Also, what is the importance/relevance of the Blankenship nomination,and why are some republicans supporting his democrat opponent? I get that he is a CEO and there were better nominees ... but still, is there something I'm missing here? As in Trump, or Muslims, or Jews, or something?
@Tasunke_Witka Multiple reasons
1. Jim Justice is a Republican who was elected as a Trump Democrat in 2016. He endorsed Manchin before any of this, and many WV Republicans are relatively okay with Manchin as such. Furthermore, Manchin has always been a "Blue Dog" even though we've got dirt on him being a double-tongued devil.
2. He basically killed 29 people and attempted to move to China because he's a radical Libertarian. He spent 1 year in Federal Correctional Institution Taft and could be a Senate nominee before the one year anniversary of his release--which will be on the tenth, in two days.
3. He's got a horrible monotone voice and he genuinely seems unelectable on this alone.
Hmm
Where is Jim Justice serving?
4. He's actually too extreme for a lot of them and he also engages in heavy infighting even across state lines for attention.
Jim Justice is the Governor of West Virginia.
I see
So Blankenship is a rowdy libertarian who doesn't play nice and was CEO during a bad time
And the WV democrats support Trump to a degree
?
He was convicted of conspiracy to violate federal health and safety regulations.
And yeah, but also conversely, there's WV Republicans who support Manchin.
Do u know the name of the prosecuting attorney?
In the health and safety case
No, but you can start looking into it from here.
Don Blankenship maintains his complete innocence.
Makes me wonder ... why the hell did they nominate him ...
Did they?
I don't see any results yet.
not yet
Polls just opened
Just voted

Good man
We should try to get Minnesota in 2020, we can win that
So, there are a few elections happening today?
Failure. Weak. Pathetic.
How the hell?
What’s was the point of sending the National Guard then?
It was all a show. I had a feeling Trump didn't really intend to stop it

All my prayers to those that can vote in N.C. Don’t screw over my state please.
@GermanEastAfrica Get every White person you know to the polls. Especially if you or they live in the 2nd, 3rd, 9th and 13th congressional districts of North Carolina.
