If a Democrat had said this, the reaction would be....

“If we could get highways in here, we wouldn’t have to depend on coal’’

But this was spoken by Trump supporters in southern WV, who still believe that Trump will live up to his "promises" during his campaign. I guess we shall see.

I've been saying it for decades now that the WV economy was/is too dependent on one thing. Every time I say this, I'm labeled a "liberal" or a "coal hater". Oh, and by the way, unlike 90% of you all, I actually LIVE in this great state of WV and have so my entire life.

I grew up in McDowell and all the democrats there kept saying, the state was going to 4 lane Rt 52. That was in the 60's. Fifty years later, everybody is gone and there might be a few miles of 4 lane somewhere around Man. Brilliant. That's what you get when you vote for the same party year after year. Now, there's nobody left to build a road for.
