Trump has come out this morning urging his supporters not to vote for Blankenship. WTF??? Where is Bannon when we need him.

Trump not supporting someone who is for Trump and willing to out do Trump.

Here is to wish Blankenship the best of luck in tomorrow's primaries.
Had I lived in W. VA, I would be making robocalls on behalf of Blankenship.

Actually, he was convicted of a conspiracy to violate mine safety and health standards, a misdemeanor, and was sentenced to the maximum sentence of 1 year in jail because he skated from the two other felony charges against him (securities fraud and making false statements). That said, there is no question that he is lowest form of scum whose malfeasance resulted in the death of 29 miners.

Thanks and what are his chances?
They believed in Trump for resurgence is coal jobs, so perhaps they trust Blankenship too.

Dunno. Everyone in the race, including Democrat Joe Manchin, are fully beholden to the coal industry in West-By-God. At one time, Blankenship was fully involved behind-the-scenes apologetically pulling the strings on behalf of the coal industry in the WV capitol. He's the absolutest swampiest and most corrupt of creatures, even by Trumpian standards.
