Don Blankenship isnt done being a thorn in the side of the GOP.
The ex-con former coal baron announced Monday morning that he plans to run as the Constitution Partys nominee for Senate, a move that could damage his former partys chances at defeating Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) if hes able to actually get on the ballot.

Some people just can’t put their egos aside for the good of the overall cause.

Sounds like WV needs a sore loser election law to prevent that. Hope he doesn’t run, he is nutso.

I take it that West Virginia doesn’t have a sore-loser law.

Who knows what deals the Democrats have cut with an ex-con.. Anything illegal and nefarious you can think of, and probably lots of things you haven't thought of, the Democrats are capable of.

Now we know hes a Democrat. Whos paying him? Stephen Halpern?

Some people just cant put their egos aside for the good of the overall cause. Blankenship's overall cause is Blankenship. This is his way of furthering that.

Blankenship just guaranteed a Manchan win. Shame on him!!

Well there goes a Senate seat we should have picked up. My opinion of this man is and has been unprintable for years.

This is one reason why I don’t donate money to political parties. If this @sshole had won the GOP primary he would have gotten lots of financial support from the party — and then proceeded to lose by a 65%-35% margin.

Exactly. Start hanging him around Manchin’s neck as a Democrat stooge immediately.
