What the Republicans are good at doing is pandering to the down-on-their-luck worker; promise them that they'll get their high-paying coal and manufacturing jobs back, and then do nothing substantive. Republicans are good at painting Democrats as "elite." By now there’s a whole genre of media portraits of working-class Trump supporters (there are even parody versions). You know what I mean: interviews with down-on-their-luck rural whites who are troubled to learn that all those liberals who warned them that they would be hurt by Trump policies (e.g. slashing Health Care; cutting Medicaid; cutting training programs) were right, but still support Mr. Trump, because they believe that liberal elites look down on them and think they’re stupid. Hmm....
Those coal jobs are never coming back. The Democrats see new technology, such as solar, that employs 10X more workers than coal, as the solution.
Oh, on exporting jobs. Which party stood in the way of Democratic action to stop subsidies for exporting jobs? Hint: The Hill: Senate Republicans block bill to end tax breaks for outsourcing
Coals never coming back, huh ?
First new coal mine of Trump era opens up in Pennsylvania
