(280 posts)people/the media/institutions have consistently referred to that "Midwest" part of the country as "the heartland" for as long as I can remember.

It's definitely not GOP terminology.

(34,857 posts)There's so many great, unique areas of America. Every region. Every state. Every metro. I love the major US cities and the rural small towns. I am not one about rah-rah, America awesome! But holy shit I love how vast and expansive and diverse this country is.

His story is the American story values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others."
