Trump and the Coal Miner’s Daughter
Country music is the music for much of working-class America, and for many of those who make up that great mass of humanity, 83-year-old Loretta Lynn is the reigning Queen of Country Music now that the great Kitty Wells is no longer with us. Last week, Lynn publicly announced that she was supporting Donald Trump for the presidency in 2016. In fact, she says she has been passing on that message of support to her audiences at the closing of her concerts for some time now, and it is being very well-received. What’s more, the Coal Miner’s Daughter, so named for her huge 1970 hit of the same name, has publicly invited Donald to give her a call if he wants her support for his campaign.
Now if Donald is smart – like a fox comes to mind – he ought to jump on that offer like the proverbial chicken on a June bug. A very large segment of working-class Americans, including many of those affiliated with politically corrupt, Democrat-controlled unions, are Reagan Democrats, especially in blue or purple states. Those are folks for whom a folksy message from a coal miner’s daughter might have a populist attraction that a New York City billionaire’s overtures might lack. Some political analysts are already hinting at possible defections from this blue-collar Democrat cohort, so quite possibly Ms. Lynn can seal the deal with her country appeal.
Donald, if you read American Thinker, as surely you do, take out your phone this very minute and call Loretta to take her up on that offer. Then pay some lyricist in Nashville to rewrite some lyrics so that throughout your 2016 campaign against Hillary, we can hear Ms. Loretta singing your campaign anthem:
You ain’t woman enough to beat my man.

Here’s the thing. I LIKE Loretta Lynn, and her music. Nothing against the lady at all. But it’s the people who that song is about whose political opinion matters. Don’t you think having a few actual COAL MINERS in the mix would be a good idea? You know, the guys actually doing the dirty, dangerous work that made that song part of America? As a voter, I would be more interested in THEIR votes than the artist who sang about them. We have become a nation that looks at form rather than substance. It’s time to start digging down to the bedrock — pun very much intended.
Nag, what better way to get them than through the most famous one of their very own?
2016 Scottie the Coal Miner?

TRUMP SHOULD DO IT!!!!
How’s about both? Get the tune out there and the miners will follow. (Probably are already a significant number of them in the Trump camp, but you and I may not know them. Or see them.)
A poll was released earlier this week saying that at least 20% of demonrat voters said they would defect and vote for Trump. That with Hitlery Cankles’s latest scandal du jour keeps dragging her down.
I’m still a Cruz fan
Loretta a’int fooling no one. She wants The Donald to buy her a pair of boobs like his wife has so she can compete with Dolly. Guess she got tired of them keeping her toes warm in the winter.
Trump is a bag of dicks.
Seconded. May he munch on a sack of huge dicks and swiftly choke on one.
