He was up by about 11 at one point
That he is over 50% is the most important thing
I will admit I donated money to him a few times in September and will likely one more time; along with Heitkamp, Tester, Rosen (this race is becoming disturbingly questionable), Nelson, Casey as well as Senate candidates in Tennessee, Arizona and Texas

I have been impressed at how much information I've been getting from both Heitkamp and Munchin after donating. I have heard back little from Tester or Casey which surprises me

Unless you have reason to back it up, you're just speculating based on no proof.

with no warning whatsoever. I don't trust Manchin. He sounds more like a Republican than a Democrat. Just my opinion and I'm entitled to it, just like you're entitled to yours.

I suppose you don't know if you don't try, but this is a race where he's been comfortably ahead for a long time, so whatever he's doing is working.

when he voted to confirm Kavanaugh.. I'm glad I don't have to vote for him. It would be a severe breach of my conscience and I'm not sure I could do it. He is supporting evil.

but we need him to win to have a majority. Who runs the Senate matters for committees and what bills come up, even if Manchin often votes with the Republicans.
Also, if he changes Parties, he will probably be primaries by a more conservative Repuke.
Repug votes are now very, very radical right.
