If you think about what folks have been doing for 20 or 30 years, they have been bottling frustration and resentment that the political elites don't understand them, that the political elites don't care about them, that the political elites judge them in various ways. All Donald Trump does is provide the opposite of those things.

Trump brings power to those who hate their lack of it, and his message is tonic to communities that have felt nothing but decline for decades.

My fear with Trump was always that he didn't have great solutions.
