My thanks to Senator Joe Manchin, West Virginia, who voted to convict,

[pnwmom]

even though he represents a state, West Virginia, that had just voted for Trump by 69%.

That was a difficult vote politically, even though it was the only correct one factually and morally.

1. He is conservative but he seems like a pretty good guy

2. We are lucky to have him

10. Manchin has been able to keep that seat on our side - despite all manner of . . .

3. And all this time I thought you were in the Pacific Northwest.

But yes, thank you Joe Manchin.

5. Can't I be grateful to him from Seattle? His vote affected the whole country. n/t

[aikoaiko]

13. Most definitely. For some reason I erroneously read your post as you saying...

...you were thanking your senator. My mistake.

9. I think Manchin showed himself to be a team player

I also think he will get some payback down the road. Probably permission to get a contrary vote later show his state he still loves them. He really has to walk a tightrope.

11. All true..but

His oath is to the constitution. Some congressmen/women are too worried about re-elections. Speaker Pelosi had it right when she asked what is more important than their oath.

12. KR!
