Massey had a massive history of safety issues before he left. He didn’t care a whit about his men. I’m not saying the UMWA is great, but Blakenship certainly let safety lax.
Sounds like you were a WVA coal miner or a local that knew WVA miners.
Democrats lie so much they believe their own lies, they spread lies and get entire groups to believe the lies.
I’m not in WVA so I won’t buy into anything, one side or the other.
I just don’t think Morrisey is a match for Manchin. What I saw in that debate is a candidate that is like a windup doll with a pull string to say stock phrases. He’s not popular among the broad WVA voter electorate. He won this primary with a plurality on a split 3-way ticket. Manchin is much smoother and more devious.
I am not having much hope for WVA. I hope to be surprised to the contrary because the President needs all the support he can get in the Senate.
