* Hillary Clinton's Essay on a Future for Appalachia - https://still4hill.com/2016/05/04/hillary-clintons-essay-on-a-future-for-appalachia/

* Building a future for Appalachia that’s worthy of its past.Hillary Clinton 4 min read

Over the past two days, I’ve taken a road trip through some of the most beautiful parts of our country — and had some tough and poignant conversations.Ashland, KY

I’ve met with families in coal communities who deserve our gratitude for the work their parents and grandparents did to build this country. I’ve talked to steelworkers who are frustrated that China gets away with undercutting our jobs and businesses. And I’ve heard from railroaders who are watching the decline in steel and coal cut the region off from future jobs.

From the hills of Kentucky to the coal fields of West Virginia to the small towns of Ohio, Appalachia is a vital part of the United States. Yet too often, the people across this region aren’t treated that way.

For generations, Appalachian coal kept the lights on in people’s homes and schools and kept assembly lines rolling in factories. The region’s steel plants helped build our skyscrapers, and its chemical plants made the products that shape modern life.

These jobs were tough. More than 100,000 miners died on the job in the 20th century, and more than twice that many succumbed to black lung disease. The United Mine Workers put their lives on the line to protect miners on the job and in retirement — and their hard-won victories have helped strengthen the labor movement in other industries nationwide.

* Hillary Clinton Live from Chappaqua with Anderson Cooper: “Loose Cannons Tend to Misfire” - https://still4hill.com/2016/05/04/hillary-clinton-live-from-chappaqua-with-anderson-cooper-loose-cannons-tend-to-misfire/

In the wake of Donald Trump's victory last night, Hillary sat down at home in Chappaqua with Anderson Cooper.

Hillary said Trump's victory was clear for a long time.  She said she has seen the presidency from two different perspectives and knows what it takes.  She took on Trump's stances:

1. It is OK for other countries to have nukes;

2. Wages are too high;

3. Women should be punished for abortions.

Hillary portrayed Trump as a loose cannon who has said many things, e.g. Climate change is a hoax, and said  “Loose cannons tend to misfire.”

"I don't think we can take a risk on a loose cannon like Donald Trump running our country." —Hillaryhttps://t.co/xcbYMepYdX

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) May 4, 2016

Hillary said she is ready and has been in the arena for 25 years.  She is not running against Trump. She is running for president on the issues she has campaigned.

Hillary said Republicans did not raise issues because they agreed with him.  They were trapped and could not run on issues.  She can. She said that if he wants to argue against peace and prosperity she will argue 22 million jobs created since 2009 and will take that on.

Asked about Trump's use of the media, Hillary said that grand statements and accusations are one thing, but when you are running for president you have to tell people what you are going to do and how you are going to do it.  It is not enough to call in and get a media platform.

Asked about Trump's attacks on her trade agreement history, Hillary said, “I am against bad trade agreements and have voted against them”

Hillary said  it is time to get serious. Being a loose cannon does not exempt him from the hard questions.

Cooper brought up Trump the counter-puncher.  Hillary said he is the one who chose that path and is running the negative, aggressive, bullying campaign.

Hillary is going to keep being specific.  Anyone who has listened to Trump knows who he is.

Re: Trump putting coal miners back in the mines, Hillary cited her $30 billion plan for coal country.

Is Hillary ready for the kind of fight Trump will mount? Arguably a National Enquirer tabloid fight?  ” If he wants to go back to the 1990s let him.”

She said he GOP did not know how to run against him and now invites Republicans and Independents to get off the blue and red teams and  onto the American team.

Hillary said she has confidence, is optimistic, and has been consistent.  She will do all she to  can to even the odds for those who have with the deck stacked against them.

She is not calling herself the presumptive nominee.  She has been in Bernie's shoes but could not close the gap in 08. The gap now is far wider than the 08 gap.  She is counting on Bernie to help defeat Trump.

As for a Veep choice, she will be looking for someone who is ready to be POTUS at a moment's notice. She will find  a good partner but also a good POTUS.

