I don't know about "willing", but if Trump's presidency doesn't change voting patterns at least somewhat, it's completely hopeless. That man is a bloody disaster.

I like him more than I did when I voted for him. I didn't really believe he'd take his campaign promises so seriously. Sure, I can gripe:
* I don't like the situation with the FCC and net neutrality.
* She isn't locked up yet. Neither is Obama.
* There are still Muslims sneaking into our country. The numbers are reduced, but they need to be negative. We need action that will ultimately reduce the infestation to zero.
* The DACA people are still here, mostly.
* I'm really impatient about the wall. At least we have prototypes and a budget. I'm not satisfied with anything less imposing than the Korean DMZ.
Thing is though, Hillary would have done better on at most 1 of those. We're making progress. You could even say we have hope and change, finally fulfilling Obama's empty promise.
You're out of touch with mainstream America if you don't feel the love for President Trump. Probably you hate America. If I could physically do it, I'd have a huge silly grin 24x7. President Trump has done so many wonderful things for our country.

Outside your bubble, there were Trump signs everywhere and giant rallies. Yes, really, a large part of America loves President Trump. The vast majority of the counties voted for him.

This is getting pretty funny. I don't even know what point you're trying to make besides finding different ways to describe rural areas.

Donald Trump Jr. is getting $100,000 for university speech sponsored by GOP donor’s company [washingtonpost.com]

That isn't even remotely similar aside from being a paid speech.
There is a group that sponsors events to fund National Merit Scholarships for UNT students. It's funded by various corporations, probably as a mix of good PR, trying to win favor with employable students, and CEOs having a personal desire to help the university. Being in Texas, obviously the companies and the speakers and the students are all generally conservative Americans.
There is a legit purpose here, that being the scholarships. There isn't a foreign connection. There isn't even really a business connection; all you have is that companies which donate to the GOP also happen to donate for National Merit Scholarships at a school in Texas.
This is yet another nothingburger.
Bill Clinton on the other hand, didn't have any good purpose for giving a speech in Russia. It's hard to imagine any non-corrupt reason that Russians would pay him.

Selling the Russian's Uranium? Or the Clintons receiving money from several people closely associated with Uranium One and Bill receiving speaking fees?
Both happened. The best you can claim is that it was just coincidence. It all comes down to whether you think a woman who lied at being shot at in Kosovo, has promised on tape her funders different things than her voters, and was fired from her first law job for lying, is telling the truth about receiving a ton of money from Uranium One associates and then helping lubricate the wheels in getting a transfer approved.
