I think an important factor was Hillary's misstatement about putting coal miners out of business. That made her unpopular in WV both in the primaries and in the general election.

On the other hand, I doubt Bernie would have been able to win WV outright in the general election, but I think he might have been able to avoid a "shutout" in the state by winning some counties (the last Democrat to avoid a shutout in WV was Obama in 2008).
