1. Trump was in it only for Himself; and just needed their votes to get there. Conned Again.

2. Sorry, not sorry - they believed what they wanted to hear.

They can be pissed all they want but they're the ones who believed the snake oil salesman.

If Trump promised buggy whip makers that he would bring back horse drawn carriages by taxing cars - who's dumber...trump for saying it or the buggy whip guys for believing him.

3. @ the end of the day the miners know the truth

In the short run natural gas will be used to make electricity because it is:
*) Cheaper

b) Much easier to use

3) Cleaner

iv) and the utility companies have spent billions to switch from coal to gas

4. Hillary didn't lie and they hated her for it.

Voted for Dump are now screwed. Join the club assholes. No sympathy.

5. What exactly did they think he would do?

6. That's nice! How many blows from the clue-by-four did it take?
