bringing back coal jobs, and returning America to the prosperity of the 50's, when union workers were making tons of money, twisting bolts, in Ford plants, is simply not going to happen. There's nothing her or Trump can do about it, but voters were willing to vote for the snake oil salesman, for a dream he sold them.

She didn't lose because of coal miners. She lost because she lost what should have been safe states like Pa but extremely small margins. If she had focused even a bit on those I have no doubt she could have rallied enough support to win. She was fighting headwinds from the late breaking FBI thing and needed to counter more strongly. Her tactical game wasn't good enough.
Having said that, the fact that the ejection was even close speaks to bigger problems with her candidacy, some of her making and some from external factors.
