“To the great people of West Virginia,” President Trump tweeted Monday morning, “we have, together, a really great chance to keep making a big difference. 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!”

This was Trump’s way of warning Republican voters in the Mountain State to stay away from Blankenship, the erratic ex-con whom Democrats have spent more than $1 million trying to help win the GOP nomination.
