It was his first campaign rally since being declared the presumed Republican nominee after winning the Indiana primary on Tuesday.
“I want the primaries to keep going,” Trump told the crowd, saying it’s no fun this way as the only one. “Save your vote, you know you don’t have to vote anymore. Save your vote for the general election in November.”
“We’re going to put the miners back to work. We’re going to get those mines open!” Trump promised, pumping up the crowd.
“Over the past six-and-a-half years of the Obama Administration, West Virginia’s coal industry has seen production decline by 29 percent,” West Virginia Coal Association president Bill Raney noted. “Direct mining employment has dropped from 23,000 to just 14,000 and tax collections are now falling.”

im on the fence about voting for him in the general election. His rallies are unifying and makes you feel like we can take on the world. But when he sits down for a one on one interview, he changes his views or changes the subject. Someone needs to get him a notebook and write out specific plans and not "were gonna win" (that is 0000 substance)
2:57 - Such is the way of the politician, who speaks in broad strokes, and has since time immemorial.
While we would like to hear exactly how any politician would change (for the better) any of our policies or structure, few will detail those plans for fear of the dissection and co-option (theft for their own use) that their opponents will unfailingly and energetically engage in to reduce or deflect the popular impact to suit their own desires and agendas. I firmly believe that this is predominantly a Democratic Party strategy.
Locals need only look as far as James Ireton, Jr., who has used this strategy numerous times, unbeknownst to most of his supporters.
While I'm at it, no one can claim gerrymandering in a party primary. Everyone who votes for or against you as a candidate is a member of your very own party: Democrats vote for Democrats, Republicans vote for Republicans and Independents vote for no one until the general election. So take your gerrymandering argument to the last minutes of Happy Hour, when someone could be easily confused.
Susan Canfora, you should be ashamed for having been so hoodwinked.
