...S2BU...sux to be you.

I know there were a lot of "red" counties that have a lot of blue in there and we need to ensure we're fighting for their appropriately necessary safety net. At the same time, most of coal country is red on red (with precincts of deep deep red) and they bought into the lie that he was going to bring back jobs. And he has...just this weekend 70 jobs got created at some mine in Ohio. 70 full time jobs. And, as the joke goes, Trump made sure to "alert the media".

Let's see...1,000,000 jobs in coal country AT ITS PEAK...70 new jobs...that's a 0.007 percent chance of getting one of those new jobs. Better to have these miners apply to Harvard, Princeton, or Ohio State...odds of acceptance are higher.

These guys should have thought about this long before today. So...S2BU.
