Aw c'mon...you expect "core values" from a deadbeat...OR a politician?
Even Rockefeller was an "R" until 1966 when he realized that he had to be a "D" to get elected to the state House of Delegates. IMO party affiliations in WV are only a matter of convenience.
...and then there is President Trump. Boy howdy, that one sure turned around and bit the Republican party on the ass. LOL!!
He had never run for office, wasn't an established politician and the GOP needed a foil for JEB so they were more than happy to take his entree fees for the various primaries. After all, there was NO WAY he could win the nomination!!!
