Steel town waits for President Trump's promises to come true

Westmoreland County, which includes Monessen, is one of Pennsylvania's democratic strongholds. But in November 2016, it went red for Trump.

Vander valid Let's be honest here. Obama was a selfish, poorly educated, vulgar, golf playing fuck. Trump is the opposite. Now I see why Obama was so hated and Trump is loved. Trump will be voted in again in 2020. 7yrs of glorius Trump. Thankyou very much for clearing that up. And the mendacity Obama wallowed in. Finally with Trump we have a truthful guy in the WH.He reminds me of Nixon.

But now we got a Boss, That acts like a Boss (not like pu$$y Obuma) And gets sh!t done..! He may not be "politically correct" But he's doing what NEEDS to be done.! And of coarse there's a lot of hurt feelings... And as much as they want their feelings to matter... they just don't.! I'm more than sure you'll have all kinds of sh!t to say...But it won't even Matter. Anyone with any common sense and just a little intelligence can see Trump IS doing what right for THIS country..!

Old Uncle Bob - I'd caution to label these folks, either as gullible, or "Morons" or "Idiots" (not that you did but some do). The willingness of Americans with seemingly sound mind and body to follow someone who in retrospect appears to be peddling snake oil speaks to the desperation these individuals were feeling. It's sad, more than anything. But remember, Obama ran on "Hope and Change" and a lot were called "Idiots" for voting for him...

Where they are seeing doctors three to four times a week where one former worker have $6000 worth of medicine b/c working in the mills ruined his heart, lungs, and body that they don't have to pay for he walks with an oxygen tank for god sake and he was still mad about the mills being closed whereas he could barely stand with heart and lung problems

[@mariaconnors6287]

Conor Lamb stands up for PA working families and so is endorsed by unions fighting for better wages & healthcare. Saccone votes to sabotage PA unions including our miners and steelworkers. Saccone repeatedly voted to allow the use of foreign steel instead of American steel in our public construction projects; instead of taking responsibility Saccone denies his own voting record, calls critics dishonest and complains his opponent's campaign is out to discredit him with the facts. So what can we expect if Saccone joins the US Congress? A right to work for less, less healthcare and more BS. House Speaker Ryan knew every failed Trumpcare bill republican lawmakers tried to pass in 2017 threatened to leave millions more Americans uninsured, cut Medicaid for disabled children, seniors and veterans to redirect those resources to a wealthy few and that was opposed by the overwhelming majority of Americans. Still Ryan announced the GOP would continue to seek more cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. As a nurse I agree with Conor Lamb who said, Its time for Mr. Saccone to stand up and say he opposes the $250-billion dollar cut to Medicare that is in the president's proposed budget right now; but Saccone's record proves Saccone is not on the side of working families and I would never trust Saccone or the GOP to protect the health of my family. www.pennsylvaniahealthcarefacts.com/

These people had a beautiful life, a bustling town and it's lost, eroded by time, never to return. The Market can be cruel: It doesn't care about you or your dreams, your family, your needs, it just cares about value created. Let's try to extend empathy to others, to understand their pain and motivations. If we don't, how will we move past the divisiveness and build a better country.

[@vanessad.2625]

Tom Smith I hear you man, it's hard to let go of the past and face what's right in front of you. But times change and people need to change with it. We are a resilient people. I understand the sadness, we grow up thinking that we are going to stay with a company for 50 years and have a pension and all of that used to be true. But those days are gone. And that's not this gentleman's fault. I mean, we have self checkout lines at the grocery store now. We all need to diversify our skillsets because even though the automation and technology are taking over, computers can't do everything. I respect where this man comes from, his struggle, that's why he needs to stop fighting us and join us instead.

[@lorenyoung791]

Tom is right; the Market is cruel, so it's up to us to be kind. The Market doesn't care about us in any way, so we need to elect *_leaders_* who DO care about people and communities, not *_rulers_* who care only about the bottom line. Even better would be all of us *_becoming_* the leaders we need & not counting on the minions of either faction of the Plutocrat Party. Forget the old saw about charity beginning at home; no one wants charity. *_Solidarity_* begins at home, and is easier to expand. Whoever has ears, let them hear. (Matt 11:15)

[@senam23]

Tom Smith Don't feel empathy for them. You make a good point: we can't all be scientists. And we don't need to. But we can't remain cavemen, either. All they had to do was "think", for a second. Trump made promises, but he never explained *HOW* he was going to deliver, and they were too dumb to ask or care. And because of that, we all have to deal with him being in power. Their stupidity affects us all. Let them struggle. We all do.

Part of the capitalistic system, which America promotes. America failed to stay competitive in that market. It's still sad to see so many people losing their job due to poor management and poor national policies. And this is not just a democratic or GOP thing, both parties are equally guilty by playing partisan politics and short-term gains. Actually this is partially also true for Europe. China is doing better because of their long-term policies and planning. The progress we're seeing from China was planned long ago.

Wake up and STOP supporting any candidate that takes corporate money. There are a lot of grassroots only, real working people coming up to primary the neocons and neolibs. Support them and get the corporate money OUT of politics. Citizen's United has nearly caused the death of our democratic republic, and it won't change until taking corporate bribes becomes a death knell for a campaign.

If you are a CEO of an American company your number one priority is to your share holders, not your workers, if the stock stays high you keep your insanely over paying job. Trump built many of his building with steel from China, his clothing line was also made in foreign countries. I work in automation and if Americans could see first hand what robots and software can do it would blow their minds. Its only going to get worst for the educated and unskilled, I wish Trump and Hillary would have told them the truth.
