text: I am thrilled that Hillary experienced Alaska in this way.  Have we ever had a presidential election where the West seems to be so totally ignored and unrepresented?  Trump is nothing but a New Yorker.  Not sure he believes there is anything of value west of the Hudson.  Clinton is a mid-westerner turned eastern seaboard with some southern thrown in (Arkansas).  And now we know she had the desire to see Alaska and in a time when it was quite an adventure to carry out that dream.  That is a good thing for us.
