WV officials deny Blakenship a spot on ballot
Politico ^ | 7/26/2018 | James Arkin

West Virginia’s secretary of state on Thursday denied Don Blankenship’s bid to appear on the Senate ballot as a third-party candidate, a victory for Republicans hoping to consolidate votes against Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin in the general election.

Secretary of State, Mac Warner, said Blankenship’s bid would violate the state’s "sore loser law" preventing a candidate who lost a primary from running again in the general election. Blankenship ran in the May GOP primary but finished a distant third, and submitted signatures earlier this week to run in November as the Constitution Party candidate.

At times it's hard be believe it when we win one.

I'll be adding this to my posts for a few days, once per thread I participate on.


Red Pill People > We Need to Know About

John Stossil intro explains: (first three people)

Candace Owens
Brandon Tatum
CJ Pearson

Larry Elder (Conservative talk show host - Los Angeles / back into the 80s [ I believe ] )
Coleman Hughes (undergraduate at Quillette) additional link
Jesse Lee Peterson (someone we've known about since before 2001)


These people are opening up the eyes of Blacks from within their ranks.

I think it's important we know who they are and promote them when we can.

I may be the last to know of them, but I don't want anyone else not to know, so here's the info.

Even if you knew about them before, this might be a decent resource for finding their work.

When you hit the links above, you'll see Google's information page.

You'll be able to learn more about them using links there.

Click on the VIDEO button at the top and you'll be taken to a list of their YouTube videos.

Enjoy.


I'm sure I've left people out, so I'd appreciate folks mentioning them to me so I can add them to this short list.

VERY important. He won’t get to siphon off votes the way Sheriff Joe will in the AZ primary.

I am disappointed in Joe on his inability to drop out

This is great news. Makes it much more likely that Manchin will be defeated.

I'm quite interested in the primary election dynamics.

What's the projected GOP outcome if

1. Sheriff Joe stays in? And,

2. If Sheriff Joe drops out out of respect for the leading GOP candiates?

(I like Sheriff Joe, however I do not look at him as a potential senator. Full disclosure, that is up to the good voters of the great state of Arizona, who must finally, somehow get things right after all those embarrasing McCain elections.)

Sheriff Joe has backers telling him enough fake stuff, that he’s convinced that he’s doing the right thing.

The law was a little vague, and the new one was passed after he started petitioning. He will undoubtedly sue.

But he ought to be self aware enough to see that he and Dr Ward are splitting the same pool. He’s had his day. We don’t need McSalot in that seat

Of course he’s going on to sue. The man has ego and no brains. He can’t accept the fact the voters don’t want him. He is a turd in the punch bowl and loves it

Nah... he’s just a corrupt man on the left’s payroll.

Good for Morrisey, but I suspect that WV will still want Manchin.

We know this; Dr. Ward knows it, but the people of AZ are clueless and shall so remain, I fear.

Arpaio’s being in the mix doesn’t help

Joe doesn’t have a chance. None. He is polling a distant third in every poll, but is drawing enough that if ALL his voters went to Ward, it would be a tie.

Right now, unfortunately, McAmnesty is leading outside any margin of error. I think Ward had her shot early (Last Aug-Dec) to cement herself as the front runner and didn’t. One thing her camp needed to do back then was to begin negotiations with Joe to keep him out.

I also urged them to use PPD polling, who could have devised an effective campaign against McAmnesty. I think it’s too late. I’ll contribute to Ward and support her, but I don’t think she’s convinced the rank and file. One GOP guy I talked to-—just a regular voter-—said “I think she needs more seasoning. She’s just been in the AZ senate a little while.”
