coal country in the united states. west virginia where donald trump won by more than 40 points. get that, 40 points. over hillary clinton. so do the locals there believe this means their jobs are coming back? mariana is down in charleston, west virginia. what are they telling you? so, president trump signed this executive order rolling back key obama administration environmental protections, hoping that that will bring coal mining jobs back to west virginia. here in charleston we spoke to someone whose family has been in the coal mining business for generations, and this is what he told us. let s listen. do you think president trump can actually bring coal mining jobs back? i do. i definitely do think he can bring coal mining jobs back, just by lifting the regulations. there are a lot of hungry people out there. i watched it go from a boom town to ghost town just taking coal away, especially from the small towns. like i said, it brings money,
during the campaign, this was a delicate issue for people in the media to talk about. hillary clinton. is she likeable? they said don t say that and there is gender issues here. a lot of reaction i am seeing and they look at your character, the jonathan gordon character and they said unlikable. they do. it has been a fascinating thing for us to process that as well. as an actor, my job is to do hillary as hillary did hillary. is she likeable or not, but this is the way she delivers this and this is when she talks to the camera and smiles and laughs. what are the contrasts in playing her the way you are against a character like this? what are the contrasts that have become clear to you? one of the big ones is focus. the debates we are looking at. hillary looks at the camera and
then we have on the other side of the stage, jonathan gordon, the democratic nominee, aka hillary clinton. and as we pick things up, it is jonathan gordon who is speaking. well, i actually think the most important question of this evening, chris, is finally, will brenda king, admit and condemn, that the russians are doing this and make it clear that she will not have the help of putin in this election, that she rejects russian espionage against americans, which she actually encouraged in the past. those are the questions we need to have answered. we ve never had anything like this happen in any of our elections before. well that was a great pivot off the fact that he wants open borders, okay. how did we get on to putin. hold on. no hold on. this could end up getting out of control. to finish on the borders he wants open borders, people are going to pour into our country, people from syria, he wants 550% more people than barack obama and he has thousands of people.
answer. how did donald trump actually win the election. experimental theater. to set it up refresh your memory. the three debates last fall between donald trump and hillary clinton. you remember them. they went something like this. so i actually think the most important question of this evening, chris, is, finally will donald trump admit and condemn that the russians are doing this and make it clear that he will not have the health of putin in this election that he rejects russian espionage against americans which he actually encouraged in the past. those are the questions we need answered. we ve never had anything like that happen in any of our elections before. that was a great pivot off the fact that she wants open borders. how did we get to putten. the polls said on point hillary clinton won the debates,
fallen in the race at hillary clinton in the high 30s, sitting at 37, 38, 39. on a good week would hit 43, 44. we thought that s where the ceiling is. he got north of 46% at the end. i m wondering when i see the low approval numbers how much of this is an extension of the campaign where he will lose about 10% of his base every few weeks and then somehow find a way to get it back up there, versus how much of this is him permanently losing? how do republicans think about things? do they think this is the campaign all over again and he has a base that s going to be with him or do they think something is changing here? yeah. it s a good question, steve. he s had a high floor and low ceiling in the primary and general election and even in the first two and a half months of his presidency. you re right to point to that. going forward i don t think it s necessarily about the base, he s been in the 80s, low 90s among republicans. it s independents. democrats are solidly opposing him no matte
