Another bit of info about Peggy:
You might imagine my shock at hearing that I was described as just “another Harley-riding redneck Trumper” by a supporter of my #NeverTrump US Senate primary opponent. Talk about a low information voter—this dude ain’t got a clue.
While it’s true that I make no bones about my support of our great president, Donald Trump, and I do love to ride my (American made, American proud) Harley, I’m not sure I fit the commonly understood definition of a redneck.
As an outspoken Trump supporting black conservative running against Democrat icon Dick Durbin, I’ve been called many names that center around color, but that color wasn’t red. I’m not offended for being called a redneck—I’m honored.
Where I come from, that term refers to someone who works outside with their hands and gets a sunburn right where that white collar would be—if they wore one. That kind of real work is done by so many who support our President
When the Establishment country club Republicans disparage the new working-class Republicans won over by Donald Trump, they are trying to minimize the importance of good people like farmers, mechanics, miners, construction workers, factory workers, and so many others.
Those same churchgoing, hardworking, patriotic, and proud American car, truck, or bike-owning union members who live in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania are the reason we have a great Commander-in-Chief today.

One more bit of info:
The Mitt Romney types, who shipped jobs overseas to make a quick buck, were the poster children of a country club Establishment Republican Party, so many good folks in the Midwest wanted no part of.
Donald Trump changed all that, he destroyed the old guard and put up a “under new management” sign on the GOP. He welcomed hard working white, black, Hispanic, and Asian voters to this party and made it great again. I ought to know because I’m one of them.
There it is!
