but the fact is, the only candidate that actually had programs to reach out to rural folks and get them jobs was Hillary. Trump has bombast and empty promises of re-opening coal mines and 1950's era factories. Bernie had the rhetoric, but I don't recall many active proposals that would lead to real jobs, just his "tax the wealthy" ideas and infrastructure.

Real answers don't fit on bumper stickers. Slogans won't lead to real jobs. America desperately needs a policy wonk in charge. Instead we got a reality TV host.
