Because a liberal democrat would be utterly crushed by a generic republican in a Trump +42 state? Who would have thought!

I mean, this is the reason why a True Progressive would lose badly, but maybe crushing a token leftist would show West Virginians that Manchin is "one of the good ones".

Irrelevant.

West Virginia also had a choice of Republican and Republican-lite in their gubernatorial election in 2016, and they chose the latter by a pretty decent margin.

Sounds like your proud to have a corporatist like Joe Manchin in office. Sadly for you he will not be in their for much longer.

Neat diversion tactic. Why did a literal ex-Republican Jim Justice win the governor's race in 2016, and why doesn't that mean Manchin can win again?

And no, I do not like Joe Manchin, but I'd rather be a majority party than the alternative.
