re: #46 calochortus

On the plus side, Trump supporters are beginning to see just an inkling of how unreliable Trump is

I heard a piece on the radio today about the coal miners who put their faith in Trump “bringing coal back.” An economist was explaining that market-driven forces like the efficiency of fracking for natural gas governed the value of coal, and there wasn’t much a president could do about it. So there’s another constituency the Republicans will disappoint.

And for some reason this inability to deliver on his promises is a surprise to celebrity news commentators like Chris Matthews.
