The 37-year-old Democrat stopped at The Mill just off of Highway 20 and spent the majority of his hour long visit with a pair of retired Republicans from the Parkersburg area talking health care, education, tax incentives and agricultural policy over coffee before soldiering on with his Hometown Values Tour amidst flurries and temperatures dipping into the low 30s.

For the first time in my life, I felt a sense of fear, loathing and dread about attending a concert on Friday evening, and I’ve been to plenty. During an intermission before Chris Stapleton, the man all 12,500 of us at Wells Fargo Arena had come to see, took the stage, Kellie caught me gazing off into the rafters and asked me what I was thinking about.
