    Billionaire Duplicat-Governor of West, by God, Virginia,
    transforms into Replicant-Governor, right before our eyes.

    Like magic.

    HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Bragging about keeping his promises on immigration, the economy, the environment and crime, President Trump celebrated on Thursday with a raucous West Virginia crowd as the state’s Democratic governor announced that he will switch to the Republican Party.

    With Gov. Jim Justice by his side, Mr. Trump hailed stock market records and the growth of coal income in West Virginia. And he delivered a lengthy critique of the federal investigations of his campaign’s ties to Russia, calling the matter “a fake story that is demeaning to all of us.” His comments came just hours after reports that a grand jury had been impaneled in the Russia investigation and that subpoenas had been issued.

    “Most people know there were no Russians in our campaign; there never were,” Mr. Trump told the crowd in a midsize rural town that drew thousands of supporters from across Appalachia, a region that gave Mr. Trump some of the largest margins of his election. “We didn’t win because of Russia; we won because of you,” he said. “Are there any Russians here tonight? Any Russians?”

    The president also demanded that Congress pass a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, urging the crowd to call their lawmakers so they will have “the guts” to take a vote. He vowed to reduce taxes, continue to crack down on immigrants, and rebuild the country’s infrastructure.

    The crowd welcomed the announcements, cheering heartily when Mr. Justice officially abandoned the Democratic Party, and repeatedly applauding for Mr. Trump, waving “Women for Trump” and “Make America Great Again” signs.

    What’s your personal take on him, WV?

    This part of Trump’s speech struck me as especially moronic:

    “Most people know there were no Russians in our campaign; there never were,”

    It’s as if he thinks most adults don’t get that people can cut deals across national borders. Ya know, people from different countries and all. Like, um, you don’t have to have actual Russians in your campaign to collude with them. And, of course, it helps that so many live in Trump Tower in the first place.

    WV, I seriously can’t wait until all of this is over, if I survive it, that is . . .

    Hope all is well —

    Well, see I just think Trump has been evil-ly-brilliant since his loss on Obamacare. He’s switched channels and gone straight to what his base loves — immigration and hatred of the elite-media.

    I think his remarks about russia are dead perfect for his base. They love it.

    The next election will probably be another close one, i guess, BT. I dunno. Unless Bernie somehow gets the nomination. And the Dems are in bloodbath mode against Bern.