You may remember that in February, former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman, once touted as a possible presidential candidate herself, followed current NJ Gov Chris Christie's endorsement of Donald Trump with this declaration:

… she says she’s planning to vote for Hillary Clinton if Trump gets the nod. She’s keeping her options open, in case we find out something new and horrible about Hillary. But that’s her plan now:

“You’ll see a lot of Republicans do that,” Whitman told me. “We don’t want to. But I know I won’t vote for Trump.”

The morning after a not-so-Super Tuesday with only one measly primary (I don't mean Indiana is measly, I mean a single primary does not a Super Tuesday make), everyone woke up at the bottom of the rabbit hole with a big “eat me” note signed by Donald Trump.

#ICYMI Donald Trump won the Indiana primary yesterday after, based on a National Enquirer report casting Ted Cruz's father, Rafael, as a kind of Zelig/Forrest Gump character allegedly seen close to Lee Harvey Oswald in a photo.  N.B. Lee Harvey Oswald was the purported “single actor” in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  Prior to 11/22/63 Oswald spent some time working for the “Fair Play for Cuba” coalition in New Orleans and hung with some Cuban refugees at the time.

Outrageous as the story appeared, not to mention the absurdity of a presidential candidate citing the National Enquirer as a source, it not only dominated the news all day yesterday but also served its purpose in that Cruz swallowed the bait and addressed it in a news conference rather than brushing it off as farce.  In the wake of his resounding loss in Indiana last night, and, some speculate, the shady attack on his father, Cruz suspended his campaign leaving Trump as the presumptive GOP nominee.

Then came the dawn … and the inferno.

* Republicans burn registration cards and rally behind the #nevertrump campaign as lifelong GOP voters prepare to support Hillary Clinton in a bid to block Trump

- Republicans are burning their voter cards and rallying behind #nevertrump
- The billionaire business mogul is now the GOP's presumptive candidate
- But he remains deeply unpopular with swathes of the party elite and voters
- Many Republicans are planning to vote for the Democrats to keep him out

By Corey Charlton for MailOnline

A number of disappointed Republicans have torched their voter cards and declared support for the #nevertrump campaign after the billionaire businessman clinched the party nomination following Ted Cruz's resignation.

Such is the resentment towards Trump, many are now readying themselves to vote for the Democrats despite being lifelong Republican supporters.

Photographs of them burning their voter registration cards have appeared on social media, while others Breaking newssay they are prepared to vote for Hillary Clinton.Read more >>>>

Until a short while ago, the Mathematical Impossibles, Bernie Sanders (who won IN by a small margin but has a snowball's chance in a bonfire of being nominated) and John Kasich remained.  Breaking news is that Kasich will hold a presser from Columbus, OH at 5 pm EDT and will also sing his swan song.

In other news, the New York Times reported yesterday on our first U.S. climate refugees in Louisiana having to evacuate their ancestral home for higher ground – or rather for ground – as their island is slowly being inundated.  Today, the New York Times reports, an entire town in Alberta Canada is also under evacuation due to “apocalyptic” wildfires.  Climate change disaster is already upon us.  It is biblical. Floods and combustion abound and one viable candidate remaining has a plan for climate change and a long history of battling it.

Hillary Clinton steadfastly maintains that she is not the one to tell Bernie Sanders to suspend his bid since she remained into June 2008.  But, clearly, there are issues.  Hillary is the candidate with the concrete, pragmatic plans.  Even Republicans are flocking to her.

John Kasich, saying his heart is not in this, is listening to his party leadership and exiting. Bernie Sanders, while he runs under the Democratic Party banner, should also withdraw at this point.  It was never his party to begin with, and the stakes are too high for grandstanding.

Disaffected Republicans are not feeling the Bern.  They are burning their Republican registration cards and grabbing the one sensible hashtag: #ImWithHer.  Hillary is the revolution. Bernie is too myopic to see it. He should do his part in the #NeverTrump movement and move aside so that Hillary Clinton can adjust her focus to the real threat: A Trump White House.
