TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - At the Vigo County Fair in Indiana, amid the familiar sights and smells and sounds, we found supporters of President Trump eager to push back against the big story of the week in Washington.
Brenda Wilson says she is "not at all" troubled by the Russia investigation.
"There's nothing to it," Wilson said.
Even with Donald Trump Jr.'s admitted meeting with the Russians, Wilson says she thinks "his son was trying his best to be as transparent as he possible could." She said the meeting itself isn't troubling to her. "No," she said. "That happens."
Brenda and Fred Wilson were on the same page.
"So far I've seen enough of Russia to say, 'til something else pops up that's pretty big, I'm not concerned about that right now," Fred Wilson said.
We met the Wilsons and their friends at the Republican Party picnic on the fairgrounds. "Russia, Russia, Russia," said Gary Riggs, who said he's 200 percent satisfied with the president's performance. He believes reporters are just getting in the way.

Willful ignorance is not pretty. But speaking as one who's been to Indiana the collective IQ drops the further one gets out of Indianapolis or Chicago.

You leave population centers/college towns
Even the bluest states are pockets of relative sanity swimming in a sea of delusion
Illusion
Confusion
Collusion

(21,506 posts)What has he done you are proud of.
Never.
I do it with every Trump supporter I talk to and invariably they are left sputtering because he hasn't done much of anything.
Worse the stuff he has done when pointed out to them is invariably not something they agreed with except perhaps the travel ban that seemingly they all think is awesome.

Is it me or do the people in the photograph for this article look like they have a few chromosomes missing. Maybe their brain is underdeveloped hence the Neanderthal look.
