You are so wrong and out of touch with what middle America wants for this country. You really need to STOP talking DOWN to us

I'm a white guy from the Midwest. I know Trump voters well. They're just mean and dumb, trying to recreate a past that's long dead. SAD!

Indeed. I visited a Midwest state and the level of just plain stupidity was overwhelming. People were actually proud of being uneducated

These stories are pointless. Where in there was a concrete example of something Trump did in Year 1 which made life better? Which year then?

Mike Gronstal is a hero for holding that IA Senate majority years 6 longer than we should have. The man deserves a medal.

Gronstal personally held back all the IA GOP craziness for six legislative sessions, and he paid for it with his own political career.

6 more years of labor rights. 6 more years of voting rights. Kept the marriage amendments off the floor till after the Supreme Court ruling.

yes, we have a lot of rural areas...but don't give up on us yet. We are, by nature, more moderate here.

IMO Iowans (Nebraskans, et al) are kind + generous people who feel somewhat left behind. Sadly, Trump's rhetoric gave them unrealistic hope.
