RUSH: Cameron in St. Louis. Great to have you, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you, Rush. The pleasure\u2019s all mine. So changing gears a little bit from previous conversation today, there\u2019s a big Senate race, as you know, going on in West Virginia.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s a real chance for the Republicans to defeat Senator Joe Manchin. Lots of sites list it as a toss-up. The primary is tomorrow, and it\u2019s really, really close, and this morning President Trump tweeted to stay away from Don Blankenship because of his past deeds and just because he essentially seems to be unelectable.<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is the guy that\u2019s calling Mitch McConnell “Cocaine Mitch,” right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Cocaine Mitch. He dubbed him that. He got four Pinocchios on the Washington Post, things like that. So he doesn\u2019t seem to be an electable guy. So President Trump, what he did was tweeted his support for two people. He said, “Don\u2019t vote for Don Blankenship. You should vote for either Congressman Evan Jenkins or Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.” So that concerns me a little bit because he\u2019s endorsing two people. My thought is what happens if that vote splits?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, but, it\u2019s a primary. See, he cannot endorse… Believe me, it\u2019s problematic to endorse one over another in a primary here, \u2019cause he doesn\u2019t want… One of them may win. He doesn\u2019t want the guy mad at him. So he\u2019s asking people to avoid Blankenship, whatever. He said remember Alabama. Clarion call, remember Roy what\u2019s-his-face. Yeah, Roy Moore. Don\u2019t want the same thing to happen.<\/p>\n
I understand him not doing it. You would think if he endorsed one of those guys then one of those guys would have a better chance of winning and that way cut into the whatever damage Blankenship\u2019s gonna do. You may have a point, but I just don\u2019t see how he could endorse one of these two guys so he\u2019s trying to endorse both of them. We\u2019ll see what happens. The fact that Blankenship is attracting a crowd is its own interesting talking point to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
