Thanks for reading and stay tuned for twice-monthly installments all year. Meanwhile, would be remiss not to salute the modern-day David Broders in our profession, @VaughnHillyard & @daveweigel chief among them, who are out there talking to voters every single day. Invaluable. — PolitiTweet.org

@jbouie Oh for sure. I flicked at that in the piece, but could (and probably should) spend a lot more time on it. Ordinary partisanship felt like an afterthought in this setting. https://t.co/3Cl9HOymlk — PolitiTweet.org

Surprising things I took away: 1. Nearly every Trump voter I met said—unsolicited—they find his behavior inappropriate, unbecoming, etc 2. Whole lot of Second Amendment voters angry with the NRA giving them a bad name 3. Trump now more central to gunowner’s identity than guns — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, ended the day talking to a couple of oldtimers selling huge bags of shotgun shells. One told me he’s sick of the NRA, and said he disapproves of some of the newer weaponry being sold there. Then it got interesting: https://t.co/q6wBs8prmh — PolitiTweet.org

The challenge in categorizing voters is they’re often self-contradictory. Take Dave Coleman, a pastor and part-time police officer. He says @realDonaldTrump has been “a terrible role model for this nation.” And yet.... https://t.co/SHpQUNlLho https://t.co/4K5Aj5Fiyc — PolitiTweet.org

“He’s my n*gger,” the white man told me, referring to a black friend, not bothering to even look around first. He then described their proudly anti-PC routine of calling each other “Mastah” and “Toby.” He concluded: “Nobody can take a joke anymore.” https://t.co/SHpQUNlLho — PolitiTweet.org

I had a fascinating/gut-wrenching talk with Tom Eagle, a trucker who views Trump as an economic messiah. He REALLY wants to buy a home. But after getting crushed by the recession — and with retirement looming — he’s too scared. He and his wife plan to stay in their trailer. https://t.co/YxBjCVbNNa — PolitiTweet.org
