The last Democrat to win any counties in OK was Gore in 2000. In addition, the last Democrat to win Oklahoma County was Johnson in 1964, while the last Democrat to win Tulsa county was Roosevelt in 1936. Thus, I think it would have been difficult for any OK counties to flip.
On the other hand, the last Democrat to win any counties in WV was Obama in 2008. Given the effects of Hillary's anti-coal comment, as well as Bernie's ability to appeal to working-class voters, I think it is plausible that he could have at least avoided being "shut out" like Obama in 2012 and Hillary in 2016.
