Longtime liberal pollster Stuart Rothenberg apparently had a hard time handling President Donald Trump's visit to West Virginia on Thursday. During that visit, Mountain State Governor Jim Justice officially announced his switch to the Republican Party, thereby consolidating full GOP control over the executive and legislative branches in that state, and bringing the total number of Republican U.S. governors to 35.

Hey Stuart Rottenberg, why not open YOUR mind. Conservatives aren’t the closed minded, Liberals are..

Liberal Pollster Smears West Virginians As 'Close-Minded,' 'Easily Misled'...uh, not really - 'rats decided they wanted everybody using windmills and solar panels for power, and proudly declared they were going to close all the coal mines to make it happen - West Virginians promptly changed parties and started voting for Republicans - seems pretty open minded to me - and the 'rats are bewildered, can't figure out why the West Virginians are deserting them - they're the ones who seem pretty easily misled to me......

“they chose to separate from the rest of Virginia, remain loyal to the Union, and become an independent State”

[Wiki] “However most of the pro-Confederate elements no longer considered themselves citizens of the United States; they saw themselves as citizens of another country (the Confederacy) and did not vote in elections sponsored by the United States. Votes from the secessionist counties in the October 24 vote on statehood were mostly cast by refugees in the area around Wheeling, not in the counties themselves. In secessionist counties where a poll was conducted it was by military intervention. Even in some counties that had voted against secession, such as Wayne and Cabell, it was necessary to send in Union soldiers”

The outcome was very close to an even split and had to be bolstered by Union Military intervention, which was in the best interest of the federal government in view of the impending civil conflict.

The entire liberal establishment is obnoxious, and filled with high esteem about their superiority.
