Facing a backlash from Appalachian Democrats, Hillary Clinton’s campaign on Monday tried to reaffirm her commitment to coal communities one day after declaring on national television she was going to “to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.”
Clinton’s comments came during a Sunday night appearance on CNN, where she was asked a question about how her policies would benefit poor white people in southern states who generally vote Republican. […]
Clinton was touting a plan she released last year that would set aside $30 billion to protect the health benefits for coal miners and their families. But her quip about putting coal miners out of business gave Republicans a perfect soundbite to use against her in states like Kentucky and West Virginia, where the party has made historic gains in coal communities in recent years by running against President Barack Obama’s energy policies. …

Throw some money at them, then forget them.
She’s a doozy of a candidate...
One day she is getting rid of your job, the next day, oops...
A future includes DOWN. Shrillary hates the politically incorrect more than Zer0.
Too late, Hillary. Now they know you’re a job-killer.
I remember reading a Rolling Stone article about the 1968 campaign. They didn’t like Nixon, but they weren’t too keen on H.H. Humphrey, either. They said “he campaigned with all the dignity of a rat in heat.”
The phrase stuck in my mind, and is resurfacing again after many years. It certainly describes Hillary’s panderfest, Rubio’s frenetic, robotic talking points, and the whole Media “let’s jump on Trump” mentality. No class at all.
SHE IS A LIAR!!
She screwed up.
When I read what she said, I know she was going to be sorry.
These folks think everyone thinks like they do. Guess what.
She is a hater. If ever there was one, this woman is it.
pledging $30 billion in US taxpayer dollars for their health benefits?
Why not let them keep their union jobs that already provide for their health benefits?
Along with supplying the country with cheap, efficient, and reliable energy.
More of the same old.....
Democrats kill jobs and force independant, self supporting people to take government support.
Then pat themselves on the back and brag about being so caring and generous.
All the outrage over Trump is their own fault. Decades of back alley statesmen, or states-persons sure put a rosey bloom on the Trump Tree.
“She is a hater.”
Sure, believe those lying white brats Hansel and Gretel.
What Hillary meant is if you are a coal company and you do not donate
10’s of millions of dollars to her foundation, your coal company will be
out of business.
I like to general picture, but you lost me.
Raking in millions from a corrupt foundation, jeopardizing national security with a personal email server, intimidating Bubba’s sex assault victims... all while coal miners are without jobs and their families dig through trash for food.
This is *not* America; it’s North Korea, brought to you by the Communist traitors embedded like ticks in the centers of government & political power.
“Half of the country works for a living — the other half votes for a living.”
A gaffe is when a politician accidentally speaks the truth.
