I can't withhold my joy following the May 8th, 2018 primaries in four states:

1. Indiana
2. North Carolina
3. Ohio
4. West Virginia

The US Senate GOP primary in West Virginia was not only contentious, but worrisome. Would establishment candidate Evan Jenkins make it? What about that Blakenship guy, a convicted felon who had violated mining laws and endangered the lives of his workers?

The best candidate was — and it — Patrick Morrisey. A conservative, concerned citizen, and well-read attorney general is the best candidate going forward to fight for working West Virginians.

But … within days of the primary, it looked as if the convicted felon was going to win the primary. The shock poll had everyone worried.

But … Morrisey pulled it off!

Here's the full report from the Senate Conservatives Fund:

Arthur:

We are very proud to report that Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, our endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate in West Virginia, won the Republican nomination yesterday.

Morrisey won this race despite the fact that Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his political machine supported liberal Congressman Evan Jenkins (R-WV) and despite the fact that he was massively outspent by Don Blankenship (R-WV).

This is a major victory for conservatives, but now we need to help Morrisey defeat liberal Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV).

Please help replace a liberal Democrat with a strong conservative by making a contribution to Patrick Morrisey's campaign.

SCF will pay all processing fees and transfer 100% of your contribution to his grassroots campaign.

Individuals are allowed to donate up to $2,700 to Morrisey for the general election and couples can give up to $5,400. But any amount will help him get his message out, win this seat, and become a powerful voice for conservatives in the Senate.

Please make a contribution of $25, $50, $100, or more to Patrick Morrisey's U.S. Senate campaign.

Thank you for making this victory possible. Your support for SCF and Patrick Morrisey has put us in a place where we can elect someone who will truly fight for our principles.

Sincerely,
"Ken

Now, what about Joe Manchin, the embattled incumbent?

Well, he was facing a primary challenge from the left, a Bernie-crat socialist who wanted the government to do more for the hurting West Virginians, when government excesses are causing the rising poverty and privation.

Men need work, and Washington DC has spent more time undermining the working classes and backbone industries which have made America great and kept the country independent from foreign influence and intervention.

Manchin won his primary, but with 60% of the vote. Nearly 40% of West Virginia Democrats wanted someone else besides Manchin. This guy is not only facing a tough general election, but it looks as though the state is going to become a GOP sweep from top to bottom.

There is no way Manchin can survive now, especially with a candidate so well-liked by the President and the manifold coalition of Trump supporters who define West Virginia today.
