[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump and his supporters are correctly identifying the Clintons and Obama (and GWB) as being worse than useless when it comes to fighting for good-paying jobs for blue-collar workers, since they cravenly served Wall Street, big importers, and the forces of globalization.  So Trump comes along and actually makes this connection and the OP has the sheer gall to try to spin this story that Hillary is a better choice?  What was Hillary saying about the Asia trade deal when she was SOS?  Here's a secret:  she was pushing for it hard even though it was obviously anti-blue-collar. [/quote]

Trump has not outlined anything, except "get rid of the immigrants" which will not have that much effect on jobs. I happen to agree with him, but don't plan to vote for him.  The answers to the job questions are complicated because some industries are really slowing down while others are picking up. The working class people I know don't want to move for better, or any jobs. We are white collar and they seem to think we are stupid for moving for better job opportunities, and tell me so to my face. They was the answers to be simple, and for everything to continue as it always has in their lifetimes.

For example: Hillary is not eliminating coal jobs,  [b]the gas industry and cheap gas is taking the place of coal.[/b] Coal workers don't like hearing that, or hearing that they may need to move or retrain. [/quote]

This is one piece of it.  A large part of the decimation of the coal industry are the policies of the left.
