WVA Democrats are atypical. They’re conservative.
They want a President less liberal than Obama and paradoxically they voted for the socialist Bernie!
They’ll vote GOP in November.
Makes absolutely no sense?
And that is all it will take.
Too bad that West Virginia has only 5 electoral votes. But since there are similar demographics in bordering states, this bodes very well for Virginia (13), Ohio (18) and Pennsylvania (20).
The other 6 are still brain dead.
I don’t get it! Why would a Bernie idiot vote for Trump?
And if Hillary is the nominee, the rest of them will stay home.
I think overall Trump gets 20% of Sanders’ voters, or 1/8 the total Dem vote.
Nice, but Hillary has written this state off anyway. And it doesn’t amount to much from an electoral perspective.
I was listening to Chris Plante on WMAL yesterday morning. He was talking about CNN sending a reporter to get numbers for the presidential candidates.
Reporter went to Logan County, WVA because it is 6 to 1 Democrat. He could not find one person who would admit they were going to vote for Clinton in November.
The Populist Rebellion is in full-roar.
West Virginia was always a weird state. It always voted overwhelmingly Democrat even though the people were very conservative. There really wasn’t even a Republican Party in existence there, and Republican presidential candidates really didn’t even make an effort there.
The evil Karl Rove was looking over the data for Bush’s first campaign and decided he would try to expand the map to make a play for West Virginia. He won, but the state still had all Democrat senators and congressmen. Since then the people have been slowly changing parties until now when the party is now reliably Republican though there are a few Democrat remnants still in office (Joe Manchin). They will probably be replaced by Republicans when they retire though switching the state completely.
Romney won West Virginia by 27 %. Trump may win it by 37 %.
ALL ABOARD THAT TRUMP TRAIN!!
This might be the most interesting race in our lifetime...
