    That was awesome!

      Some of the stats in that "article" were pretty surprising- like there's ONLY 75,000 coal workers. Which brings up the question- how in the world did that few workers have such a massive impact on the election? And that has been in pretty constant decline for over 80 years to reach that number.

      It was also fun to see coal CEO's proclaim their undying love for their miners, to only turn their backs to them at every emergency. They want to cut back on safety requirements, even in the face of deadly accidents. Or turn their backs to them when it comes to profits- cut some workers to save a few million, and then pay their executives over 10M in bonuses- when they don't actually do real work. Duh. They are such liars, it's no wonder they are buddies with don. Especially bob.

      I do hope bob goes after Oliver- that will be fun in court. You know HBO is totally ready for it, otherwise they would have never let him loose like that.

        75,000? I had heard 50,000-52,000 cited a number of times over the last two or three weeks. Did it grow by 25k?

          That's the number Oliver used- so without googling another source- I didn't bother to look it up.

          But your number questions their impact even more. How could so few have that much influence?

          As for the miners- it's not as if they support bob being a don clone- some of them sent back their bonus checks with some rather colorful language. I don't see them really wanting to reduce workplace safety laws that much.

            77k votes in 3 states won the election for Trump...that is how.

                Nope. Just idiots who don't vote or got emailed. Which will likely cause Minnesota to flip next cycle. We're on the brink.

                    Right...but you asked how such a small number of workers could have that kind of power and I gave you an example of how that few people can have a major impact.

                        Of course, but I don't know that the folks who got emailed are on that basis going to vote R again in 2018. It will need to be a different manufactured scandal.

                          Got emailed refers to folks who got duped by the email scandal.
