It’s Still Trump’s Country

Instapundit Glenn Reynolds links to a Politico article, which is referenced below, for the following choice quote (scroll down):
There are, after all, disparate realities—one inside the holy halls of the National Cathedral, where powerful people mourn the death of civility; and another in the surrounding city, where many of those same powerful people drive nails ever deeper into its coffin. And there is a greater juxtaposition still—this one between the virtue-signaling, convention-worshipping insiders of Washington and the mad-as-hell, burn-it-down voters in the provinces. This might not be Donald Trump’s town, but it’s still his country.
You have to read nearly to the end of a long article of Trump bashing to see the frank admission “it’s still his [Trump’s] country.” Do you have any faint inkling of how painfully this truth curdles their collective souls? Damn, it’s nearly as fine as the (classical reference alert) smell of napalm in the morning.
