We need to get rid of all industries to avoid using fossil fuels. Let's just all sit and eat grass. Do Hillary supporters really know her stance on this?

Hillary supporters don’t care.She is an unindicted criminal and they know it. She allowed Americans to die in Benghazi and they know it. She took bribes in the form of dough-nations to the Clinton Foundation and they know it.

What makes you think this will be a deal breaker for them?

It may be their jobs that might get lost. That should bring them up to reality, one would hope.

Many don’t realize that elections really matter for their personal situation too.
