Bill Clinton takes a nostalgia tour through working-class Ohio and finds a rash of Trump signs
Boston Globe ^ | Oct. 5, 2016 | By Annie Linskey

Posted on 10/05/2016 6:16:09 PM PDT by Innovative

Clinton took his legendary campaign skills on a tour this week through Mahoning Valley, hustling for small bunches of votes in tiny towns heavily populated with white Ohioans with relatively low levels of education and modest incomes.

In other words, in this election, Donald Trump country.

These are the voters Clinton won in 1992 and 1996, but who voted Republican in later years. As his bus rolled down two-lane roads and through towns with just a few stoplights but plenty of Trump signs, the trip was one part nostalgia tour, one part policy lecture, one part desperate bid to get his wife elected.

“populated with white Ohioans with relatively low levels of education and modest incomes.”

F*** you, Boston Globe. We are coming for you. And we aren’t amused.

Next time one of your pathetic friends, who is supporting Illary, lays out the claim that people supporting Trump are unemployed, Low employed and Low educated, remind them the same voters or types of voters supported Slick Willie and Fauxbama....

Effin losers.

Only 24% of the populace has a degree and of those, 80% will not complete their career in a field their major was designed for...

Clinton greeted by protestor at his own rally in Ohio, “Bill Clinton is a Rapist”

How many women has Bill Clinton sexually assaulted or raped?

How many of those women has Hillary harassed or threatened?

It wasn’t just 1992 and 1996. Donald Trump is getting a lot of support from Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primaries. Now they’ve abandoned her, and she’s trying cobble together a winning coalition among all the misfits who she despised in 2008 and put Obama in the White House.

They keep trying to discourage Trump supporters, trying to present that only uneducated white trash is supporting him, and if you don’t want to be in that category, you should support Hillary.

This whole thing is a lie. I have seen some poll results, where they broke it down by various groups, including income and education, etc., and Trump was leading in each one.

And of course we’ll see how it goes in the real election.

The main thing is that Trump supporters should not let the MSM influence them, but be sure to actually cast a vote in the election.

"In tone, the tour was a far more relaxed affair than his wife’s hectic and meticulous schedule."

Huh??

He was NEVER “legendary”. He was propped up by the Lamestream Media for decades, because he was “one of them”. Now he’s just an old, haggard, diseased, syphillitic, demented old man and all his old Media allies are moldering in a cold, dead, Christless grave, or gumming soup through a straw at some Alzheimer Care facility.

Well, that was a pointless article, and then it just trailed off. The lib media is trying so hard to find warms and fuzzies about the two most egregious criminal betrayers of the public trust in the past century. Possibly two centuries.

Bill Clinton repudiated the left-wing groups when he ran in 1992. He told Jesse Jackson to take a hike because his campaign was courting suburban white voters. Remember how the media hyped soccer Moms?

“Look, there’s a reason for the road rage today. People have gone 15 years without a raise and they’re mad,” he said in Youngstown Tuesday morning.

Did the 3rd rate liar just figure this out? And now they're using Trump's messages in Ohio!☺

Wished I could publicly tell this AH it's not just a declining economy the corrupt in D.C. have wrought. How about their violent open borders for decades? Or their trade deals only our enemies love? Or rebuilding the planet why we decline? Loser policies in every direction. Get um out.

Go Trump.

But you’re missing my point. Why is it when Bill Clinton courted white suburban voters, he was fawned over, but Trump is doing the same thing and he’s a white supremacist.

John Henry gave his new little chickie wife a big job at The Globe——and the downhill slide rapidly accelerated.

It is trash.

If the Author isn't a typical Clinton sycophant I don't know who is. She just has that look. Must of pained her to write it.
