Democrat leads in deep-red W.Va. House district

© HillTV
Democratic state Sen. Richard Ojeda is leading the race for West Virginia's open 3rd Congressional District, a poll released Thursday shows, despite the fact that President Trump (AKA The Great Douche) won the district by more than 50 points in 2016.

Monmouth University polled the district using two distinct likely voter projections—one assuming a typical midterm electorate turns out in November, and another predicting a Democratic surge in opposition to Trump.

It’s not that surprising. A Democrat represented that district for over 30 years prior to 2014. This is exactly the kind of guy who can take the seat back. He’s not a radical loon like most of the people in your party

He voted for Trump, so you may want to rethink that.

Keep telling yourself that. Cons are dropping like flies in districts across the country that Trump won handily. And to lose a district he carried by 50 points?

Democratic registration still greatly outnumbers Republicans throughout West Virginia despite presidential election results, but you are obviously free to believe whatever you want.

You have an excuse that feels good. Good for you.

I don’t care who wins. I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat. I am one of the intelligent few. You’re the one lying awake at night about it

You looking in people's windows watching them sleep? You a peeping Tom? Every post you make is of the crazy angry conservative type so who exactly are you pretending to be?

And that is the limit for me for feckless convos like this. Flail away comrade.

That doesn't make you intelligent. It makes you apathetic and lazy.

If you want to be part of the herd be my guest. It's a semi-free country.

Conservative leaning Democrats play well in the Rust Belt. Connor Lamb already showed that. As you pointed out, this guy is touting that he voted for Trump. Throw in the mix that this is a midterm election and the party not in power usually has the edge.

So, again, to anybody who actually pays attention to the analytics of politics, his lead at this point in time is really not that shocking.

What herd is that? the herd that does the adulting and makes a choice at the polls? Until the system changes, there are typically only two people that can win an election. I hold my nose and vote for one. meanwhile, intellectually lazy people like you sit and point and just say everything sucks, so that you can never be "wrong" about any of it. Good for you.

Except for when they don't, like, for the last 5+ years. Are you *gasp* AGREEING with the OP, in that something is changing????

You choose to do that. It has nothing to do with the system and it doesn't need to be change. You're just one of the flock.

I've been saying all year that the Democrats will make gains in Congress and may very well take back the majority. Do you not agree?

Horseshit. My choice would be to publicly fund elections, so that other parties can field viable candidates. Yes, I choose to vote... I said as much ... and you choose to sit, point, and cackle, because that is easier. when "everything sucks", you can never be wrong. that makes you lazy. Your penchant for doing nothing because you think you can only do a little makes you apathetic.

In other words, you choose to protect incumbents.

Who said I didn't vote?

That doesn't follow at all. And I don't know if you have checked the scoreboard lately, but incumbents are very clearly protected in our current system. Like, to the tune of 90%. So you have a lot of splainin to do as to why changing the system would make that number higher. And, as usual... no alternative offered from you. nope, we wouldn't have to do the heavy lifting of providing argumentative support for saying something is GOOD instead of saying something SUCKS, right?

Who said I didn't vote?

My mistake, so you vote. By the way, I am neither republican or democrat. I don't always vote democrat, particularly at the local level. But it has been an easy choice for a liberal like me, on the national level.
