Border counties in KY, OH and PA went big for Trump.

Expect the same in WVA next week.

The swing started back with the emergence of the Reagan Democrats and continues today. The thing is Appalachia does not have enough voters thus electoral clout to make a difference in national elections.

Obama, with Hillary’s blessing...have ravaged Appalachia.

And those people know it.

Look for all of those states to be in play for Trump.

It takes a liberal to think they can strut around with their envirofriends and gleefully declare that they plan to kill a state’s industry and then expect the people of that state to worship them when they visit to campaign. Even union members are not that brain dead.

West Virginia hasn’t gone for a Democrat since 1996. It was never Hillary Clinton country.

I don’t mean to offend anyone but listening yesterday to the laid off miner I couldn’t help but think WV voted for Obama TWICE knowing what he planned to do. I have sympathy for anyone wanting a good paying job and not having one but these last 8 years should have been a reason to maybe plan for your circumstances.

NO ONE is going to save you. YOU have to save yourself.

The man spoke on Cavuto’s show and kept saying God this and God that. I understand having faith but that won’t feed your family. The government is not going to take care of you. Sitting and waiting gets you nothing.

You could include Indiana in the same group. Trump won all but two counties in Indiana. Boatloads of disaffected blue collar workers that want jobs.

I live in Appalachia, and IMO if it wasn't for the anti-coal crusade it would still be solid Democrat.

The folks here still love their trial lawyers, their disability fraud, and their government cheese.
