  • This is nothing like Joe Manchin. He was literally the only Democrat who could get elected to national office in this state. It was absolutely inevitable that he would be replaced by a Republican. West Virginia voted for Trump by a higher margin than any other state.

    Take it from someone who lives in the capital. We have a Democrat for mayor, but that’s the extent of Democrat possibilities in this state. Only in our small cities for state or more local positions do they stand a chance.

    The cities here are pretty decent. I love my state, but the people have forgotten our roots. From breaking with Virginia to side with the Union in the civil war, to some of the bloodiest labor rights battles in American history, by all rights this should be a left leaning state. The Southern Strategy was very effective for Republicans, and nowhere is that success more evident than West Virginia.

    Pennsylvania is a completely different animal.
