#4 Whatever Manchin's personal views, in a state where Trump beat Hillary by 42 points, he needs to appear moderate. At the same time, if he's not liberal enough, he will face a primary challenge. The fact that he hasn't re-registered as a Republican - in the most pro-GOP state in the union - suggests to me that he is at heart a liberal who is tacking as far left as he can without destroying his political viability.
