He would promise to do any harm to anyone for votes.

He is one sick puppy.

Technology, thankfully, has made it functionally obsolete. Its use is dropping everywhere, even in the third world.

It is stunning that he can stand there and say something that is just a lie.

His audience wants to believe it.
That is what will make him a difficult opponent.

He said (paraphrasing, not actual transcript); "Why don't miners all just move? Because there are no jobs in America, no place to move. I'll bring all those jobs back! We'll have so many jobs you won't believe how many jobs we have!"

Pretty close to the actual quote.
