In reply to the discussion: 'I think Trump needs to show his face': Laid-off miners losing faith... [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)20. Hillary had a workable plan for them.
They welcomed a con artist in, gave him a hard hat and he ran his con, faking shoveling coal. They chanted "lock her up" at his cue. They are now getting what con artists always deliver.
I don't feel sorry for the ones that went to Trump rallies and who voted for him, as I don't feel sorry for farmers that did the same. I do feel sorry for the miners among them who saw the con and voted for Hillary's doable plan, like I feel sorry for farmers that saw what Trump was and voted for Hillary.
All of us are in some type of soup now, the question will some of those that got conned allow themselves to get conned again.
