Whether or not he does is an opinion piece for right now. Massive infrastructure funding is part of his campaign pledge and he showed up to let them know. And it was them (the Rust Belt) who gave him his presidency. Maybe he’s a liar, probably he’s a liar, Hillary didn’t really do much at all in the Rust Belt. …

Do you have water from your taps? Yes? Then you are in a position. You don’t want to. Its like the people who claim “I am not rich! 200,000/yr may sound like a lot but not in my city!”. Its all relative.

No one said elites. Middle class.

So they vote for someone who will help them but harm others and they are to blame. You vote for someone who has let them go without water for a year, and you aren’t to blame for their lack of water? Its a double standard. If you want them to care about your problems over theirs, why haven’t you done the same?

I didn’t say you were elite. I implied you voted for your own local interests rather than for people who weren’t like you and didn’t share your problems. That means you don’t get to complain when they do the same. How much did you donate to help Flint in the last year? Anything?

The Rust Belt felt that racism was lower on their scales than “My child needs potable water to not die, and its been a year”. People on the coast decided “I say I am liberal but I don’t want to help White Trash, I’d rather let Trump win”.

Quick question: If you turn on your tap to give your child a drink of water does that child die from poison of do you have running water?

The popular vote is only as it is because its not important. Had it been a popular vote election Trump would have done better. Rural voters don’t vote in non-swing states.
