And that's why we love him.

The dude should be elected for the memes only.

I would be okay with him running for President again and having George Santos be his running mate.

George Santos won five non-consecutive Presidential terms in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. After a heated debate with Prime Minister Samuel Taylor Coleridge at the end of the 18th century, while he was Benedict Arnold's vice-president, he lost all interest in appearing on any future tickets.

Are they even gonna poll this race anymore

If Blankenship wins somehow, probably.

[Compuzled_One]

Alright, final predictions.

Republican:

70% Justice
26% Mooney
4% Others

Democratic:
57% Elliot
27% Shrewsbury
15% Blankenship

I think Shrewsbury would be an interesting perspective for WV Dems. He would be the first "working class"-centric guy in a deep red state, especially with the mesh of positions he has. Left-wing economic ideology (not just populism), pro-gun rights, sympathetic to the hardness of the transition away from coal and needing to find jobs, not a big supporter of funding Ukraine. Could he be an Ojeda-like guy (to a lesser extent), make a dent, but actually moving the WV Dems away from the national Dems in a left-wing fashion?

Either he has a legit chance of winning Tuesday, or he will crash as a social media darling of the WV left. We will find out Tuesday

You know, if Blankenship somehow wins and Manchin runs, Don only needs to pull 6% of the vote for Manchin to win if all those votes are from Justice, judging by that one September 2023 poll between independent Manchin and Justice. I don't think that percentage is unreasonable for Blankenship. Of course, it's likely many low-info Dems will vote Blankenship in November in this scenario, so that number could be in the 10-20% range, which is less reasonable.

Okay, there's a low amount of votes in the primaries, apparently. Who does that help?

outside of being pro gun he shares the same views as most progressives

Did Justice underperform in the primary? I feel like 62% isn't really that impressing.

That said, the GE is Safe R.
