WVA Democrats are atypical.
They’re conservative.
Die hard WV democrats are conservative, but has always voted dem due to union influence. They have always believed that they have to have the unions to keep the mines open and the salaries high. Otherwise they are just naive Christian people whose pappy was democrat and grandpappy was democrat, and “by gum I will be democrat till I die.” The Tea Party explosion opened a few eyes and began the process of removing democrats from power in WV. After 80 years of dem rule, we elected a Republican House & Senate. Hillary, bless her heart, has almost finished the job by saying out loud that she would put the mines out of business and take their jobs. Don’t know how long it will last.
