Don Blankenship makes a compelling argument - pdq - 05-04-2018
...that is, if you're a hick back-country racist:
Ex-con coal baron Don Blankenship has arguably hit a new low in his bid to face Sen. Joe Manchin (R-WV), going after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) “China family” in a new ad with just days to go until the GOP primary.
“Swamp captain Mitch McConnell has created millions of jobs for China people. While doing so, Mitch has gotten rich. In fact, his China family has given him tens of millions of dollars,”
Understand, Blankenship is not even running against McConnell, or McConnell's wife, Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao (arguably the most competent and experienced member of the Trump cabinet.) Chao appears to only serve as a most tenuous link to exploit the racism of Blankenship's base in this ad.
Blankenship, if anyone has forgotten, is a multimillionaire coal mine owner who is still on parole for his role in failing to prevent a 2010 mine disaster that killed 29 of his workers.
But at least he aint no chink, ya know?
(...and they think this guy may actually have a chance of winning the GOP nom. (shiver))

please please please let him violate campaign finance laws, which will result in a parole violation, which will result him going to jail. AFTER winning the nomination.
Really it's almost guaranteed. These guys just can't help themselves. They see a law, or a woman, and can't help but violate it / them.

Does TPM seriously refer to the incumbent senator as "Sen. Joe Manchin (R-WV)"?

Heh. Freudian slip on their part, I think.

Yeah, sure. Mitch McConnell's wife just happens to be the most competent choice for cabinet member in all of America. No payoff involved there!
What a load of garbage.

No no no no no.
Of the Trump cabinet, she is perhaps the most competent (or at least the most experienced).
That first clause sets a low bar indeed.

45 just came out against him, saying remember Alabama. I wonder if 45 will be all for him once he wins the primary, just like we remember in Alabama.

President Donald Trump warned West Virginia voters to “remember Alabama” on Tuesday when they cast ballots in the state’s Republican primary, cautioning them against supporting coal baron Don Blankenship’s bid to win a GOP Senate nomination.
“To the great people of West Virginia we have, together, a really great chance to keep making a big difference,” Trump wrote on Twitter Monday morning. “Problem is, Don Blankenship, currently running for Senate, can’t win the General Election in your State...No way! Remember Alabama. Vote Rep. Jenkins or A.G. Morrisey!”
