West Virginia Rethuglicans will have a choice in their May 8 primary of whether or not to select villainous ex-con and sociopath Don "Big Shit" Blankenship as their candidate for Senate, to go against Dem Sen. Joe Manchin. Big Shit's opposed by two other Rethuglicans, as well as Senate Majority leader and turtle-human hybrid Sen. Mitch "Missy" McConnell's political machine. We've followed Big Shit's ignominious career since 2010, when his skirting of mine safety regulations caused the Upper Big Branch Creek mine disaster, which resulted in the deaths of 29 miners. Thanks to his influence in the state, Big Shit was only sentenced to a year in prison for his role, a little under 2 weeks per miner.
Big Shit's campaign messaging is that the Washington "Republican Establishment" is against him because he'll come in and help fellow sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump "drain the swamp." He's recently targeted Missy's wife's family for a conflict of interest involving China trade. In return, McConnell-connected political funds have been paying for attack ads against Big Shit to deny him the Rethuglican ballot position, feeling that he's their least likely candidate to unseat Manchin in November (otherwise, he fits the Rethug base to a "t").
It would be poetic justice if Big Shit dumped on (sorry) the other two Rethug candidates and became the face of the party that so richly deserves him.
