Paris, Ky. — After Bill Bissett, the president of the Kentucky Coal Association, told me that “President Obama cares more about Paris, France, than he does about Paris, Kentucky” — a sentiment that seems broadly shared around here — I decided to check out this little town with a big name set amid the verdant undulations of picket-fenced Kentucky horse country. Soon enough I ran into Cindy Hedges, whose boot store stands on Main Street and whose hours, as described by a sign on the door, are: “If I’m here, I’m here. If I ain’t, I ain’t.”

I don’t think it’s just below the surface. I couldn’t get past the first 5 paragraphs.

I just got back from a ten day motorcycle trip through the back roads of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia. I saw so many yard signs for Trump/Pence that I lost count. Saw five with Hillary, one pro, two Hillary for Prison and two very large that had Hillarys picture on it with a Pinnochio nose growing, with the words “Trust me?”.

Not bad. This is coal country and the rust belt.

Somebody is just getting paid by the word count. Needed an editor. That article could have been twice as literate and half as long.

The smartest people in the room see us as a bunch of insular, backward hicks who fell out of the back of a truck.

No wonder Hillary lashed out in fury last night.

funny, if you strip away all the garbage the writer twists in there, you can read a Cold Anger simmering out there - ‘Trump is a doer, Hillary a corrupt liar’.

Sounds good to me if that is the zeitgeist of the masses.
