Let’s set aside “if some of you are able” Trump Vs Hillary, left Vs right for a moment here please.

Sorry for the crappy title.

The last few days I’ve been watching some of these types of videos on YouTube. These two were shot in West Virginia and the other in the panhandle of Texas. Like with anyone running for office they get on stage and flap their collective gums, and lie to thier voters in the American people as a whole.

These two focus on Trump and the people who voted for him and will vote for him. The video in WV is before he took office. Here’s my point before your ADD kicks in. Despite who voted for who be it Hillary or Trump, etc. towns and people are suffering barely making ends meet. As a country why are our elected officials not held accountable for not doing as they promised? I’ve been homeless and have lived on the streets before. Twice. No one was with me I was on my own.

These people have kids and grandchildren, yet so many are not making ends meet. Should the president “whoever it happens to be.” given two years to make some forward steps in the right direction? I think they should have to step down. Maybe two years is too short of a time, let’s say four years at most.

In the end towns like this that used to offer jobs and hope are dieing out and regardless whose in office, nothing truly changes.

Hillary told those working in the coal industry she was going to leave them unemployed. She was sooo stupid.

Well that did last long and that’s not entirely true.

She made the comment during a March 13 CNN Town Hall. Journalist Roland Martin asked, in effect, why should poor white people vote for her.

In her response, Clinton did say that she would be putting coal companies out of business, as a result of moving toward renewable energy sources. But she followed that by saying she wanted to create new economic opportunities for current coal workers, possibly spurred by clean energy development.

Too late. As soon as someone insults me for spending the time to read his thread, I stop reading it. Whatever your point was though, Orange Man did not take anybody's mining job away.

Whatever suits you then, and for thr record I have ADD and I wasn’t insulted.

It’s not what the videos are about.

I only watched the first video and Roberts County seems to be just fine and the people interviewed are happy that it is still the same, except for the estate tax that is. Why do they need to change if they don't want to?

You have a land that’s worth say $2 million and you want to leave it to your kids. They will have to pay half of the taxes on $2 million.

And just like the left always does, she makes fake promises, gives no realistic new ideas to solve the problem, and when elected does absolutely nothing for the people she made the promises to. Talk about fake. We've seen it before, and just like AOC talking about destroying our oil/gas industry it'll continue.

A, B, and C.


A: "the right direction" depends upon opinion and what the President may see and those in one part of the country may differ. Further, when it comes to national affairs and how they interact with world affairs, "right now" or "two years" may not be the right time.


B: When it comes to who I vote for, I do not follow them but read their web page, their platform, perhaps the dossier very soon before the vote.



C: I do not spend my time to watch videos or for that matter, even speeches. I read the transcripts. Hence, don't ask me to watch a 40 minute video, please provide the transcript.
