HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Bragging about keeping his promises on immigration, the economy, the environment and crime, President Trump celebrated on Thursday with a raucous West Virginia crowd as the state’s Democratic governor announced that he will switch to the Republican Party.

With Gov. Jim Justice by his side, Mr. Trump hailed stock market records and the growth of coal income in West Virginia. And he delivered a lengthy critique of the federal investigations of his campaign’s ties to Russia, calling the matter “a fake story that is demeaning to all of us.”

That is SUCH an awesome list of accomplishments in a short 8 months! I can’t hardly wait for the next 4-8-12-16 YEARS! :)

Too bad the Enemy Media isn’t reporting on it. But, ‘We The People’ know this to our BONES...because Our President BRINGS IT TO US in every opportunity that he gets!

MAGA! :)

He’s a jackass with no real core beliefs and a penchant for switching parties depending on the political winds.

Actually, the situation in West Virginia is so desperate that you could elect George Washington, and it would be hopeless.

Trump’s policies may be able to get coal production up to the low 100 million tons range again....which is still 80 million tons short of where it was in the 90s.

And even then, it’s not an industry that is going to produce massive numbers of jobs any longer since the process is so automated now.

The budget deficit is half a billion dollars. The population is aging at a truly alarming rate. And the young people that remain are addicted to opioids.

I’m not exactly optimistic about WV’s future over the next 20 years.

Keep rolling back those regs until the bureaucrats have seizures.
Then roll back some more until they resign en masse.
Then roll back some more and we’ll be good.

truly pathetic coverage from Fox, which gives the impression only 1,000 attended the rally, when there were 9,000 and allegedly 20,000 tried to get tickets.

also what a hypocritical excerpt from the Republican statement!

plus why give any credit to NYT?

3 Aug: Fox News: West Virginia’s Democratic governor announces switch to Republican party
By Serafin Gómez, Peter Doocy, Nicole Darrah
At least 1,000 supporters lined the streets ahead of the president’s expected appearance, wearing “Make America Great Again” hats and chanting “USA! USA!” ...

Following the announcement, the Republican National Committee released a statement, stating that Justice’s political party switch is “another blow” to the Democrats...
“While Democrats continue to put politics before the American people, Republicans are working with President Trump to lead America towards a future with fewer burdensome regulations, greater economic stability, and stronger national security. Governor Justice, welcome back to the Republican Party.”...

The New York Times first reported that Justice planned to announce his party change.

one other thing. almost every video I’ve seen posted by MSM of the Governor making his announcement begins with protesters in the stands being dealt with by security. funny how they can always move the cameras when it suits them.

here’s a better video:

Democrats still control both branches of Government in 6 States... We need to flip all of ‘em except California... that might take too much money and effort for very little return.

The best thing the Dems have going for them is the GOP establishment. Professional losers, even when they win.

Why do so many people say “conservatism” rather than the proper “conservativism”? It drives me crazy.

>> the state’s Democratic governor announced that he will switch to the Republican Party.

Meanwhile, McConnell continues to behave like a total RINO # up.

Sometimes it pays to have a president that scares the nuts of the world
