I could see it as "this was something that helped him win the first time and despite acting on the issue during his presidency, he still lost reelection"

Bush's successes are much more bipartisan I think. It's harder to go agree on what a "success" is with Trump because I keep imagining the long term consequences. But really this is all about "theoretically he should have handily won reelection because he accomplished [xyz]"

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
