juan williams is here and co-host of the five. steve hayes editor in chief of the weekly standard. outclassed in all capacities with this panel. i'll play traffic cop. juan, to you. the president won west virginia 69-26 over hillary clinton. with this should manchin start brushing up on his resume? >> i think manchin now leads in polls. what you've got is a situation where the president and his presence can activate that republican base in any state. now let me just say that was called into question recently in that special election in the district outside of pittsburgh, pennsylvania 18 where he did go in and again was not able to push the republican candidate over the finish line. in west virginia for a senate seat he doesn't want one of the republicans contesting to get the nomination on the republican side in the may primary and his presence there i think was a reminder about -- supposed to be about tax reform. he threw the speech in the air and said nothing to this boring script, i'll talk about immigrants and tax cuts. >> leland: joe manchin. it was anything but boring. manchin
