Have you lived there? Donyou understand the people?

I have lived there and it is a beautiful state. Dirt poor, horrible pay IF YOU cans find work. It helps to understand why they vote the way they do! No one cares one wit about the poor miners or ex-vets who live there until election day and then only while wanting their vote. Hillary is an excellent example of not caring how policy will affect them until of course the week before the vote.

Try compassion it works. Really!

You literally made that up out of thin air for a cheap shot. That is sad. Many parts of WV are beautiful. Some of it is also a visual depiction of the worst of humanity. Seems I have a better understanding of it than your utopian thoughts.

Again, not one word of my post displayed a lack of compassion as you have dishonestly insinuated.

The msm has been claiming for a while now that Clinton has this thing wrapped up. If that is the case then you'd think there would be less of a turnout to vote for Sanders and people would start getting on board with Hillary. Doesn't look like that's gonna happen. And that is freaking awesome
