General Discussion

Manchin was the best we could get from W VA, but now it's an R seat. I didn't like people criticizing him and thought protestors going by his boat and calling him "Mansion" were a waste of time. (I think they may have been Code Pink and weren't from W VA) I don't know what those protetestors were trying to accomplish. I hope they're happy with Jim Justice.

Gallego is much better than Sinema.

Complaining about people like Henry Cuellar is pretty much as waste of time and counter-productive He will tell you to his face that he's doing what his constituents want. He always had a large war chest and when you pissed him off, he would withhold donating to the local party. Those funds can be used to elect other Democrats. He was redistricted in 2025 and now his base is Webb and Hildago Counties. He has always been a huge supporter of Webb County and I hope he is also supporting Hildago County Democrats. He also served on Appropriations for quite awhile, but has now been kicked off the committee. Having a local member on Appropriations is always a boom for your community.

Fetterman has been a huge disappointment. Both politically and personally (the way he dresses is an embarrasment to our party)

I hope we can do better. Since 2028 is a presidential year, I think we can.
