At least a thousand people attended, many with the creative signs we've come to expect from this new era of protest. My favorite chant: "Where's Dave? Dave's not here!"<br /><br />Dave Reichert has been in office since 2004, but this year his district went for Clinton. His refusal to meet with constituents at a town hall is bringing him some much-deserved bad publicity, and with a decent challenger next time, 2018 will mark the end of career in the House.Ludwig Richterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145442092958521609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-22953394011632731652017-02-23T14:44:03.509-05:002017-02-23T14:44:03.509-05:00Nice post fomenting fearNice post fomenting fearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-12354330250347724422017-02-23T12:09:20.501-05:002017-02-23T12:09:20.501-05:00While Trump won’t come for his supporters, over ti...While Trump won’t come for his supporters, over time many of them are sure to leave Trump—with any luck, by the time of the 2018 elections<br /><br />The jobs issue is going to kill him. Last night’s PBS Newshour had a segment on Erie, PA—former Democrats who voted for Trump because he said he could bring those good, blue-collar jobs back. The fact is, he can’t bring them back And he can’t bring mining jobs back to Appalachia because coal is no longer very competitive and getting less so every day. <br /><br />When the realization comes to those voters that they’ve been had (and “had” they have been) some of them, at lease, will desert him.<br /><br />The sad fact is that there is no good answer for these people or their shrinking communities. We’re in a bitter period of readjustment and those who can’t readjust are in for a difficult time, no matter who wins the next election.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601151117159492920noreply@blogger.com
