We need to figure out an effective way to get Manchin out (assuming he doesn't surrender)

I've got it

He endorsed Clinton, right?

Take the line where she said "I'll put coal miners out of business", and associate it with Manchin

Also maybe the flip flops on pro-life and pro-choice

He refused to endorse Obama in 2012 but idk about 2016.

yeah, can't find an endorsement for the life of me, let me keep digging

Alright, I've found something that can be used

So does Manchin have any real hope of holding on to his seat? I don't see how. I work with a lot of people from West Virginia and Trump is crazy Popular there. If Trump campaigns for the GOP nominee I don't think he will have a chance

sure,

but

remember, he won with 60%+ of the vote last time

We need to figure out how to also deal with the teacher strike because this will also hurt our chances if it backfired on the Republicans

@Rogal Dorn Do you think Manchin will capitalize on that?

I can see him doing that a lot of Dems are using it to push their agendas

*, a lot of

They are protesting because there was a increase in the charges on their health insurance that from what I heard barely covers shit to begin with

@Deleted User

Kids have been out of school for 2 and a half weeks

Yep.

Wasn't that old news?

Jenkins, from what I've seen, is an amazing candidate.

Yeah but someone asked

Manchin losing his own fucking primary would be the funniest thing ever.

And to a leftard no less

Absolute humiliation

Dude would lose to a loser

Cenk is a cuck, he got what was coming.

<@&417407302526828544> Do you want me to add anything

Can anyone see that?

<@&417407302526828544>

What are people you know in real life saying about the primaries

<@&417407302526828544> Can you ask the people you know in real life what they think about Joe Manchin ? Let us know what they think

It's not over til it's over @Deleted User @FLanon

AAAAAAAAAA

WHU

“Candidates affiliated with a recognized political party who run for election in a primary election and who lose the nomination cannot change her or his voter registration to a minor party organization/unaffiliated candidate to take advantage of the later filing deadlines and have their name on the subsequent general election ballot,”
-WV Secretary of State

He legally cannot run in this elecion.

That's good.

But he's got money...

The most he can do is lash out at both parties, but he can't become a spoiler.

Well, good for him then.

I'm worried of some bizzare scenario where Don uses his massive stacks of cash to circumvent the law and Drew Millers this whole election.

Well, I wouldn't imagine it'd work

Yeah, but paranoia and all.

Remember, Trump can shoot down the man's entire canpaign with a single tweet

Blankenship is a former political prisoner of the Obama Administration.

I doubt he can run with money.

Manchin should just switch parties at this point

Manchin is so two-faced

When it comes to a real, narrow vote

Manchin votes left.

100% of the time

Sometimes he'll vote for the GOP when the margin is under 20 or something

But if the margin is within like

0-3

Manchin will let Pence issue a tie-breaking vote.

Or he'll cast the deciding "No" himself

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/394933-manchin-warns-trump-against-picking-court-nominee-who-will-overturn-roe-v - despite being a self-proclaimed "pro-lifer", he urged Trump to select a centrist so that Roe v Wade wouldn't be repealed.

<@&417407302526828544> Good arguments against Manchin.

They call it a fine line; I call it a flip-flop.

Don't forget that Manchin promised to repeal Obamacare, then betrayed his promise.

Yep.

@Nuke He's made flip flopping an art.

I don't trust him a bit to keep his promise on the wall OR voting Trump in 2020.

"Too liberal for the Democratic Party, too conservative for West Virginia"

>every fucking time he could make a difference as a Democrat swing vote, he sticks with the party

He basically doesn't vote with the Republicans unless he's a non-deciding vote.

It's actually at such a level that it seems strategic.

https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=115&session=2&vote=00134

Now look at this vote to cut $15B in spending

Could've passed if he defected, but no, Collins voted no so he used that as a justification to vote no himself.

But if he only voted Republican when it's passing, it would be confusing to many.

So he votes Republican when measures fail by fairly large margins as well.

In addition, he goes a bit farther.

Whenever a vote passes perfectly along party lines, Manchin votes no.

Manchin is almost always, if not always, accompanied by other Democrats when he votes.

So when Trump passed tax reform, Manchin stood with the Democrats just to pile on a "No Democrat voted for it. Total party line vote" talking point to use as ammo for his campaign, rather than doing bipartisan outreach.

Then there's several other votes with stuff like contractual law, appointments, and so on where they've been inoffensive enough that the Democrats haven't filibustered them--which effectively means unanimous consent to holding a vote on Republican legislation--and he's sent it to Pence's desk just to hurt the GOP more.

this is my pasta from above in regards to Manchin and his daughter Heather Bresch, CEO of Mylan Pharmaceuticals

we could try to throw some dirt on him
his daughter runs Mylan Pharma
and they just left the state to outsource
they were founded in Motown
had a huge plant in motown they just shut down
to hire pajeets instead
and she jacked the epipen price way up
plus she only got the job cuz of her dad
she didnt even actually finish her degree
her name is Heather Bresch
shes got all kinds of skeletons
also they might have been included in the recent opiod indictments
ill have to dig on that account
if so that is a huge issue we could push
wv is one of the worst opiod pill states there is
if we could link opiod indictments to the daughter of manchin through her company that just fled the state, we might have something

@herm-3x-gr8 Opioid connections is definitely an area to attack Manchin.

the mylan connection is big for a few reasons
