The first veto of the president’s second term killed legislation that would have brought clean water to some of the most conservative parts of the state. Residents wonder why.

Probably because he wasn't bribed to grant the project. Oh well, the tRump voters can die of thirst in that conservative area of Colorado. It's what they wanted by voting for it, and nothing of value will be lost.

It's too bad these people were blinded by hate and ignored what was being told to them, and didn't bother with any sort of free thinking.

Maybe they will learn, but they will probably just fall for the next lie.
