Just as in Alabama
@Mesaclone, I got no dog in this hunt but YES I would absolutely want the MOST ELECTABLE Conservative to win the Primary AND the General, but recent history bestows upon US the lesson that when McConnell and Trump get involved in these things the results are less than optimal.
Blankenship: I’m Trumpier than Trump
By Luis Sanchez - 05/07/18 09:24 AM EDT Don Blankenship said on Monday that he is “Trumpier than Trump†in response to a tweet from the president urging West Virginians to support the GOP Senate candidate's primary opponents.
"As some have said I am Trumpier than Trump, and this morning proves it,†Blankenship, a former mining CEO, said in a statement responding to a tweet from Trump.
"The President is a very busy man and he doesn’t know me, and he doesn’t know how flawed my two main opponents are in this primary," Blankenship said. "The establishment is misinforming him because they do not want me to be in the U.S. Senate and promote the President’s agenda."
