Hillary Clinton might lose Ohio because she badmouthed coal
14 Oct 2016
Charlie Saltkield won't vote for Hillary Clinton in November for one reason: She badmouthed coal.
Saltkield doesn't even work in the coal industry. He owns Charlie's Cycles, a motorcycle shop in southern Ohio, about an hour south of Columbus. He's exactly the kind of voter Clinton should be able to woo: He grew up a Democrat and he's "done OK" in the Obama era.
But Donald Trump gets Saltkield's vote this year.
"My dad was a coal miner. You can't go against the coal miners. It's my heritage," Saltkield told CNNMoney over lunch in mid-September at Diner 23 in Waverly, Ohio.
Ohio has voted for the winner of every presidential race since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. It's the reason people say, "As goes Ohio, so goes the nation."
