Crapo: Idaho is what USA should be

In a guest opinion, Sen. Mike Crapo comments on his townhall meetings in every incorporated Coeur d’Alene town:

“Thank you to the approximately 4,000 Idahoans who attended the town meetings I held in every incorporated city in Idaho over the past two years.  Your thoughtful insights reinforce my belief that the best solutions for good governing come from the ground up. ”

“The angst in our country is clear.  Much of this frustration is driven by decisions and politics in Washington, DC.  I decided the best thing to do is to reach out to the entire state and listen, but not just listen in the traditional way, through emails, letters, meetings and calls, although these are all important.  The best way to hear clearly from Idahoans all across the state is to get in a car and travel the state.  This started about 22 months ago when I met with my staff and proposed the idea of visiting every town in Idaho.  A member of my staff suggested starting with incorporated towns.  We found that Idaho has exactly 200 incorporated towns.” More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with Sen. Crapo that Idaho is what the USA should be?
