Hillary promises, ‘We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business’

Thomas Lifson   . . . "Asking for votes on the basis of pity is one thing.  But promising to throw them out of work is even worse.  And that’s what Hillary, who needs to win coal-producing states Pennsylvania and Ohio, did yesterday.  Daid Rutz in theWashington Free Beacon:

Hillary Clinton said that her policies would “put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” during Sunday night’s Ohio town hall on CNN.

Clinton was asked by TVOne’s Roland Martin about her Democratic primary success in states that tend to vote Republican in general elections, and he wondered how she could carry such states once matched up with a Republican rather than a far-left candidate like Sen. Bernie Sanders . . ."

Does Hillary have a political death wish?   "Ineptness alone does not seem adequate to explain the series of gaffes that have characterized Hillary Clinton’s campaign recently.  While violence at Trump events (but not the organized effort behind the disruptors) has grabbed airtime among talking heads, Hillary has been taking a wrecking ball to her appeal to voters." . . .
