West Virginia's Democratic allegiance lasts all the way through the end of the 20th century, and still leans blue all the way through the so-called GOP 'southern strategy' of Nixon and Reagan. It's the only plausibly Southern state voting for Dukakis in 88 https://t.co/7DY35WhKZb — PolitiTweet.org

I should also note that WV was entirely unpersuaded by Wallace in 68 (Thurmond wasn't even on the ballot) https://t.co/SmoafRyMYj — PolitiTweet.org

The fifth strongest correlate of Trump support was percent supporting segregationist George Wallace in 1968 https://t.co/aicc40hMo0

When you put it all together, WV is the only plausibly Southern state--or even *area*, to add in eastern TN--that fits all of these things: --votes GOP post-war --leans Dem post-New Deal, and post-Civil Rights/southern strat --doesn't even trend R post-48 --below avg for Wallace — PolitiTweet.org
