Please tell me the economic reasons these hillbillies vote republican.
Is it property taxes being lowered.
Why would some poor schmuck working in a coal mine vote for Trump from an economic standpoint.
Hillary and Democrats ignored meat and potatoes issues. They didn't want to hear about medical coverage for union members. They wanted to hear about jobs for those out of work. They wanted concrete answers about re-training instead of bullshyt about the need for more studies.
Democrats not only ignored them, but seemed to put foreigners -- illegal jobs, illegal education, illegal housing, illegal aid -- before citizens. Democrats talked down to them on the one hand and insulted them on the other.
Just a terrible campaign. And this is how we got Trump. This is how Democrats will continue to lose to the Trumps of the world.
Doesn't matter that Trump sucked. Trump put himself out there. Will Democrats? Or will it be four years of I told you so followed by 2004 part II?
