In that area of Southern WV, you are a dead in the water if you voted for Hillary Clinton and he had his eyes on that Congressional seat before he even won his State Senate seat. I know Richard Ojeda and I was very let down when he started faking his Trump support the day after the 2016 election.

He explained why, as a working class guy he voted against the Washington establishment...like a lot of people did.

He would be an anti-establishment candidate. He supports people that run against the establishment.

Trump ran bashing the GOP and didn’t stop bashing them after he won.

Then he can go fuck right off. There's no way you can make that leap knowing as much as we knew even at the point of the 2016 election and still claim to stand for democratic values... not in West Virginia and not on Mars.

You will not be able to win the Democratic primary after voting for Trump. There's no excuse in the world that will let the people who are feeling oppressed by Trump (like myself) vote for you. This gal will not vote for you. It might work in West Virginia, but it won't work across the country.
