Yes, I heard it Sink. Sometimes Trump's tongue works faster than his brain. I know what he meant and so did everyone else there. Trust me, the people I saw at that rally were anything but "LIV" - they are active in their local elections too. I talked to plenty of people and they know exactly what is going on in the American political spectrum. A lot of people in WV are suffering because of it and they're tired of the same old lying politicians letting them down year after year.
Hillary has been promising these people retraining programs and handouts. They don't want that - they want their JOBS. Trump plays to that very well in WV and in my part of KY - in Appalachia. They know Hillary and Bernie are dangling the dole at them and they know that has kept them down economically for generations. Trump offers them a last desperate hope.
He didn't just say it once, alice. He TWICE told his audience to just stay home:
""What I want you to do is save your vote — you know, you don't have to vote anymore. Save your vote for the general election, okay? Forget this one. The primary is gone," Trump said. "Save your vote for the general election in November, and we're going to show you something, and then you're going to show me something, okay?"
And, at the end of his remarks:''""In November, you're going to go out, and you're going to vote and that's going to be the greatest vote you ever cast, okay? The vote was supposed to be on Tuesday, but now I can say: Stay home but get twice as many people in November, right? Because we have to win, we have to win the general election. We cannot take Hillary Clinton anymore. We've had enough of Clinton."
Was his mouth working faster than his very good brain TWICE in the space of 30 minutes?
He then reversed himself when he caught heat from W. Virginia Republican officials.
Your guy is a walking PR nightmare.
As for jobs, once those coal mines close, it will be nearly impossible to revive them. Some of them will come back, but natural gas is squeezing coal as a source for energy anyway.
