I am not going to give him a win on the coal industry. He has been good for the mine owners, not the mine workers. -- nm - crash davis Jul 16, 10:24 6
- I wouldn't either (taxes for the same reason), but if that demographic tipped the election in his favor and he's boosted their economy on paper - Max Jul 16, 10:31 5

    - this, to me, is the source of Democratic despair - Reagen Jul 16, 11:13
  - From what I've seen (and I certainly can be wrong) the economy in coal country hasn't been helped all that much relative to the rest of the country. -- nm - crash davis Jul 16, 10:36 2
    - Doesn’t matter if they are actually being helped, it only matters that they think they are being helped. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 16, 10:46 1
      - This is what I'm getting at. -- nm - Max Jul 16, 10:48
Supreme Court and it won't be close right now. Maybe tax cuts depending on how the next few years play out. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 16, 10:24 1
