If those were Russian ads attempting to swing the election, they weren't very effective. How many people even saw those things before the election? I didn't. I doubt they would sway anyone. But, even so - what are we to do about that? Russia is not allowed to publish ads on Facebook?

Probably true. All he needed to say was "Mexicans are rapists" and all of the BASE went "he's our man!". Have another Bud Light!

Of course, he didn't say Mexicans were rapists.

He didn’t have to. Just dangle the right words out there. The base will get it. Wink wink.

He's the most liberal president ever. He'd never do that.

With that logic, everyone can interpret the words of their opposition however they see fit. We all know what Obama "really meant" right? That's how we know he's really a Marxist Communist, right? We can read between the lines.

And if you're inferring something from his words, it's best not to use quotes, which indicates that you were quoting him.

I learned a new political marketing phrase yesterday: low interest voters, people who don't take much notice but whose voting preference can be and is influenced by a single idea, piece of policy, or slogan. These are the people the real fake news outlets are aiming at. We all remember the bowling green massacre now don't we?

I learned that too. If they are Christians their interest is in “values”. Lists of policy goals (Hillary plan) bore them enough to change the TV channel.

The same crowd labels all of us with college degrees as elitist. If the actually know the word.

It's been a long time since going to college was considered an elitist thing.

It is now in the Trump era. Coal miners unwilling to go two years to community college to learn heating and air conditioning or junior electrician papers.

You think coal miners are unwilling to go to community college or to become electricians or HVAC repair? What makes you think that?

Which outlet reported that coal miners refuse to go to school to become HVAC repairmen and electricians?

There is this -- http://www.businessinsider.com/r-awaiti ... ng-2017-11

However, there isn't an indication that it's because coal miners "refuse" to get educated. These are job training programs for welfare recipients. For example, Washington-Greene County Job Training Agency operates government-funded employment programs including EARN, Workforce Investment Act (WIA), Self-Employment Assistance (SEA), and Welfare to Work. These programs serve disadvantaged individuals ranging in ages from 14 to older workers. The article seems to suggest that laid off miners were choosing to wait for coal jobs, but there isn't much in the way of evidence presented there. Who knows if they even heard of these programs, and I would certainly be curious about the quality.

Was not Trump going to give them coal mining jobs?
