Bernie would have lost West Virginia without the Trump supporters

50. She lost West Virginia so you need to come up with some reason for that, I get that.

It amazes me that in States like WV, where 30% turnout among registered voters is considered to be very high turnout anyone can buy into theories involving highly committed, organized masses of voters crossing to vote for the other Party in some contrived scheme to alter the outcome. If such things were actual electoral realities any Party or candidate could erase such possible influence simply by turning out more voters. 70% of registered voters did not even vote. The winner of both Party primaries, as always was Apathy. 70% chose silence. 70% of all registered voters left their vote on the table. That's not even talking about eligible but not registered voters of which WV has more than they have voters. Yeah.

I'd say focus on all those votes laying around, sleeping on sofas and binge watching Game of Thrones instead of casting a ballot and all these dramatic theories would become moot. Of course that takes work, in advance and in this case in WV and who the fuck wants to go organize there, eh? Apparently not the Clinton campaign.....
