1. Intelligent example on your part, Hillary's plans to help coal miners. Thank you!
....
2. You are aware, are you not, that she apologized for saying "half" of his supporters were deplorable "racists, misogynists, Islamophobes, you name it" but did not apologize for saying that racists etc. were deplorable? The implication the rest of the country (if not you) took was that Hillary apologized for saying 50% of Trump supporters were deplorable, as opposed to 40%, or 30%, or unspecified.
She, and you, consider the Wall to be racist, correct? And anyone strongly supporting the Wall to be deplorable?
You consider her apology "adult." I do not. Most independents also do not. But I'll cheerfully admit that is a debate worth having on its own.
....
The broader question is how many times Hillary Clinton did this, sneer at the basket of deplorables to private Barbara Streisand audiences -- whether Hillary truly holds uneducated conservatives in contempt. The American Voter will have final say on that question.
That said, Donald Trump has a huge problem "apologizing" for anything, has a huge ego, and has a thin skin. Usually his "walk-backs" are meaningless to me. Point cheerfully conceded (conceited?).
....
3. If Hillary has "education and training" in mind for diverting coal miners away from their profession, I suppose from that point of view she is "listening to their needs" as Trump supporters. In what way, though would this constitute a policy change or compromise on her part? Spending federal dollars on education and training is in no way a Hillary policy change.
She is "listening" to them by imposing her view of the world upon them. I doubt many coal miners want to attend re-education centers. More likely they wish to continue in their chosen profession.
.....
4. Whether it is a "myth" that coal is still alive, is a question to be discussed. Not brought to an end point within one sentence, as you just did. Here is a Wall Street Journal article arguing the question of coal's future.
