It's too bad Hillary couldn't connect with the people of WV

[berni_mccoy]

Like she did with the people of Wall Street.

[TCJ70]

6. Yeah! White people. Amirite?

Do you know what you sound like?

[MFM008]

34. just saying what it is

the 30% of those voting for Trump.
Uneducated.
racist
hillbilly
redneck
morons
1 takeover short of a bird sanctuary.

Its pretty clear.

[Punkingal]

8. What a lousy post.

Write off a whole state and call them morons.

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Who, MF? West Virginians?

You say that about them?

[MFM008]

35. Im talking about

Trump voters using the excuse to vote democrat.
And Ill say that about Virginians, Washingtonians, Californians, anyone that votes for Trump.
Is there a problem?

[amborin]

14. wow, what a way to talk about people

[MFM008]

36. Yeah I detest

Sorry if that upsets your sensibilities.

[840high]

22. You have such empathy - don't 'ya?

[MFM008]

[DVRacer]

27. Well I just read the most mind blowing comment I have ever read here.

Wow just wow

[wendylaroux]

29. lol!! yucky white people,we all suck.

[berni_mccoy]

32. Pa-thetic

[SMC22307]

40. It's wet, wild and wonderful.

I care, because family lives there and they helped crush Hillary. They're not rednecks, but #redneckwhitevotesmatter. Big tent, remember?

[SheenaR]

41. Funny how nobody minded

When these "rednecks" and Republicans carried WV for her with 66% in 2008.

[berni_mccoy]

43. Apparently you cared enough to respond. Butthurt is evident

[DCBob]

4. What's Bernie's connection.. coal, guns, hate Obama, ignorance?

Bernie must be so proud.

[hellofromreddit]

9. Working, enduring poverty, and responding to the one hopeful campaign.

Proud to be a voice.

[DCBob]

17. Does that also apply to the Trumpkins for Bernie voters?

[left-of-center2012]

11. Bernie supporters don't hate Obama

That's just a Clinton talking point

[Cali_Democrat]

15. You sure about that?

https://newrepublic.com/minutes/133400/clintons-struggles-west-virginia-arent-just-coal-theyre-obama

[whatchamacallit]

16. If Hillary is the nominee she will pander to them on those very things come the GE

And you will cheer her on.

[DCBob]

18. No she wont.. we dont need WV to win the general.

[whatchamacallit]

21. Having brought the hippies to heel, she will run hard right

and walk away from Obama as fast as she can.

[DCBob]

23. No she wont.. she will continue basically as she has been doing.

She has this election in the bag as long as people dont get fooled by Trump the charlatan.

[wendylaroux]

30. well hell,H has convinced people that she is a lefty progressive,she's fooled many people.

[grasswire]

26. heck, look what she did to him as SoS!

She thought so little of him that she ran a rogue foreign policy right under his nose but out of sight, jeoparding his administration.

That takes a lot of arrogance.

[Autumn]

42. Y'all don't need much of anything or anybody for your Hillary to win do you?

Impressive. Independent's can fuck off, white people can fuck off, states that don't go to Hillary can fuck off.

[left-of-center2012]

5. WV heard her loud and clear

She went to WV and said she was going to put all the coal miners out of work.

Out-of-Work Coal Miner Confronts Clinton Over Promise to Put Miners Out of Business
Clinton said in response that her debate comments were a “misstatement” that didn’t reflect her actual beliefs.
“I don’t know how to explain it other than what I said was totally out of context from what I meant.”

[left-of-center2012]

24. What she said is not what she meant

Isn't that called "lying"?

[anotherproletariat]

38. As Democrats, I'm sure we all agree with what she said, out of context or not. No good liberal wants

see a future in coal. If that means giving WV to the repubs, so be it. The gains elsewhere will far make up for that small number of electoral college votes. She did say that coal miners need to be retrained and an investment needs to be put into getting them employed in other industries, again...something that we all should agree with.

[Barack_America]

10. Funny, "we're going to put a lot of people out of business!"...

...is usually a winner.

[Tarc]

20. It's too bad Bernie Sanders couldn't connect with African-American voters

Like he did with white, rural voters.

The failure to reach out to a significant Democratic voting bloc is what cost him the primary.

[silvershadow]

28. Agreed. Of course we don't know how well she connected until the transcripts are released. nt

[Demsrule86]

44. Yeah she does better with ny Dems many who work on Wall Street

than racists voters in WVA...too bad for real. the sort of voters who voted for a convicted felon in 12 to show their hatred of the president.
