    No, they want a conservative Democrat based on the near-supermajority support for a Republican candidate in their most recent Senate election. Is Manchin always reliable? No, but he votes with the party more than any Republican Senator. He isn’t getting replaced with a progressive Democrat and the real delusion is thinking that’s a possibility.

      Yeah. I don’t believe that. At all. Thats not how rural districts or states work. Its a line that D’s have been parroting for decades but which has no basis in reality.
