But seriously, what did they think would happen? All those WVa-ans-- did they think Trump was going to do anything for them?
I'm continually amazed at how many people even now say, "He SAID he'd do this" and that was enough for them to believe him, and they're not angry he just lied to them.

Anyone could "just say" what they want to hear. Are they really that gullible?
