The exact same jobs are not coming back, but different jobs can come back. The mining jobs are not coming back. That's what HRC tried to say inartfully. She said "We're going to be putting a lot of miners out of work, so we need to train them and have energy jobs" - but as usual most democrats didn't hear her, and repubs only heard "We're going to be putting a lot of miners out of work". HRC absolutely had a great plan for this. Technology has changed. If you are in your 50s or 60s in a manufacturing or manual job that is past it's time, it is a tough time for you, and neither Bernie nor Trump have any ideas for it.
