Joe Manchin

What I saw was shameful.

You did not elect the comforter in chief. You elected a basically commander in chief, and he's hit the ground running.

They better figure out how they lost moderate, centrist, fiscally responsible, socially compassionate.

The greatest thing a person can have in life is the respect and dignity of a job, to take care of yourself and support your family.
