The voters believe he was railroaded by the Obama prosecution.
He beat the ludicrous felony charges against him and was convicted of a fake misdemeanor when he refused to plea bargain that the explosion was the fault of the miners. He refused to save his hide by letting the miners take the rap. That’s honesty and integrity.
His misdemeanor conviction remains on the court docket but is cleared in the minds of the voters.
Those that hate him are democrats. WVA has democrats that will lie and curse at anything that’s not part of their traitor party. Democrats are all about corruption. Blankenship threatens their gravy train.
A misdemeanor conviction does not disqualify Blankenship from serving in the US Senate.
I have already posted twice that he has an uphill battle against the democrat machine and McConnell’s treachery. But others say WVA voters are woke.
The other two, Morrisey and Jenkins? Not a chance. The seat depends on Blankenship and his bonding with WVA voters. They like his honesty.
Here’s the real Blankenship:

Ah, I see.
Manchin has won 5 statewide elections.
He won't even break a sweat if Blankenship is the candidate.
