Why the f**k would Ojeda switch parties? The guy probably joins the CPC if he wins this year.
Yea he is nowhere near as conservative as Justice was campaigning, Ojeda is very different ideologically but not a blue dog or conservadem

Anyone who thinks Ojeda is going to switch parties after getting elected to Congress is a moron.

Ojeda if he does win should challenge Justice in 2020 hes the perfect candidate for it

Only if we want a second in a row Democratic governor defecting to the GOP in their 1st year.

This. The guy may be pro-union, but his pro-Trump statements and anti-Manchin vendetta makes me nervous. If he wins a House seat, pat him on the back and let him be. (Although he may be the most viable Moore Capito challenger come 2020.)

Ojeda would never join the Republicans. That much is obvious if you've spent even a few minutes listening to him speak about issues. If any defection were to occur, it would be him becoming an independent - and before you say "what about his political career?" or "that wouldn't be a viable strategy", spend some time learning about his M.O. and past political involvement. He really just doesn't give a f[inks]k about what is politically-savvy or what you think of him if it conflicts with his beliefs.

...anti-Manchin vendetta makes me nervous.

Manchin is part of the conservative faction of the WV Democrats. Overtly loathing Manchin would normally indicate a Democrat having fairly left-wing leanings.

There's a bigger chance that Bernie Sanders becomes a Republican than Ojeda. If Ojeda hates the way the Democrats run things in Washington he'll go 3rd party. Ojeda would rather go down fighting than compromise his beliefs.

West Virginia republicans are not attacking Ojeda for being on the government dole:



Of course, she fails to mention that said "government money" is a military pension earned after 4 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. The West Virginia GOP has no idea what to do with Ojeda.

To be fair, she probably meant his Senate salary...but yeah, poorly thought out on her part, and it gives Ojeda a huge opening to attack them for attacking his military service; puts the state party on defense.



EDIT: and bingo:

Not just fight, he wins.

WVGOP proving their utter incompetence and that they've got no idea what to do with him I see.

Tossup imo, can't wait for legitimate polling that shows Ojeda ahead of any R.

And even me, an ardent ESS JAY DOUBLE-U loves that he used "defended America from radical Islamic terrorism."

He's gonna get 60% of the vote.

Nah, this one will be down to the wire, but he has a real chance of winning which is pretty remarkable.

Not really, Ojeda just won a twitter exchange (albeit in rather impressive fashion).

I mean, the fact that the WVGOP chair thought it was a good idea to mock him for his military pension is telling. What a bunch of incompetent morons.

Solid's already a moron for saying Ojeda won't win, that's just trying to be the most moronic person on Atlas, in the running against LimoLiberal

Finally, here's a Democrat who fights! He definitely figured out a winning strategy by not compromising his values and fighting for them. I won't be surprised to see him not only win this house election but the presidency some day.

Ojeda is doing a live stream tonight about the attacks he received from the GOP chair. He's gonna tear her apart.
