But to the OP it is. He happens to hate everything about Trump and blames Trump for anything that he thinks is going wrong> Now, I agree with you, this is not about Trump.
The thread title is a quote from a Virginia Republican regarding the possibility of disgraced Chairman and CEO of Massey Energy Company, ex-con Don Blankenship, becoming the GOP nominee in the West Virginia Senate race.
Blankenship has been out of prison for less than a year after serving time for willfully violating safety regulations at his company’s Upper Big Branch Mine, leading to an explosion that killed 29 employees — the worst mining accident in the U.S. in four decades. The safety violations at his mine led to Rolling Stone dubbing him "the dark lord of coal country."
His shocking rise in the polls has Republicans in West Virginia and D.C. worrying he could triumph next month and cost them another winnable race in the fall while embarrassing the state.
The GOP has vowed not to lift a finger to help him if he wins the nomination.
Polluted water for thee, clean water for me. Isn't that the Republican way?
The GOP sure does seem to attract "the best people," at least if you go by our president's definition of the term.
lmao The hypocrisy in your very own OP is laughable.
"The GOP has vowed not to lift a finger to help him if he wins the nomination."
and then that is followed by your twisted statement "The GOP sure does seem to attract "the best people," at least if you go by our president's definition of the term.' So they attract them in order to ignore them? It all makes sense in bizarro world. I think you're a plant by the right to discredit people on the left. It's working, no doubt about that.
Need I remind you that during the last presidential election your candidate was hillary. The most unethical, immoral candidate any side has run in the last 50 years. Trump beat her. Trump beat her. She might have been the only dem that couldn't beat trump. The reason being she's a low life scumbag who backs failed policies. Why listen to you? You can't clean your own room.
And it gets better with this statement, "Polluted water for thee, clean water for me. Isn't that the Republican way?" hahaha childish, absolutely childish.
No, the GOP doesn't want him to be the nominee, but apparently the Republican voters in West Virginia are giving him a serious look. He is competitive in that race, which should be astounding, but this is the party that also gave us Roy Moore, (who won his primary in spite of how unethical and odious he was), and of course, also gave us Donald Trump, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised by this, either.
So there is no guarantee GOP won't end up with an embarrassing candidate, just like they did in Alabama. And if they do, they have only themselves to blame.
bolded for hypocrisy
lol You don't care about him and his actions. How could you when you backed someone far worse. You backed the most unethical and odious candidate a major party has ever run for president.
LOL......it always comes down to this. There is NO defending Justice or the (D)'s that elected him. I am not a Conservative so I do not have to answer for them.
I will vote for Jenkins in the primary to try and keep Blankenship out BUT I'll vote for Joe Manchin come November. (Being registered as an (I) means I can vote in either primary.
You may not be a conservatives but you are blaming only Democrats when both D and R voted for Justice. And you keep avoiding to explain your rationale other than "I said so".

LOL. You must have missed the whole right-wing industry where they blamed earthquake on Obama.

He ran and was voted in as a (D). I should blame the GOP for that? I noted that BOTH candidates were corrupt and I do not expect anything more out of the GOP. I do the (D)'s.

“Wasn’t he convicted of a crime?” Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas said in an interview Tuesday. “That sort of background doesn’t lend itself to public office, in my view. Being convicted of a crime is a real liability.”
Wasn't Gianforte welcomed with open arms into the GOP? Or do GOP Senators somehow have a higher standard?
29 miners died in a coal mine which Blankenship owned AND was aware of unsafe conditions.
It's really hard to beat that. I don't care if he is Republican or Democrat or anything inbetween - he shouldn't be running for office.

It was Obama's fault. No, seriously. 100%. That's Blankenship's angle. That's what he's running ads on. It's BS, of course, but he sure knows his audience.

Oh, I believe it. And if the people of WV vote him in - they deserve what they get.

Be careful with that. I'm informed that if you call out the "heartland" voters when they do something dumb, they get pouty and do something even dumber just to show that nobody is the boss of them! We risk getting him, too.
