Hey everyone, put some plastic sheets down, because given the “how should we handle semi-repentant trump voters” discussion, your heads will asplode after reading this:

“I voted for him because it was about family and friends,” he said. “Nobody else was saying anything. Hillary Clinton was coming here blowing smoke up everybody’s ass. Hell, I wanted Bernie Sanders”—and he wasn’t the only one, obviously, as Sanders beat Clinton in the primaries in all 55 counties—“but once Bernie Sanders was screwed over by Hillary Clinton, by the way, you had no other option.”

He regrets his vote for Trump.

“Sure do,” he said.

Because?

“Because he hasn’t done shit,” he said. “It’s been a friggin’ circus for a solid year.”

Who said this, might you ask? Why, none other than the populist Democratic state senator who got this recent reception:

I can’t remember a politician getting a reception like this in a long time. I keep telling you guys, there’s something going on in West Virginia. https://t.co/nzbm0DXY1Y
