She had a plan to help the transition out of a coal economy that everyone knows is dying. They also could have voted like other Union voters across the country for the Democratic Party that supports Unions. "Pride goeth before a fall" I hope they will wake up to reality and not squander their vote next time. BTW, we know who the majority of coal miners voted for, trump.
