      He was the designated bad guy that the Democrats blamed for why Obamacare didn't have a public option. Kind of the Joe Manchin of the 2000s.

      Al Gore's VP pick in 2000. The last generation's Joe Manchin. Instrumental in killing the public option when the Democrats had a supermajority. Enormous piece of shit.
