WASHINGTON-Here inside the Beltway bubble, we don't really know what's happening in real America. (To that end, the satellite radio monopoly has given a radio show to Salena Zito, chronicler of the salt of the earth for those people for whom Hillbilly Elegy is too heavy a lift.) Unlike many of the cynics and elitists hereabouts, I maintain an optimistic view of my fellow Americans out in the boonies. I think they're all going to get together next October and announce that it's all been an elaborate prank.
I hope that's the case because, otherwise…yikes. From The Buffalo News:
"I'd vote for him again 20 more times if I could," said Hal McWilliams, 59, a self-employed contractor from Portageville. "Build the wall! ...Democrats do everything in their power to destroy this country. Hillary Clinton was everything I am against. She was out to destroy the culture that made this country: Hard work, guns, freedom."… "He's about action," said Clark, who didn't vote for Trump but said he would do so if he could vote again now. "I believe he's doing pretty much everything he promised to do." That's what Keith and Bobbi Muhlenbeck think, too. "We love him," said Keith Muhlenbeck, 46. "We support him in everything he's doing. He's a businessman who knows how to get things done, and you can tell he has America's best interests at heart." Washington pundits might be criticizing Trump for his recent reversals on a number of policy issues, including trade with China and the future of the Export-Import Bank. But Bobbi Muhlenbeck sees the president as a tough talker who stands his ground. "I like that he doesn't back down," said Muhlenbeck's wife, 49....

Sorry, Charlie, I agree with the quotes from The Buffalo News!
Esquire; from Latin - self important douchebag
Charlie can’t believe people like Trump because HE doesn’t like Trump. And so he suffers astonishment and disbelief of positive comments.
How can we be so ignorant?? Not full of smartitude like him. Go collect a trophy for participating, Charlie
Charles has an election disorder, and is still obsessed that (due to goofy CA) Hillary won the popular vote.
His hatred of Trump voters is barely veiled.
In summary, call the waahmbulance.
Think hard Charlie. What does this tell you about his opponents in the Presidential campaign?
Lefties and especially damned “ELITISTS” just don’t get it.
FUChuck
boonies? STFU retard. You couldn’t drop a deer or fish a lake to save your life; literally!
I’ll stop there. So much more to say.
Pure abject projection. Every article written by people like this guy are exactly what they do to themselves. There is no way to reach someone as delusional and arrogant as this clown.
He's got that right. Free clue, Chuck: real America doesn't want to become another state of Mexico - or India.
Yup, that’s definitely an “esquire.” Can’t imagine what kind of self-important blowhard would be put that silly title after his name.
If this douche is picking on Salena, he’s on the wrong side of ANY argument. :)
Old hippie?
The man? certainly has a problem. Where’s the straitjacket?
How DC critters are stunned to learn voters have actually found ONE who actually keeps the promises made on the campaign trail. Until now, this is something quite foreign to them.
For that matter I would rather be an unsophisticated "Joe" from Mexico or India than a Beltway Bubblehead! lol
“Americans out in the boonies”? Come up here to ‘the boonies’ dirt bag. I’ll introduce you to my liberal eating pet Bear.....
Wikipedia says, “Charles Patrick “Charlie” Pierce (born December 28, 1953) is an American sportswriter, political blogger, author, and game show panelist.” Also east end of horse headed west.
Why doesn’t this leftist just paint “I still don’t get it” on his forehead and stop wasting his time? Get over it, ya hippie burnout, you lost.
