A little racist!?

In 2012, when Obama ran for reelection unopposed in the primary, Keith Judd, an inmate sitting in a federal prison in Texas won a stunning 41 percent of the Democratic primary vote in the state.

A year later, 38 percent of Democrats in the state told pollsters they wanted to impeach the president, according to a Public Policy Polling survey. West Virginia has given Obama his lowest approval rating of all 50 states – just 24 percent in 2013, according to Gallup.

West Virginia is a prime example of voters who vote against their own best interest time and time again.

when it was a stronghold for all the Dixiecrat, States Rights, segregationist policies. It used to be that the Democrats were the go to party for those voters and that is one of the reasons MLK was a Republican. Hope the Sander's supporters are proud.

Trump has no opponent so all of the GOP assholes are screwing with us by trying to get the weakest candidate elected.
