I spoke with Troy Miller, executive producer of the Zero Hour, in his capacity as a member of the Executive Committee of the West Virginia Democratic Party.
We discussed the party’s recent adoption of an updated version of FDR’s Economic Bill of Rights. Could it revive their political fortunes? Here’s a clue, from something I wrote several years ago and never published. It concerns McDowell County, WV, the state’s poorest county, which I researched as Bernie Sander’s speechwriter for a speech he gave there in 2016. Troy N. Miller: WV Democrats Adopt 21st c. Economic Bill of Rights! youtu.
7 percent of eligible voters voted in McDowell’s general election, versus 56.9 percent nationwide. “Trump country”? Nationally, 27 percent of eligible voters cast their ballots for Donald Trump. In McDowell, that percentage was a slightly lower 26.45 percent. Yes, Trump won decisively in McDowell among those who voted. But McDowell County isn’t “Trump country.” It’s “ of the Above” country.
