Fred F. Holt: Middle-class America’s choice

The Nov. 10 editorial “Trump’s angry message” and Garrison Keillor’s nasty column “Done. Over. He’s here. Goodbye,” each disparaging Donald Trump and his voters to varying degrees, were synergistic but wrong.

Had you paid attention to the Nov. 10 letter “Trump can end entitlement,” you would have had a better understanding of this election.

“Middle-class” Americans are fed up with arrogant, wasteful, incompetent, top-down, know-it-all government, and we showed it in the proper, constitutional way. It’s really that simple.
