Bernie has a lot of appeal here, his friendship with Joe Manchin helps out a lot too (their political views are surprisingly similar). Anyway, white working class populists are dying to get back to the Democratic party, look at 2018! Perhaps a Sanders/Ojeda ticket anyone?? Overall, WV is tilt R; in a close race it could very well flip. Keep your eyes on those Mingo/McDowell county populists on election night. Mark my words.

Is this sarcasm or not? Because it's legitimately hard to tell.

Not sarcasm, if you look at the 2014 Senate - 2016 Gov - 2018 Senate trends, they are quite favorable to the Dems. I would expect them to pick up both houses of state legislature in 2020.

In an addendum to my previous post, I think the Democrat narrowly dodged a bullet in 2018 with Joe Manchin. Had they nominated Paula Jean-Sweargin, I think she would has at least got Jay Rockefeller numbers, possibly Robert Byrd numbers.

Okay, now you're f**king with me.
