Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : "As long as rural America is treated with disdain," Jacobs and Shea write, "should we really be surprised when, once again, it reluctantly turns to Trump?"
44% : Budanov is steely in David's profile, and it's wild to read his record of service, but his quotes are mostly what you'd expect -- about Ukrainian resolve, Putin's hubris, etc. -- until he gets to Donald Trump.
42% : Propagating "angry redneck" stereotypes only adds to that frustration -- and carries with it political consequences.
36% : David writes that Budanov's opinion of Trump surprised even him -- though maybe it's all just tradecraft and a testament to "what a canny intelligence operator" the dark prince is.
