The Fight for America's Heartland 

We offer you page 198 from the book, BUTLER, by author Salena Zito, a veteran political reporter in Pennsylvania. 

     "There will never be another candidate like Trump...what I heard from so many voters. His detractors should understand, these voters are here to stay. They have seen what the power of the cultural curators...has done to their lives, and they have rejected it."

     "It took someone as brash, unconventional and strong as Trump to be the bull in the china shop. His supporters wanted...someone who, when shot, would stand up and say, "Fight, fight, fight." 

     "The elites tried to change their values and their children's values. Elite reporting was biased against them. The universities had lost credibility, and corporations had decided to dump loyalty to them to satisfy a narrow consumer base." 

     "This will come as a surprise to some, but Trump did not create this coalition. He is the result of it. Both parties have changed. Republicans are now the party of working-class Americans, and Democrats are the party of the elites."

     Zito wrote of Trump's step down the escalator nine years ago. "What journalists missed and every working-class person heard was a speech he gave on the dignity of work - a speech not much different from the one Bill Clinton delivered in 1992. Trump's speech was delivered in an unconventional way that people would see for the next eight years."
