Related: About this forumBIG RED: Rural Nebraska counties were among nation's top Trump-supporting areas in election
By Joe Duggan and Jeffrey Robb
HYANNIS, Neb. If the incoming leader of the free world ever pulls on a pair of cowboy boots and treads the sandy soils of Grant County, he can shout This is Trump country! to the endless horizon.
Bigly, he might add for emphasis.
Unlike the tears, protests and Not My President posters that erupted in urban Nebraska after Donald Trumps improbable White House victory, most residents of rural Nebraska had smiles on their faces and a little more giddyap in their strides.
Relieved, said Cliff Dailey, a businessman and elected official in Hyannis, a village of 185 people roughly 365 miles northwest of Omaha. Id say they were just relieved. Everybody was just shaking their heads and smiling and saying I cant believe we won.
