Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
Coal industry employs 65k people. That's 0.1% of Trump voters. Even if there are 5 families that are supported by each coal miner (which sounds high)...that is approximately...um...0%.
Regardless of what you may believe, Trump won't be supporting the poor that voted for him. In the end, the effect of coal on this country's poor will be negligible and the GOP never, ever provides relief on taxes for the poor while typically making them pay more.

You know what the word example means, right? He didn't say the coal industry is the reason he won.

Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
Yeah. I was responding to a tangent off a detail. People have a tendency to pick at details here while missing the broader point.
The broader point is as I already said - which was counter to Walrus' broader point - is that Trump really only spent time campaigning on Coal. Did you hear anything in the debates about helping farmers? I didn't. He's talked about inner cities. Do you think he's going to going to spend much capital reinventing the ghettos? In the end, the GOP does the poor no favors in its tax policy and outside of his stated extreme focus on coal, the Trump presidency in all likelihood is a major net lose for the poor.

My information that I'd like to keep passing on is that if you say, "I just don't care" in the face of racism/misogyny/homophobia, then yes, you are those things.
So you admit your wrong, but who cares, because none of it really matters, right? Nobody is surprised you'd take the coward's way out again. You're even too pathetic to take ownership for your own behavior.

If you don't see why he pulled the farmers you haven't been paying attention. I've posted about it about 5 times.

And you're still wrong. Don't worry, you'll get it some day.
Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
I know why he won them. The same reason the GOP wins them every time. I also know he won't deliver.
One example that doesn't mention the word 'taxation': http://grist.org/briefly/the-farmers-who-voted-for-trump-may-be-in-for-disappointment/

I keep hearing comments like this as if it's a surprise.

That makes him different from other politicians?
Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
Just before the election, I saw a map out of a Stanford study that showed that Obama won the western half (rural areas) of western WI. From Madison westward to the Mississippi and north to Superior. I was surprised. When that vote had not yet come in...I relaxed a bit figuring that Hillary would win it also. She did not and that region of the country had one of the largest swings of support from D to R that occurred in this election and it cost WI.

Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
Yeah, it does. Remember that the stated primary goal of the GOP was to stop every single Obama policy. Trump has free reign...I'd bet you serious money he doesn't lower taxes on the poor.
Regardless, do you doubt that the Dems would try to raise taxes on the rich as promised? They say they're going to do it...and they try every time.

Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
BTW I wouldn't take that bet. Trump is going to make money for trump and all the friends of Trump(dead kennedys). As would Hilary
I'm pretty cynical, yes I doubt it. Did they do it when Obama had both the house and the senate?

Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
In that I have a right to be wrong, yes. Well, maybe being that stupid is a privilege, not a right. What do I know--my state voted for the guy.
Someday, Kelly Conway will be an interesting interview, though it will probably come in a book of her own. She's a pollster herself and has lived by them. Was she herself shocked by this?

It's called desperation. Anything to emotionally pull people back to their globalist rhetoric. Guess what, you lost. Take it on the chin. You bragged eight years ago about you survived Bush and we'll survive Obama? Well let me tell you something: We survived Obama. You will survive Trump.

Last I heard Trump got 4000 fewer votes in Wisconsin than Romney did. Clinton got 250,000 fewer than Obama. Just 10% of the missing Obama voters show up in Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, etc guess who wins...
