(50,130 posts)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.

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 didnt reflect her actual beliefs.
I dont know how to explain it other than what I said was totally out of context from what I meant.

(1,446 posts)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.

(10,478 posts)Like he did with white, rural voters.
The failure to reach out to a significant Democratic voting bloc is what cost him the primary.
