Clinton's "best" county in West Virginia was Monongalia Ct., which she lost by 10.16%.
Her "best" county in Oklahoma - by far!!! - was Oklahoma Ct., which she lost by "only" 10.5%.
Bernie would not have done very well in Oklahoma County, but I think he might have done better than Hillary in Monongalia County.

I went out on a limb and voted yes on both....

As others have noted Monongalia County and Oklahoma County would be the two that I think would have flipped.

Monongolia County is a major University County.... Oklahoma County has a major bulge in prime Bernie age Demographics 18-35 years olds, many of whom either sat out the election or voted for 3rd Party Candidates.

I have a hard time seeing Bernie performing worse than Clinton in either, and see it entirely plausible that he would have been able to eke out a narrow win in both.

I firmly believe Bernie would have won the overall election, but I just don't think Oklahoma County would have flipped for any Democrat, not even Biden. Monongalia maybe for Biden, but that's about it.
