So let's stop the BS that M4A and breaking the big banks will make West Virginia and Arkansas lean D.
Who actually said this?
It seems like the implication from some of the Sanders folks and Sanders himself. Like, if Manchin wont support M4A, Sanders will be able to go to West Virginia and hold a rally which will provide enough pressure for Manchin to flip. And I've seen plenty of: "Sanders won WV in a landslide during the primary, he would have carried it in the general"
This.
You won't believe how many Sandernistas genuinely believe that Sanders will make West Virginia and Oklahoma competitive because "populism" and "he won the primary there in a landslide".
