text: 1000 workers, actually. I see you're already inflating facts and fostering falsehood. The plant had 2,100, Trump managed to save 1000 jobs by promising Carrier the moon, and probably offering its parent company lucrative defense contracts. But anyhow the number is 1000, not 1500. 
  
  PS  Perhaps you're right, and Democrats lost because they ignored Middle America. That does not mean that Middle Americans did not make a terribly uninformed choice by voting for a clueless demagogue who told them a pack of lies, and has no real intention of making America great for anyone other than himself and his family. Might still does not make right, in case you didn't know.
