I've never seen so many articles in national publications on anything so close to home for me.

I'm getting pretty frustrated hearing the same thing over and over again when these workers are interviewed. Many are angry at Trump ....even the ones who admit they voted for him ....but don't blame him for causing them to lose their jobs. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them plan to vote for him again.

Here's the thing, and I find it very sad .... these folks would greatly benefit from many of the Democrats' policies, yet many of them would rather vote Republican, because they are so afraid that some poor person or immigrant will get something for nothing under a Democratic administration. They continue to vote against their own self-interests time and time again. I will never understand it. They need to ask themselves, are you better off than you were 4 years ago? All this we hear in the news about the great economy, well, it ain't so great everywhere.
