Why did WV vote for Bernie in the Democratic primary?

[TDAS04]

Yeah, many just wanted to vote against the Democratic frontrunner.

WV be like:

White woman > black man
White man > white woman

I wonder who a black woman could win against...

A gay white man

A gay white man against a Muslim would be very interesting in WV.

If it means anything, the gay white male Democratic Senate candidate in Kentucky (mayor of Lexington) easily outperformed Hillary in that state last cycle.

Lots of voters in the primary who were Trump supporters and socially conservative democrats voted for Bernie because they found out they were registered democrats and couldn't vote in the GOP primary but decided they wanted to make a message by voting for Bernie.

Arkansas kind of hurts that argument.

Clinton legacy in Arkansas. Bill Clinton won Arkansas 54-37 in 1996. Can also see in 2008 primaries, where HRC also won Arkansas.

Though it's interesting that Hillary won Tennessee by the about the same amount she won Arkansas.
