Trumpmania eclipses Bush at twin New Hampshire townhalls

Trump supporters seem content with those generalities because they like his style and background. After the main gathering in the school auditorium, Trump held a brief separate session in the packed overflow room. When Barbi Desroches, from nearby Methuen, Mass., told Trump of her three college-age kids struggling to pay for school and find jobs after graduation, the candidate nodded and simply said he would bring the jobs back. When a young audience member said he has been “screwed” by the current administration in terms of opportunities, Trump said that under his watch, young people would have “really great jobs.”

Desroches said that while she wanted to hear more from Trump, his answer was sufficient: “He’s always done what’s right for his company so he’s going to do what’s right for his nation.”

Right now, at least, specifics don’t seem to matter for those who like Trump. It’s the overall message that resonates.

“We love it,” said Cheryl Hollands. “We are sick of being told we can’t say certain things. They want to excommunicate him, but people want to support him, and they want him to keep going. They want to see what’s going to happen next.”
