Keep fucking over blue-collar workers and see how the mid-terms go.

Rock-bottom participation rates... but they'll still win. Because their fanatical base will be the only ones that show up.

That was the platform, but their PR game is really great. I don't think blue collars will change red voters.

It's the friggin power lines that are the real bottleneck. What a stupid fucktard.

And these were low tech, not like The HVDC lines China is installing. HVDC has lower transmission losses and the lines can be buried, and they use a fraction of the metal for the lines.

But Trump is not stupid, he's working for gas and oil.
