There you have it.
Thank you! I hope more Democrats follow your honorable lead

Thank you for being honorable and principled. Voting for qualifications not by who nominated him.

I'll be donating to any Dem challenger to your seat. Can't wait to see you voted out of office. You're a traitor to Dems & an embarrassment.

Geez.
A parting piece of advice for Sen. Manchin:
Better wear a helmet Joe. There will be incoming fire. https://t.co/FNc9RpREAd
