While the left becomes more unhinged and giddy at questionable, overly biased MSM reporting, the right keeps a steady course.
Full speed ahead......
Today, almost 100 days after President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, many Americans still remain suspended at the stroke of midnight, Nov. 8, 2016. On that day, those who voted for him were giddy and optimistic, and those who never saw it coming felt disbelief and repulsion, refusing to concede that he won. And now? “Nothing has changed,” said Rob Hughes, a registered Democrat and retired businessman from Bulger, Pa., who I met on my cross-country trip, told me last week. “Well, that’s probably not entirely true. I think I like him more now that he is the president.”
Trump’s supporters are unfazed that a new health-care law is not in place (yet), thrilled with the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, weary of the constant accusations of his ties to Russia, supportive of his strike against Syria for using chemical weapons against its people and dismayed that House Republicans and Democrats are unwilling to compromise. To them, the president remains disruptive, unconventional, defiant and willing to change his mind — appealing attributes to his supporters, but not so to the press.
Many people I spoke to were still undecided right up until Election Day. Michelle Barnett, who was outside her home in Timnath, Co., tending to her decorative gourds last fall when we first met, was one of them.
Although her husband, David, with whom she co-owns a small outdoor-equipment and parts store in Fort Collins, was all in for Trump, Michelle was not. But when it came down to it, “At the very last minute, I pulled the trigger for Trump,” Barnett said. “I just could not abide voting for those corrupt Clintons.”
So far, she hasn’t regretted her decision. “Up until the strike in Syria earlier this month, I was fine with how the president has been. Now I will keep an eye on him. As long as that was not a sign of more interference in that country, I am fine with that. But if he does start to make this into the next Iraq, I will be unhappy with him,” she said.
And her husband, David? “Oh, he just loves him. Loves him. Loves everything he does,” she said.
Last year, after the second presidential debate, she was the only person in a room filled with mostly Democrats in suburban Omaha who paced the floor with anxiety, worried that perhaps Trump did better than Clinton — “At least in the eyes of the voters that count,” she said.
She was right.
And she still does not like him.
“I was very concerned before the election but am completely and totally shocked at what a train wreck he has been from every single angle,” she said.
