Other polls are not so optimistic - once people are given more details. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/voters-who-like-medicare-for-all-may-not-like-single-payer.html

Is there another language you’d like me to try to explain the semi-open primary to you?

So you went the intellectual route with your retort?

It isn’t the author’s thesis that the ad is racist and I’m not defending the ad but whatever. If you don’t understand how the Senate works, you need more help than I can give you.

I hope that the tide will turn back from red to blue in WV in the future but I don’t see it happening anytime soon. If any of the Dem candidates for any of the 3 Congressional seat is able to win, I will take that as a very hopeful sign.

Because I don’t know who you are and I haven’t seen all your other comments everywhere.

Why don’t we see if Ojeda is even able to win his Congressional race before we start thinking about state-wide elections?

There are a lot of things being pushed by the GOP that are against the better interests of the people in WV. That doesn’t stop them from being hard- core Trumpers.

Many of them are still mad that Joe voted against the ACA repeal and “tax reform.” They’re even still mad that he and Pat Toomey introduced a gun background…

Very few immigrants live here in WV. They don’t even like white people who moved here from another state. I came from Missouri and I will always be suspect. However, the Fox News mentality is very strong here. He is having to defend voting against the ACA repeal and against “tax reform.” Those votes were very…

But Joe Manchin never promised Mexico would pay for the wall. Why would he say that?

Right. If being a moron means wanting to keep that seat in Dem hands.

Ms. Roller, are you a Republican? Because I live in WV and when I read ignorant comments like yours, I truly suspect you’re somehow connected with Patrick Morrissey’s campaign.

While I have noticed that just about anybody can get a job writing about politics for Splinter, I wonder if you understand the stakes in the…

Paula Jean Swearingen may have nice sounding ideology, but she is completely unqualified for the 3rd highest elective office in the country. Justice Dems is just one of a long line of outside groups that have tried to manipulate WV to serve their own ends. She never had any chance of winning, and it is highly likely…

WV is a beautiful state. It’s people have been exploited and ripped off for hundreds of years. Most recently the exploiters are in right-wing media - an entity whose specialty is ginning up resentment among rural white people. WV is a wonderful place to be. Come visit and I’ll show you. You aren’t going to change…

Don’t call someone else a dumbass when you are the one who is off topic. The subject is this years US Senate election. Not some future imagined by someone I am willing to bet has never set foot in WV. (I live here.)

Ojeda is not on the ballot for US Senate. That’s it. End of story. He’s running for a Congressional seat.

You really have to be uninformed if you think the alternative to Joe Manchin is “nothing”.

Bernie Sanders is a fraud who misled a lot of politically naive people, who barely understand how the government of their own country operates, that he could possibly do any of what he promised (under the best of circumstances, let alone in light of his own legislative history of complete under-achievement). He…

Jefferson City may not be a huge place, but it is the capital of MO so you’d think there’d be just a little more sophistication there. I lived in Kansas City for most of my life until 6 years ago. KC and St. Louis like different worlds compared to the rest of MO but it’s the state capital FFS.

An entire generation of kids are growing up with serious trauma inflicted by those who are supposed to protect them. Or in situations where they are supposed to be safe, but aren’t.

There have always been situations in which kids are traumatized, sometimes because of the behavior of their own parents. We know what the …
