Don Blankenship Vows to Tank GOP's Chances to Win West Virginia Senate Seat

Despite losing the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in West Virginia Tuesday, Don Blankenship no doubt still enjoys some support in his home state. However, the former Senate candidate will not even try to persuade those who voted for him to cast their ballots for West Virginia Attorney General and GOP nominee for U.S. Senate Patrick Morrisey in November and he certainly has no intentions of supporting him himself.
“Don Blankenship will not be supporting Patrick Morrisey for U.S. Senate,” Greg Thomas, Blankenship’s campaign manager and advisor said Thursday, according to The Hill. “I think the one thing he is going to make sure doesn’t happen is that Patrick Morrisey does not become a U.S. Senator.”
Thomas’ comments begged the question: could Blankenship, the former Republican candidate, support Morrisey’s Democratic opponent, Sen. Joe Manchin, instead?
Manchin was asked about that possibility by Neil Cavuto Thursday on his Fox News show. Manchin said the two have not discussed it, but seemed open to the idea, even complimenting the former candidate as if to court Morrisey’s voters.

for integrity sake, that Manchin would throw Blankenship so far under a bus that he would be buried with the 29 miners he killed while raping West Virginia.
Blankenship is NOT the kind of support we need to win - anything - anytime - anywhere.
If we can't win without him, we have bigger problems than trying to figure out how to make this disgrace to humanity an ally of ours.
He KILLED people and RAPED the state - why is ANYBODY listening to him??
“I think the one thing he is going to make sure doesn’t happen is that Patrick Morrisey does not become a U.S. Senator.”
So, he's going to make sure he DOES become Senator?
