Bos has two daughters, with a third due in January. At the grocery store, five items cost as much as a full cart once did. And on Wednesday, Bos and nearly 1,400 other people were laid off from their jobs at what had been the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio.

Asked how many times he had voted for Trump, Bos held up three tattooed fingers. But he said he’s done with the president.

    Trump could do what the Democrats never could, put a Democrat from Texas in the US Senate.

          You used the whole thing in past tense, as if the event already happened, not future tense.

          What you wanted to say was “Trump did what the Democrats never could; make it very likely for a Texas Democrat to be elected to the Senate.”

          By saying “put” you implied the event already came to pass.

          English is a dumb language though so understandable for your mistake to be made.

          Edit: correction; I missed the first “could” and only saw the second “could”. My mistake - the sentence is grammatically correct. Though this is a fine example of why English is a dumb language. Still not as bad as Finnish I’d say (sorry Finns the country and everything is great to me but we gotta fix the language, too many exceptions like English except unlike English you just get misunderstood since so few letters of the alphabet are typically used to make words. Old Finnish had more order than Modern Finnish).

            The “could” earlier in the sentence applies to the phrase beginning with “put”. The grammar is fine, though the sentence is a little long.

      That’s where we should be different. We should want them to see the error of their ways, but we shouldn’t want anybody to struggle to get food on the plate.

    “This year’s election is a test for the working-class coalition that lifted Trump into the White House and gave majorities to Republicans in the House and Senate” - the under-educated coalition? This is the only reason working class would vote Republican. Oh, hold on, bigotry too.

    Sipping tea from beer mugs with his co-workers…

    What the fuck??? Who does that? The lead photo in the article clearly shows them drinking beer. Such a weird sentence.
