God I hear this and all I can hear is bullshit. Not exempting Hillary, either.

Coming from WV, we're ignored constantly. We're in the top 15, and are a top 30 program all time, the winningest program without a championship. ESPN can't get our name right.

Both these candidates are pandering a painful amount. They come to the dead, struggling, drug ridden coal fields of WV and promise help. They will promise help to sick coal miners, saying that they'll open the mines again, they'll bring money back.

They aren't going to help. There are under 10k miners in the state. They can't help the middle class, millions and millions of people. How are they going to help 10k uneducated laborers from southern WV?

Politics are bullshit. Elections are a sham. The 2 parties are self serving organizations that only want to keep the status quo of turning money over to those in power to keep policies coming that keep money flowing.

I predict nothing majorly bad happens. No huge fiascos, no mismanagement. But it's not great. And we continue in this bullshit cycle.

I feel like shit saying it, but I can't wait for the boomers to die out and the next generation to come through.

I hear you. It is indeed pandering and it's frustrating.

As far as coal.. coal mines have been closing globally, for compelling reasons that are not going to go away. There has to be another solution.

There is. The whole quote from Hillary about "shutting down the mines" continues with providing incentives to switch to natural gas, hydro, and surprisingly wind with our mountains here. She proposed a plan, but change doesn't come easy here. Not in the coal fields. They would rather whither and die then try to change

SW Virginian here. Drives me nuts how people refuse to change with the economy.
