Blankenship also owes big bucks in unpaid taxes in Kentucky, where he also owns and operates mines. These taxes would go to support public schools in the Eastern Kentucky counties where the mines are located and the money is owed.
Kentucky's public schools need all the help they can get right now - but multimillionaire Blankenship is pleading poverty.
He appears to be as corrupt at they come.
Don't worry, it is very unlikely he will get the nomination. Sorry to disappoint you.
No you aren't. You know you would love to see him get the nomination. It would give you something to gloat about and give you reason to think the Dems will win back the seat.
No, unlike you, it matters to me who our leaders are. I'm pretty sure a Republican will win in West Virginia, just like I'm pretty sure Doug Jones will lose that seat to a Republican in the fall. But it won't be Roy Moore, and for that I'm grateful. And in West Virginia, if it won't be someone like Blankenship going to Congress, I'll be grateful for that, too.
But as someone who declared you could never, ever vote for such a man as Donald Trump, but then backtracked and said you "had to" because he was the party nominee, it's no surprise that you wouldn't understand that. For you, it's always, and only, party before country, so you can't fathom it when someone else puts country first. That's a totally foreign concept to you, isn't it?

Why the sarcasm? The man is a criminal.
Your claim appears to be that Democrats are hoping that Blankenship will be the Republican candidate because he will be easier for a Democratic candidate to defeat. If I am mistaken in this, I am sure you will correct me.
However - that's not the way I - and most Democrats I know - roll.
I want the best person for the job to be elected, regardless of party. It's clear that Blankenship is far from the "best person". So, if an ethical and patriotic moderate Republican can defeat him in the primary and then win the seat, that would be fine with me.
I just don't want this corrupt crook to have any more power than he already possesses.
