressoid Jan 2019 #24

Actually I wasn't talking about Manchin. The point you're missing is that politics are regional and... NurseJackie Jan 2019 #27

Perhaps you should have started regional politics instead of race. progressoid Jan 2019 #28

You know perfectly well it was about regional politics... NurseJackie Jan 2019 #29

Nope. progressoid Jan 2019 #30

Wrong again. NurseJackie Jan 2019 #31
