Washington Post ^ | May 13, 2016 at 4:18 PM | Karen Tumulty

The booing was nearly as loud as the cheering when Bill Clinton stepped to the microphone in this remote mountain hamlet deep in the depressed heart of coal country.

In the audience at the local elementary school Thursday night was a sizable contingent of coal miners and their families, many wearing helmets and T-shirts declaring their support for Donald Trump. […]

The event here was Bill Clinton’s fourth in a long day of campaigning across Kentucky, where his wife faces a similar backlash in next week’s primary. …

That’s good. That’s a little payback for the constant stream of disruptors at the Trump rallies.

If there is any coal mining family in Kentucky that casts a vote for Hillary Clinton in next week’s Democrat POTUS Primary....thy need to have their heads examined. Both Clinton & Bernie Sanders are out to destroy the entire coal industry, and take down all the coal mining families into poverty.

Remember, folks, clean coal has great demand, here at home in the USA and, more importantly across the world. And.....also remember coal miners and your dearly loved ones, Hilllary Clinton is in bed and cahoots with POTUS Obama, plotting to destroy your industry an your jobs with it!!!

As a matter of fact, all of the great state of Kentucky Democrats should cast their Democrat votes, next Tuesday for Bernie Sanders....not, Hillary Clinton. You folks need to learn the lesson that Obama and Clinton could care less about you & your loved ones......the only people they care about is themselves & maintaining their political, life & death power over you, who they simply consider peons to be used and abused as needed!!! Wise up & join your smart & wise brothers and sisters in West Virginia....destroy Hillary Clinton, politcally next Tuesday!!!

And, come November, 2016, support and vote for Donald J. Trump in the POTUS General Election!!! GO, DONALD j. TRUMP.......MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! Hillary Clinton is not the one for Kentucky, nor, the entire USA!!!

Remember, Bill Clinton is the one that claimed vast swaths of Land as Protected Federal Property to prevent expansion of Coal Mining.

As I recall, the Land grab went as far West as Utah.

Bernie’s Plan is to give the area $41,000,000,000 in Federal Funds to help the displaced Coal Workers.

In other words, first they destroy an entire Industry then they make the Taxpayers pay to take care of the People that were impacted by the Federal Government’s actions.

She’ll still have that campaign ornament known as Baby #2. Unless the campaign fails before summer, in which case the baby becomes unnecessary.

They should have grabbed slick Willie , tarred and feathered him , and run himout of town on a rail . Maybe the SS would help ?
They better start thinking what another C presidency would do to them and their organization . Old retired members need to get on the horn witb the current active duty and remind them what it was like and what to expect . At what point does duty and honor to county and organization trump dutyand honor to corrupt deceitful individuals ? Write some new rules....

Chelsea is in trouble once her parents die.

These type of people seem to live forever. That heart attack ol' Bubba had would've killed any of us, Carter supposedly beat cancer at 94 years old, and GHW Bush broke his neck and still lives. Evil just seems to live on and on...

clean coal has great demand

Could this possibly be THE same William Jefferson Blythe III, a.k.a. Clinton that banned the mining of clean coal back in 1996?

“Mining jobs are good jobs, and mining is important to our national security — but we can’t have mines everywhere, and we shouldn’t have mines that threaten national treasures,” -WJC, 1996

(Key words: Lippo, Chinese, clean coal and Clinton)

The IBEW who has been in OBama’s back pocket the last too elections, do you think they will figure it out?

Nahh...be neither.

It is in their genes.
