Bill Clinton didn't try and put them out of a job. Other than that, I'm not sure of the point as it applies to the topic. Yes (D)'s are losing support in Federal elections in WV because of their position on coal. No one denies that.

He's like a cleaned up Democrat I would say. He doesn't care about the PC nonsense or the special interests and will not have puppeteers pulling his strings since he's financing his own campaign.

I personally think that Donald Trump is going to win by the biggest margin in US history.

This. WV is a red state. It doesn't matter who runs, they will vote for the GOP candidate in the general election.

You all should focus your attention on the swing states.

the point is that Someone forced to vote in the D primary( like the 33% of Sanders voters who will vote Trump) may have been Republican general election voters for the last 16 years. That is my point.

Theres lies, damned lies, and statistics.

BTW don't get me wrong, I think Clintons more serious problem is how many Sanders supporters will simply stay home. I think a lot of people miss that. But this is deceptive nonsense.
No its not. You are just making that up. Or lying. First of all, anyone voting in the democratic primaries had to register democrat BEFORE Trump even won New York and when Cruz had won Wisconsin and all of the media momentum was with Cruz.

Sanders was leading by 15 points in West Virginia in polls in October of last year. He would have crushed her, no matter what. Hillary is really not well liked there. Besides, lots of people who voted Clinton would also would vote Trump in the general election (I believe exit polls showed 30%).

It doesnt make sense for someone to support Trump over Clinton of they were a Sanders supporter. Hillary is closer to Sanders on every single issue.

No one is forced to vote (D) other than registered (D)'s. I explained why very few of them were (R)'s in the past.

Independents can choose a (D) ballot. We have done a pretty good job in starting down the path of making the two parties irrelevant. Unless you are an absolute die hard there is no reason to register as anything other than (I).

Both Trump and Sanders want to end the trade pacts. Hillary supports them. Bad for jobs.

Both Trump and Sanders want to enforce our border laws. Hillary doesn't. Bad for jobs.
