Can the Ds just kick him out instead? He's not reliable and is basically taking a D seat not being a D.
Uh, what? This is West Virginia. He is a 'D' taking an 'R' seat but he wins on name recognition. The other Senator is a Republican who last won election with 70% of the vote.

This traditional, delusional, D' thinking. If he doesn't vote D, he's not a D, in-spite of how much DCCC money he gets. The voters put in a D. They want a D.
No, they want a conservative Democrat based on the near-supermajority support for a Republican candidate in their most recent Senate election. Is Manchin always reliable? No, but he votes with the party more than any Republican Senator. He isn't getting replaced with a progressive Democrat and the real delusion is thinking that's a possibility.
Yeah. I don't believe that. At all. Thats not how rural districts or states work. Its a line that D's have been parroting for decades but which has no basis in reality.
