The media assault on Trump could win him a second term

GENEVA, OHIO — Dennis Dixon didn’t vote for Donald J. Trump. For the first time in his 46 years, the self-described “moderate Midwestern Republican” sat out a presidential election because he was less than thrilled with both major candidates. “I wrote in John Kasich,” he says, with a trace of humor.

Dixon stands in the showroom of Griffiths Furniture along West Main Street — a charming business district, its sidewalks decorated with grape-vine etchings to celebrate the produce for which this Ohio wine region is known. He is not one of those voters who doesn’t wish success for the president.

Quite the contrary, in fact.

“If he continues to stick to his guns and do what he is doing, I’d vote for him if he ran again,” Dixon says.

He may not have liked the candidate but he is “enjoying the heck out of his presidency.”

What he likes about Trump is his determination on certain issues, “but he is also willing to show flexibility when it counts. That is the kind of outside non-politician behavior that attracted a lot of voters to him.”

He also is frustrated by the way the national press treats Trump in comparison to President Obama: “They really do not give him a fair shake.”

The problem for the Democrats in 2020 is they’re going to be losing even more of the white working class voters that were once their most solid voting bloc.

I bought a washer dryer set and a gas range from that store 30 years ago.

I imagine this guy was in diapers at the time.

My communist cousin was pushing Kasich. If he liked him, I thought he must be bad. Libs touted him as the only acceptable republican.
