I would think that Senator Manchin would have no pause and decide to vote NO

after seeing that Heidi Heitkamp's campaign contributions have gone through the roof since her NO vote intention.No doubt Minchin could expect the same reaction if he decided to vote NO against Kavanaugh

I posted a video of young girl at Manchin's office earlier today. She was 14 or 15 when she was sexually assaulted and only 17 maybe now. The video did show him call into his local office in WV where the protesters were and he was really rather dismissive to the women there. I didn't like what I heard. He sounded almost - republican.

I hadn't heard that story but yes it does sound like something a Republican would do or say.

They wouldn't even let him finish reading the documents. That would piss me off to no end. Hopefully, it will Manchin, as well. I'd love to see him give the GOP the middle finger over that.

But, the fact that he and the others were only given an hour should also have set off alarms with him.
