Gotta love me some hillfolk.
There is much more to the story than this one bill, as there always is.
Blair got spanked, and so did his little toady (Paul Espinosa) whom he personally recruited to run against a conservative incumbent Senator because she dared to say she might challenge Blair for the Senate presidency.
It wasn’t all good news though, and it usually isn’t ALL good.
While know-nothings cheer for the defeat of any incumbent (they’ve never heard of) and simply assume that those who are defeated must be RINOs, it’s not always the case.
As one example: Robert Karnes, possibly the most staunch conservative in the WV Senate (and a major foe of Blair), unfortunately lost to a squishy challenger in Tuesday’s primary. Giving liberal/RINO something to celebrate, and they are.
