Nope, which is why Trump campaigned against him.
So to start with, the Turtle arranged for the recent Dem to register as a Rep. and split the Rep. vote, along come Blankenship creating an option for "conservative" voters as someone other then a RINO.
Trump appears to be making peace with the Turtle in the Turtle's back yard. This Trump strategy looks to me to be like his old Mueller strategy until now. He finally comes out swinging against Mueller by hiring Giuliani - Lesson Learned ?? maybe. Does Trump need to learn the same lesson in Politics, after all he is a businessman and not a politician?
