They and their silly excuses for him never sleep.

Be thankful for what you've got. All this hatred for Manchin is absurd. It's always better to focus on the things that are possible than to get bogged down being obsessed with the impossible. Everyone will be much happier when they realize that a Vermont-style politician will NEVER be elected in West Virginia. He's as good as we're going to get.

Are there any vulnerable REPUBLICAN Senators that you'd like to weaken and replace with Democrats? Attack them instead. Weaken them instead. Flip their seat instead. It serves no good purpose to kneecap and weaken Manchin among his own constituents.
