    In case anyone's forgotten, Joe Manchin's daughter Heather Bresch is the talentless flunky who somehow miraculously got hired by Mylan, the company that gouged consumers on the price of epi-pens (which cost just a few bucks to make) to $600, while the feds looked the other way. Despite faking her way through college and getting an undeserved MBA as a political favor to her dad (a scandal which got people fired at WVU), Mylan decided she was actually CEO material. Which, if you believe them, had NOTHING to do with the fact that Manchin was one of the nation's most influential senators.

    Democrats hate capitalism - unless it's good-old-fashioned crony capitalism, and as long as it pads their nest.

    Manchinhausen syndrome to get attention on herself. Not sick attention but made life sick for others in her path :P

    Corrupt and self-serving are good descriptors. His proximity to the WVU MBA controversy of '07 and EpiPen price hike last year raise some serious questions for me.

    As a former WV resident, I noticed most of the voting populous is fairly conservative, but have historically voted for dems because of their support for unions (coal miners) and federal assistance (high welfare, unfortunately).

    Beautiful State with some lingering issues, but it's good to see the political ship begin to righten (e.g. recent election results and constitutional carry as of May '16)

    A very close friend of 25 years lives in WV and has worked at Mylan there for probably the last decade. I have heard about the escapades through him many times and you are hitting the nail square on the head.

    Manchin is toast, everyone seems to know that except ol' Joe himself. He's pushing for "common sense gun control" now, says he thinks he can "work" with Trump on this...LOL Something tells me The Donald aint' gonna touch that one with a 10 foot pole, like everyone else Trump knows Manchin is history come next year. I can only guess that Joe is hoping to salvage some kind of "legacy" with this long shot legislation, but it's not likely to improve his chances of re-election in a state that went like what...87% for Trump..??

    “I don’t give a s---, you understand? I just don’t give a s---,” he said in an interview with Charleston Gazette Mail. “Don’t care if I get elected, don’t care if I get defeated, how about that? If they think because I’m up for election, that I can be wrangled into voting for s--- that I don’t like and can’t explain, they’re all crazy.”

    Joe flapping his lips.....

    I heard he was planning on running a 2A friendly platform this time. He also got the stink-eye from Schmucky Schumer when he tried to stand and clap for Trump at the SOTU last night. Guy flip-flops like a landed rainbow trout that hasn't been played out. His whole family is a bunch of shysters.

    It literally amazes me how far up Trump's butt Joe Manchin is. You'd think he was part of Trump's staff. It seems like Manchin is at every one of Trump's pressers.

    Where is the Dem blowback on this?

    Is Joe that close to losing his senate seat in WV?

    Whenever he is close to re-election, he acts like a conservative. That's fine with me. He has never been one of those way-out on the left dems.

    EDIT: Didn't realize this was an older thread.

    It's all good until crunch time, and the sleazeball votes with the party that pays his bills.

    WVa would be wise to dump him and get a real conservative, or at least an honest supporter of the 2A.

    Agreed. They just don't seem to be able to get that done. W.Va has always had an identity problem.

    Manchin is sounding more and more Republican everyday.

    We could use him in the senate come November.

    Hey, Joe. Walk towards the light.

    Joe Manchin is a weasel, a coward, and a turncoat. Like Italy in WW2, he's only interested in selling out to the winning side.

    He is NOT someone you want in your foxhole when the enemy is closing in, because he'd knife you in the back just so he could hide under your body.

    After last night's State of the Union, I wouldn't be surprised if WV erected Trump statues made of coal.
