WV Governor Justice made a mistake switching parties and here is why.

Justice has to first win in the Republican primary before he ends on the November General Election ballot in 2020.
What are Justice's chances in winning in the Republican primary against a Tea Party Republican candidate in West Virginia?
WV Republican primary voters are more conservative than the National Republican primary voters.
Justice was better off remaining as a Zell Miller/Joe Manchin Democrat.
Is Justice more or less conservative than Shelly Moore Capito?
