Patrick Morrisey just won by far the most expensive gubernatorial primary in West Virginia state history. It was a brutal race with 4 major candidates. Moore Capito was the establishment favorite, with a current U.S. Senator for a mom AND a former Governor for a grandfather. Chris Miller has a Congresswoman for a mom, AND another former Congressman for a grandfather. Mac Warner, the Secretary of State ONLY had a former Chairman of the State GOP for a brother, another brother who was the GOP nominee for Governor, and a member of the House of Delegates for a wife. It’s a good thing voters hate legacy politicians.
Morrisey is the state’s AG, but he has been very much outside the establishment, especially in relation to his competitors. The WV media was firmly on the Moore Capito bandwagon.

I've heard good things about him. He beat a sitting U.S. senator and some other well connected politicians.
It's a Win.
Sorry: it was the daughter of the senator * he beat
Son of the senator!
Either way, it’s a nice win and he is tipped for good things this guy
Been paying attention to him for several years.
Maybe he can balance out Lockdown Larry Hogan. 🙄🙄🙄
All those ‘related-tos’ in the list makes me realise once again that at the end of the day, we really DO like being ruled by royalty. Nations might ditch hereditary royalty, and become republics, but in the end, we just replace one form of royalty with another: Namely incestuous family political dynasties, such as Bush, Kennedy, and numerous others.
He is one HARD working, real fighter!.
You put your thoughts so well about generational dynasties in America. I would have been more crude and said they are families who think their **** doesn’t stink.
With him as governor, maybe I’ll move there.
Morrisey Interview,he also is a Trump supporter.
_______________
Another ‘win’ for Trump with his endorsement of Morrisey.
Your description of the various candidates above (except Morrissey) sounds downright incestuous. Eww.
A state run by devout Nepotists.
>> sounds downright incestuous. Eww.
Well, it IS WV after all, where the definition of “virgin” is “a girl who can run faster than her brothers”. ;-)
And his democrat opponent will win. Rinse and repeat.
Third try, got it right. ;’}
I voted against (and will continue to vote against) all members of the Moore/Capito political slime machine.
AG Patrick Morrissey has given us excellent service using successful lawsuits to neutralize various abuses of power emanating from WashingtonDC.
Says the guy from Beijing ...
The rats only had one candidate in their primary for governor... So let's have a look at the next highest State office: Attorney General.
Republicans:
John McCuskey: 116,723 votes
Mike Stuart: 78,293 votes
Democrats:
Teresa Toriseva: 50, 167 votes
Ritchie Robb: 45, 106 votes.
The Democrat winner got fewer votes than the Republican loser ...
Says the guy from San Francisco ...
LOL! Uh oh, touched a raw nerve...
(from Texas actually)
Ain’t nothing from Texas but steers and queers, boy.
And I don’t see any horns ...
I saw the interview he seems great. I hope he does well
