Hardball In Dayton!

Chris Matthews comes to Dayton to discuss how Trump won America's rust belt.

Chris Matthews finished his taping in Dayton, Ohio. The MSNBC agitator came to the heart of America's rust belt for a candid discussion with residents who voted for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

Matthews is doing a tour of the Midwest. This is one of the key regions that Republicans need to secure in order for Donald J. Trump to continue his legacy. Trump carried Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The states went to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. They went to Trump in 2016.

Montgomery County is a swing county. Trump won this county by six points. He visited the Dayton region twice whereas Clinton never visited. It made a huge difference.

Matthews talks to local officials and members of community for a rousing discussion on whether Trump or the Democratic nominee can win Ohioans.

Dayton has suffered from the loss manufacturing, a local hospital, many restaurants and grocery stores and technology firms.

It was also the area hardest hit from major tornadoes.
