Trump towers in Missouri’s Mercer County, which favors The Donald


Several miles east in the town of Ravanna, a Trump banner eight feet wide stretches across the yard of Kathy and Bruce Cassidy. Extension cords carry juice to illuminate the display at night.

“We’re Trumpians and proud of it,” said Kathy Cassidy, who would advise Trump to quit interrupting Clinton in debates.

“Just let her talk and dig her own hole,” she said. “She calls us deplorables. A person like that can’t connect with middle-income or lower-income Americans.”

As for Trump using crude language in a video that caught him bragging about groping women, Kathy Cassidy is OK with the candidate’s apology for his “locker room talk.” She said that’s what men do when they get together.

The video hit the news a day before the the biannual meeting of Republican women representing several counties in north Missouri. Sealine attended along with 30 other GOP faithful, and not one rescinded their support of Trump.

“They felt that we probably all have said things 10 or 11 years ago that we wished we hadn’t,” Sealine said.
