12. Here is my reality

Sun Oct 7, 2018, 10:34 AM

Oct 2018

Our region depends on manufacturing, all union jobs. Our town was seriously hurting with unemployment, stores closed, and empty houses after two large employers shut down and the third downsized to one shift.

What used to be a democratic stronghold almost completely turned to Trump on the hope of jobs. Today there is full employment, stores have reopened, and neighborhoods are back to normal.

How do you get these people to turn from Trump? They look at him as a savior.
