"Arrr, David Marcus be sayin’: In West Virginia, ye can spy what Democrats be losin’ faster than a ship in a storm!"

Arrr! David Marcus be feastin' alongside a crew o' West Virginia scallywags, savin' his belly from hunger, while learnin' how the Democrats be sinkin' faster than a ship o' fools in the Mountaineer State! Aye, a fine tale of blundering mateys!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout the political tides in West Virginia! In the year of our Lord 2016, a jolly fellow by the name of Jim Justice donned the cap o' a Democrat and took the governor's ship. But lo! Only two years later, the crafty Joe Manchin secured his Senate place, holdin' tight to the Democratic flag amidst the mountains.But the winds of change be blowin' fierce, as Justice now sails with the Republicans, lookin' to flip that Senate seat like a ship’s coin. West Virginia be a land where old-school Democrats linger like barnacles, but the new crew be abandonin' the center for uncharted waters!
At a recent breakfast gathering of fine gents discussin' theology and politics, it struck me how these hearty souls, once staunch Democrats, have shifted their allegiance. The good pastor from Mississippi spoke of flags and the slippery slopes of change, all while blessin' our Chick-fil-A bounty!
The last Democrat to claim the presidential prize in these here mountains was the Southern gent, Bill Clinton, back in '96. Now, with Jim Justice at the helm, the ol’ ship may sail further to the right, leavin' the Democrats adrift in the sea of lost opportunities. Arrr, what a tangled web we weave in the land of coal and camaraderie!
