Yet another example of the cost of nominating a crooked liar.

I personally watched Trump promise the people of West Virginia that coal would come back.
He did it more than once.
The second time, he had more people outside the convention hall than he had inside.
It was a cynical lie.
Barring some kind of miracle, coal will never come back and any simpleton can figure that out.

West Virginia, some sections of western PA, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio have 3rd world economies.

The problem is that the party that once championed working people is now controlled by Wall Street pawns like Schumer and Pelosi who worry more about where someone can pee than whether someone can eat.
