As white as Ojeda might seem at first glance, his paternal grandfather was an illegal immigrant from Mexico

Bernie broes love purity tests for you not for them, they claim hillary judgement is terrible because she voted for the war in iraq yet they are propping up this idiot who voted for trump when trump said he would kill the family of terrorists and when trump insulted veterans. They dont give a shyt about purity what they want is a white male dominance in progressive politics, this is why bernie sanders is so dangerous and his far left goons.

West Virginia Democrats are a different breed, didn't they give a jailed felon 40% of the vote against Obama in 2012. I am not surprised Ojeda voted Trump and will probably blame economic anxiety.Apparently he said he has never voted for any Democrat in presidential elections. He is going to be the face of "we need to appeal to white working class" types

Eh. Democrats think he's a wild card thats all. They think his backstory would be attractive to Independents and maybe steal a few moderates but aside from legalizing Marijuana his platform is not that progressive.

Its hard to explain my issue with him. I just don't sense sincerity from him. Like, he is the type of guy I believe would be propped up by the Washington class as who they think would be a good candidate to fix their perceived "white working class' problem but at the end of the day is just another moderate. He is pro-coal. I understand he is from West Virginia but this position ignores reality and instead he needs to focus on helping and encourage West Virginia to diversify their economy.

If I was a talking head or political consultant type who stays in Washington 24/7 I would think this guy looks great on paper because he seems like a caricature, a stereotype of what I would think a "working class white" politican should be.

I don't know if this makes sense. I guess I'm saying it seems so inauthentic. I rather this guy run for the other senate seat in West Virginia and see what his voting record and patterns are before even thinking about the presidency.

My guess, the media in the early days of the primaries will say he is the dark horse and will win the white house. Chris Matthews will hop up and down in his seat about him but he will fizzle out quickly.

I'm still on my Chris Murphy and Sherrod Brown bandwagon. If either runs, depending on how the entire field looks, they will probably get my vote.
