Quite frankly, their frowns make me smile.
Oh so now it's not just rural America but only rural whites.

Absolutely right. They only became jobless, uneducated, unemployed, living off the government, toothless, racist scum when they didn't vote for Obama part 3.

It may not be on purpose, maybe you actually believe that grown ass adults who have been through presidencies from both sides would ever believe anything a political candidate says, but you insult huge groups of people when you assume they were conned.

Very, very few people who voted for trump believed he would do much differently.
That's quite a bit worse than just ignorantly believing Trump will actually do the things he campaigned for.....

Just comes off as childish and immature.

Another thread fail.
So the Midwest doesn't want to sell more crops?

The thing about large trade deals is that not everyone wins. What Trump didn't tell you was that because of NAFTA, Texas and the South became a major manufacturing hub. There are no deals where everyone wins, instead of taking personal responsibility you vote for a person to take blame off your self for your situation.

Nonsense. To crush the dream of someone who called hem deplorables is sweet justice.

LOL huh?

We will see how rural Americans fare when their medicaid is slashed and those with pre-existing conditions no longer have access to the healthcare that was provided to them under ACA. That's not to mention where Medicare will be in a few years when the boomers with their significant amount of obesity start drawing that generous senior healthcare.

LOL. At least your honest about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

However, the pendulum swings back and forth and the deplorables will find themselves back to the previous state and they will be worse off since they didn't care about policies. Crushing the dreams of deplorables is something a lot of folks can get behind come 2018 and 2020.

TPP was dead long before Trump won.

TPP was dead long before President Trump took office. We await real action on trade.
