More rust for The Rust Belt.

The Trump voters in that part of Ohio didnā€™t like Hillary telling them the truth and trying to show them a way for the future.

They bought the easy lies of Trump and now they face a bad future.

I hope some of them are realizing they were flat out taken for fools. Itā€™s a hard thing to accept, but fools they were.

The voters may have been taken for fools but the media was complicit by failing to provide sufficient and consistent information to the average person. When ā€œseriousā€ platforms spend every day talking about emails, but have only one article discussing Don the Conā€™s flaws, itā€™s easy for people to be overwhelmed. Look at the recent detailed report from the NY Times on Donā€™s finances. Did they have any consistent followup? Daily reminders? I donā€™t think so.
