Pretty low bar, but yeah. He was vilified more than he should have been for short term gains and now the Democrats have lost a seat for the long term that they can't afford to lose.
Please, please prove me wrong West Virginia.
He's been declining in electability over time. He had a high chance of losing the next election to a generic red team candidate, and then the red team candidate turned out to be someone with a lot of name recognition and electability. He was quite unlikely to continue in the WV senator role no matter what, and I don't think the Dems vilifying him is the cause. If anything, it helped him in WV, just not enough.
Probably true I suppose. But he had SOME chance of being elected. I'm not sure that's true of anyone else. I guess we'll see and like I said, I hope I'm wrong.
