I’m calling it for Morrisey. Blankenship can’t statistically overcome that margin with the remaining votes and Jenkins won’t, either.
I’ll give you two points, Danny:
Point #1, You’re backing a disastrous troll candidate who has gone to prison for the deaths of 29 coal miners. A troll candidate who would be used against EVERY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE in November in order to help the Democrats win.
Point #2, You’re calling people here who support President Trump’s appeal to NOT SUPPORT this disastrous troll candidate RINO supports of McQueeg, Flakey and Lil’ Boob.
Some states, like Texas, have a sore looser rule. You cannot run in the general if you lost in the Primary. Alaska does not, that is why the RINO Lisa Murkowski is their Senator
He’ll get some disgruntled nutter votes as an Independent, but the bulk of Republicans and Conservative Dems/Independents will vote for Morrisey. In any event, Blankenship can easily be painted as a troll candidate who just wants to elect Manchin, as an Independent candidacy would demonstrate.
Family members of the victims and surviving miners would likely appear in ads for Manchin detailing the horror of that disaster. Whether or not Blankenship was personally responsible is irrelevant as far as electoral success in that scenario - that is simply a devastating dynamic to achieve victory.
You not here to win with Trump, you here as fake conservative DNC propaganda bot. Your political rantings always go ONE way. At Trumps political allies. You are very oddly silent about fighting the Dems on anything.
So either you are too politically stupid to understand that some one 75%-80% on your side is an ally not an enemy.
or you know it and are merely here to propagandize for the DNC.
So which are you a political fool or a political fraud?
Indeed - heart wrenching ads featuring the families of the lost miners and survivors of the incident would pretty much end that race before it even would start.
It is possible that your comprehension of the written word is somewhat lacking.
I did point out a number of RINOs and indicated that I have not read anything other than RINO type comments about Morrisey.
All you do is respond with temper style Barbara Streisand when asked to respond.
Where did this Tom Willis come from? I never heard him mentioned - he’s tracking somewhat strong. Maybe a protest vote from all of the negative attacks being thrown by the top candidates I guess...
WV U.S. Senate race:
89,986 votes, 59% reporting (1,037 of 1,744 precincts
Patrick Morrisey 31,983 35.5%
Evan Jenkins 25,300 28.1%
Don Blankenship 17,759 19.7%
Others 14,944 16.6%
“Open” primary?? Who told you that? ;)
I had to show my voter registration card and accordingly, was given a straight Republican ballot.
Unless a substantial amount of the outstanding vote is in Jenkins’ congressional district, looks like Morrisey clearly has the upper hand.
These are conservative Democrats... they increasingly vote R.
WVA has a GOP governor, a GOP legislature and one GOP Senate seat. The other will go R in November.
Trump won with 66% of the vote in 2016. WVA is a solid Red state.
Personal attacks with no proof are what has become the standard at every Primary for the last Twenty or so years here. You are continuing in that grand tradition
The question remains - If RINOs are 75% good, maybe there should be another party that believes in a LIMITED Fed. G'ment and puts up candidates.
Many of you here think you are "conservative" - can you define what that means? I for one like what Trump is doing by scaling back the size of the Bureaucracy - EPA, Education, HHS.
Well, the court found him responsible. He can claim “witch hunt” all he wants, but it won’t matter.
“So based on your current preference would I be safe in assuming that you like McCain, Flake and Corker ?” — Dan Z
I voted for Patrick Morrisey.
Sounds decent enough, says he’s a former Green Beret. Still, he really should’ve run for another lesser office.
