"Mike Staudt, a retired farmer from Marble Rock, voted for Mr. Obama in 2012, but called the Affordable Care Act a form of socialism. He said he had no problem with a candidate who had run as the voice of the working people but was stocking his cabinet with the ultrawealthy.

If they replace their own concerns with the concerns of the country, they can make things really move forward. That’s what I’m excited about.”"
