McCaskill: Turns Out Donald Trump ‘Knew Our Country Better than We Did’

EXCERPT:

MCCASKILL: “Yeah, I think Donald Trump, it turned out that he knew our country better than we did. And I’m not sure I agree with a lot of what Joy said, but I think a lot of this is not the candidates, it’s the country. And I think Donald Trump understood that what he could do — and I don’t think his mistakes were mistakes. I think his mistakes were strategic and turned out to be right on the money. Because I think our party — I grew up in a party where we were for the underdog, we were for the little guy. We are now the elite. We are no longer seen as the party for the little guy. He was seen as the party for the little guy. He was seen as the ultimate disruptor. And yes, the edges were very rough, but in everyone’s own minds, they sanded them down to the point of acceptability. And as it turns out, there’s a lot of craving in America for fear and anger.”
