West Virginia also has Manchin, the newly turned Dem to Repub senator whose daughter owns Mylan, the corrupt pharma co. who infalted the price of epipens sky high after getting a law passed that requires schools buy them.

I wasn't aware of Manchin's daughter's connection to Mylan. Thanks for that. Btw, maybe you're thinking of the West Virginia governor Jim Justice who recently turned republican. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/03/jim-justice-party-change-republican-241300 I believe Manchin is still a dem. https://www.manchin.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/biography

Oh, maybe it wasn't Manchin who switched, I'm not sure. But I know that Trump had a rally there a few weeks ago and someone announced a party switch.

Okay. Yeah, that was the governor, Jim Justice.
