Not surprising. Trump, for whatever reason (symbolic I guess, because STRATEGIC would be lunacy, not that I'm putting lunacy past this rich idiot), has given WV extra special attention for the entire campaign. They were essentially given their own speaking spot at the RNC, their delegation was front and center (usually reserved for home states/convention-hosting states and such), and his rally there was absolutely raucous.
I mean, he doesn't believe in union rights or workers' rights and his promise to put the miners back to work is empty considering its an inefficient and dying energy source compared to modern technology and even if it was still the best way to provide us with our energy needs the mine owners have figured out basically how to automate what coal IS still mined so... yea, they aren't going back to work. At least not mining coal.
But whatever. Many parts of that state have become Hell on earth and he's pushing literally every right button for them so its not unexpected.
I'll go ahead and declare that this will be his best state. I said Romney would sweep every county in 2012 and people said no way and he wound up doing it easily. I mean, where else is Trump polling at 50% much less 60%.
I guess its that true left wing, working class streak in me, but I'm not going to engage in IceSpear-esque bashing of the state. Its clear poverty causes many a thing; crime, aggression, resentment are the obvious ones that any liberal or leftist understands (or SHOULD). But I'm starting to believe it has another awful symptom; insanity.
