it appears he's cooked. Time to go now, Twittler. What more would it take? Negative approval ratings in Wyoming and Mississippi?

Why has the Democratic Party turned its back on these people?

If there's ever an opportunity to win voter loyalty - West Virginia is ripe for the picking.
Just do something to help these people and they'll vote blue forever.

Look at how easy it was for Cheeto to stomp in there and hand them a bunch of lies.
He doesn't give a shit about them.
