Outrage is the GOPs only real policy position, so no surprise to anyone who has had their eyes open for any significant part of the last decade.
To be fair, this is because it is Joe Manchin, not necessarily a reflection on anyone else. He is one of those Senators that is untouchable in his own state no matter what letter he puts after his name, because everyone there knows him and everyone trusts him. If Manchin ran for Governor then the Democrats would almost certainly be down a Senate seat, and that isn't worth it to get the governor of West Virginia.Trump has done so much for coal that Democratic Senator Manchin now beats coal exec incumbent Gov. Justice by 10 points in a recent local poll.
Looks like someone's getting a new Overseer.
