.The Fox News Decision Desk can now project a winner in the West Virginia Republican Senate primary. State Attorney General Patrick Morrissey will beat Congressman Evan Jenkins and former coal executive Don Blankenship, who will come in third. The results are a victory for President Trump, who had urged voters to reject Blankenship as doomed to lose to incumbent Democratic Senator Joe Manchin in November.

Hardly an upset. Morrisey was leading for some time.

Trump needs to now endorse Morrisey and call for Manchin to be fired.

Fake polls?

I feel optimistic about holding the Senate but the House is up for grabs.

What brainiac thinks that this was an upset? I hope that he/she will be working for the Democrats this fall.

I’m sure “Cocaine Mitch & his China Family” are happy with this outcome.

Sounds like a progressive rock band, doesn’t it?

Some real life morons here could not see past Blankenship’s
great debate performance to RAT general election ads.
Mug shot commercials. The family of dead miner commercials.
The dirty Coal Baron commercials.
Blankenship would have been a disaster.
Does this mean Morressey will win?
Who knows.
Morressey’s odds are 1000% better
than Blankenship’s odds would have been.

I favored State Attorney General Patrick Morrisey in the debate. He is an elected state official with good name recognition and a “rock-solid, independent-minded conservative.” He is the first Republican to serve as Attorney General in West Virginia since 1933.

Where do you get this I’m sure “Cocaine Mitch & his China Family” in reference to Morrisy? Morrisey is backed by several prominent conservative groups, including the American Conservative Union, Senate Conservatives Fund, and FreedomWorks PAC. West Virginia Republicans know who will be their best man.

I saw that McConnell tweet. Some on Twitter are wondering if all that white powdery substance is something Eric Clapton used to sing about.

Blankenship would have been the next Roy Moore giveaway.

Blankenship was a disaster. IF he had won the general would have been a blood bath

Danny was all about his own power. He is no conservative just a power hungry yob
