He's not as hated as someone like Tennant because he's actually going to win his election for his party, and spine or not, he did end up signing the gun bills.
And say what he wants, his state did expand Medicaid and did their own exchange, so I assume that's why everyone blows off his stance on the ACA. Just like everyone blows off his position on recreational marijuana legalization.
So people didn't actually care about what Tennant said, they just cared that she was losing while saying it? That doesn't really make sense to me. I didn't particularly care about her comments since she's in West Virginia and Manchin basically did the same thing in 2010 (and nobody seemed to care then), but Atlas's thread on the subject would make you think she was Satan incarnate. I didn't particularly care about Hickenlooper's gun comments either, but combined with this one it seems as if it's becoming a trend.
I meant that people gave Manchin the slide since he could actually win. People give Hickenlooper an excuse because he actually has a shot at winning the race and he signed the liberal laws that came out of the legislature, even if he didn't believe in those principles.
What I meant is I think that people got mad at Tennant for this reason as an excuse because she's employing the same tactics and is crashing and burning.
