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.
I have family in the mines. UMWA is pretty conservative on energy policy and the rank and file would be either Republicans or old school Blue Dog Dems. When you knowingly send men into unsafe conditions time after time after time, then I have no use for you. MHSA can be overbearing on some issues, but when it comes to the men’s safety they are pretty on the ball. I don’t know whether or not Morrisey can win, but Blankenship would have zero chance.
