West Virginia Coal Association endorses Trump over Clinton

During the debates, Hillary Clinton somewhat famously told that nation, “we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.” Do you suppose the people in West Virginia noticed? Even if they missed the live coverage of the event, they’ve been reminded of it plenty of times since then, and only a few days before the primary on Tuesday the powerful West Virginia Coal Association has jumped in with an endorsement of her opponent.

Now that's just plain weird. Didn't she just go to W Va with bonnet in hand and apologize to the coal miners and promise them she really didn't mean she was going to put "them" out of work but someone else? How about the union bosses? They still on the side of the hildebeast?

She said many time that she will continue obummer’s agenda. What more can she say to the coal miners?

“The Symptoms of Alcoholic Dementia

The symptoms of alcoholic dementia will depend on the stage of the syndrome. The individual who develops Wernicke’s encephalopathy can experience:

* Mental confusion
* Agitation and paranoia
* Lack of muscle coordination (ataxia)
* Eye problems including involuntary eye movements, unequal pupils, and impaired eye movement.

If the individual is habitually intoxicated it can be difficult to diagnose Wernicke’s encephalopathy. This is because they may be confused and uncoordinated due to alcohol. It is only when these symptoms remain while sober that they become more obvious. Later Wernicke’s encephalopathy can progress to Korsakoff psychosis and the symptoms can include:

* The inability to create new memories
* False memories
* The loss of memories
* Hallucinations

If Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome is not treated it will progress to coma and death.”

This is just the beginning. Trump is going to take it right to Hillary. She will not know what hit her.

She promised them all sorts of freebies; assistance, government jobs training, employment help. Promised all sorts of things for their communities. Their spokesman said they do not want handouts.

I am sure she cannot comprehend why they would support Trump. After all she promised them after she takes all their jobs she will put them on the gravy train. She is likely in shock that there are people who don’t want to trade their jobs for handouts.

Trump needs to get his blue collar supporters to put pressure on their union leaders to cut the money spigot to Hillary and contribute to Trump.

The unions will parrot Hillary Clinton...but in the real of politics, of today, watch the Coal Miners, the Gas Field workers, the UAW workers, the Steel Workers, the Teamsters, etc., quietly back Donald J. Trump!!! Blue Collar America is going big time for Donald J. Trump!!! Hillary Clinton is toast.

Saw a man on the street gotcha piece a while back in NYC and looked to me like a whole bunch of hard hats/construction/union types were siding with Trump.

Rich Trumka is going to have a hard time explaining to his fellow UMW members why they should vote for Hillary.

"Rich Trumka is going to have a hard time explaining to his fellow UMW members why they should vote for Hillary."

Not really, The WV Coal Association is an organization that represents the owners or bosses in the coal industry. Therefore if the bosses are for Trump, the UMWA is going to be against him. The natural order of things in WV.

The UMW can say they want Hillary all that they want...but the miners will vote 95% or more for Trump...and so will their families. Oh, and the next time the union has elections, someone else will be in charge.
