There’s not much future for Democrats in West Virginia.
Political party Republican (until 2015, 2017–present)
Other political affiliations Democratic (2015–2017)
So what?
He’s nothing but a windsock, an opportunist and a hack.
All of a sudden this is gonna make the GOP legislature and senate play nice with him?
Watching it live. By God, he just did it.
Mr. Zimmerman says you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
West Virginia Democrat becomes Republican...
Since he’s a WV emocrat he must have attended a fundraiser or two involving Democrat Klansman Senator Byrd.
Democrat news media headlines tomorrow will probably be :
“White WV Governor with Links to KKK Joins Trump GOP”
I’m so glad all you folks think this is such good news.
Not sure how this can help President Trump in his battle against the RATS, media and the GOP.
Can’t see how it will help us Mountaineers with the RATS and Republicans in Charleston.
IMO, it’s just gonna change the dinners and cocktail parties he’s invited to......maybe get a GOP golf tourney at the Greenbriar.
What if right after this former democrat declared himself to now be a republican, someone came onstage and presented this man with a small New Testament Bible? Can you imagine the hysteria and over the top outrage? Andrea Mitchell (NBC-NEWS) would be pulling her hair out on the air in shock and frustration. “Did you see what JUST happened??” Of course it would never happen, but still fun to view the scene in my minds’ eye.
The governor gave a very nice speech. Had elements of a Trump speech in it.
Like President Trump.
Justice and Trump are brash, wealthy, wheeler dealer birds of a feather. They share a somewhat common agenda and share opposition from their respective government apparatus. The only advantage each will gain is a boost to their own egos.
