[Staph]

It is supposed to be announced at the Trump rally in Huntington, WV, this evening.

Well, crap.

1. He is giving the traitor cover, which means he himself is a ....

[ret5hd]

2. "...a coal magnate and the wealthiest man in West Virginia..."

Why did we back him in the first place?

[Staph]

6. His opponent for governor in 2016

was the state senate president, and a used car dealer who fought against lemon laws and car sales without local dealers (Tesla). It wasn't an inspiring choice.

There were a couple of good Democrats in the primary, but they were both underfinanced. Justice is the richest man in the state.

8. Underfinanced...underfinanced...

I wonder what would help that?

Oh well, I guess we'll never know.

4. Switching BACK to the Republican Party

He's been a DINO for only 2 years.

This is about coal. He really thinks the moron in the WH is going to make it the primary fuel.

No way, Slick, we remember what it was like the last time that was done.

5. What type of person thinks this is the party to switch to

From any political position? Seriously. Clearly DINO

[Tanuki]

7. He was never really a Democrat in the first place. He only

became a Democrat because he would have less competition in the primary. He was always a Repblican or Independent in the past. He is also a personal friend of the soon-to-be indicted traitor in chief, so I hope this haunts him for the rest of his time in public life.

why everyone thinks they're backwards.
This.

10. He checks, every morning, which way the politacal wind is blowing

[WV Democrat 59]

11. West Virginia needs real Democrats

As a Democrat I’m piss that Jim Justice got himself elected as the governor of West Virginia as a Democrat and now is switching parties. The West Virginia Democratic Party should sue his ass for failure to fulfill his duties as the elected Democratic governor of this state. If he wants to be a Republican then he can switch parties at the end of his term. West Virginia needs real Democrats to run for and get elected to office not turn coats like Justice.

12. Welcome to DU!

Justice owes the Democratic Governor's Association one million dollars that they gave him for the general election. I hope they sue his ass!
