Those hallmarks of Trumpism make the re-election campaign’s Mountain West claims seem rather delusional. Who speaks for voters living in and around the Rockies — or those of us who think like them? Even if we’re liberal, we tend to be less averse to gun rights than the big stars of the Democratic Party. We’re generally not brash like Mr. Trump and Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, and more quiet-spoken (consider the stereotype of the soft-spoken cowboy). It won’t matter too much next year; the 2020 census needs to happen before Electoral College votes shift and the Mountain West gain some political dominance.
