Definitely not. And it's largely thanks to one person who also happens to be from West Virginia.
- sudosysgen 4y agoIt's not one person. If Manchin wasn't there someone else would be the "one person". They're just happy to let Manchin take the fall since it doesn't hurt him politically. If it was a single person then the democrats would put enough pressure on him to yield - god knows they have the ability to do so. He is toxic enough to their party that it's preferable to have him replaced by a Republican in the long term.
