Will Manchin's vote to confirm Kavanaugh save his seat?
By Rick Moran

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is in the political fight of his life as he seeks to win a second full term against Republican Attorney General Patrick Morrissey. Manchin, one of the most popular politicians of either party in the state's history, is ahead by only 4 points in the latest polls.

As popular as Manchin is, he has a monumental problem. Donald Trump carried West Virginia by 40 points in the 2016 election and remains hugely popular with a 58% approval rating in the state. The political winds are blowing hard against Manchin as the state, once a bastion of Democratic rule, turns deeper and deeper red.

So it was no suprise that Manchin came out in favor of confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Or was it? Two other red state Democratic senators in tight re-election races - North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp and Indiana's Joe Donnelly - both voted the Kavanaugh nomination down.

The pressure on Manchin to vote "no" from national Democrats and hysterical activists must have been overwhelming.

Getting even 1 dem vote must rankle, considering 0bama's desperate, failed attempts to get a single GOP vote for 0bamacare so he could trumpet it as "bipartisan"...

Is there a W Virginia voter who doesn't know that Manchin would've voted against Kavanaugh in a heartbeat if his was the vote denying him the appointment?

If so his opponent had better learn em.

Manchin will be beaten about the head and the neck with the entirety of his voting record (they're doing it now, POTUS, too).  Hopefully he'll be painted as an untrustworthy hypocrite.

Hopefully.
