Conservative Out-Fundraises McConnell’s Establishment Candidate in West Virginia Senate Primary

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, the conservative candidate for U.S. Senate in his state, out-raised his establishment-backed opponent Rep. Evan Jenkins (R-WV) in the third quarter of 2017.

Jenkins, who was handpicked by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, is a former Democrat who backed Hillary Clinton for president in 2008.

Morrisey, per a press release from his campaign, raised $672,000 during the last quarter, far outperforming the establishment-backed Jenkins. The Morrisey campaign’s announcement stated that the campaign had $548,000 cash on hand at the close of the quarter. The campaign’s release also highlighted that the $672,000 was “more than TRIPLE the $220,000 raised by his primary opponent, Evan Jenkins, in the same reporting period. Jenkins also burned through his entire fundraising haul this quarter – spending $206,000 and netting only $14,000 this quarter.”

Mike Pence’s chief of staff warned these establishment pukes. Either get on the Trump Train, or be replaced by those who will.

Politically speaking there are very few sins that are unforgivable. Supporting The PIAPS is unforgivable.

Former DemocRAT, supported Hillary...

Why am I not surprised that Ol' Mitch handpicked him to run for the Senate seat?

“Having supported Hellary in the past!” Now that’s a resume enhancer in the Mountain State! Let him go down to Logan, other places in the coalfields and explain that!

I’m guessing that all Mr. Morrissey will have to say is his opponent backed Hillary Clinton over and over again. That should get him about 80% of the Republican primary vote!

After McConnell’s henchmen forked out 30 million to beat Moore,
who can blame them for holding back?

Just sent him my initial donation. He’s running against a jerk who voted for that criminal from Arkansas.
