IMO Feinstein cornered her and heckled her like they did with Flake.

IMO that is because they DON"T want you to defend yourself. Better in their eyes, that you just slink away, looking guilty. BUT IF YOU DO stand up and defend yourself, they bash you with "HOW Poor your attitude and demeanor" are.

Sarah Palin said she ready, tanned, and rested.

murkowski is a sore loser who got primiaried and ran against the person who primaried her as a write in vote in the general election.

I think that is the case and they should put in a Republican, pro legal prostitution candidate - they could win votes!

Manchin has set an example that Alaska voters should follow - innocent until proven guilty counts!

I think Manchin is a coward. Murkowski is an idiot

manchin

lets see, .....hmmm...

in 2016 trump wins wv by 68.5% to hellary's 26.4%

what is that, a 42.10% victory???

then trump follows through on his campaign promises and singlehandedly rescues the coal industry

the west virginian polls find 58% are in favor of kavanaugh

manchin, while facing re-election, no hero he, but hardly an idiot, waits until its clear kavanaugh will win appointment to the sc,

and then with the appropriate excuse to the dim masters that kavanaugh was going to win anyway

and the ability to tell west Virginians he voted for kavanaugh

he casts his meaningless vote

if he was truly brave, his "stalwart" stance wouldn't have been after the dust settled but before

and of course he would also leave the dim party

Rescues the coal industry ... HA. It’s a dying industry. But Trump kept it alive because ...
We’re losing mining jobs to China? Russia? Mexico? Nope, he was pandering.

I suggest you travel to Beckley WVa and spew your opinion on the cool industry and Trump. Good luck!

You mean like odumbo and hildebeest are always pandering to Tom Steyer and the environmental lobby for money and votes?

How long did odumbo stupidly hold up the Keystone XL pipeline? 6 years?

Trumpy issued the permits in his second month in office.

She voted against him because of very specific issues in her state, which she won as a freaking write-in candidate. Not sure anyone with a brain wants to try to primary her off again.

I think natural gas will triumph - it is plentiful and clean.

Trump made a mistake fighting for coal but I admire his loyalty to his base.

Plus, unemployment is now at the lowest in 50 years, so those coal miners can transition out of coal.

Oh, and the stock market has never been higher.

Trump also lowered taxes and gave us the most conservative court in my lifetime.

He renegotiated NAFTA and improved it.

I'd bet a lot of people are going to conclude he hasn't been nearly as bad as the liberals predicted.

Those coal miners could have transitioned to anything else by now.

They’re simply pawns in Twitler’s effort to win the heartland by the slimmest of margins.
