So, why do you have an issue with rural people? Why are their concerns not important?

Hummm...floundering maybe?
Almost every rural county in the country is losing population and therefore struggling.

What's the point of this observation? A throng of first time low information voters put Obama in office twice. Suddenly the left cares about the education level of who's voting? Weird.

Surprise, first Jonathan Gruber, a liberal saying "the stupidity of the American voter" and now the The Washington Post, liberal outlet calling Americans uneducated.

My issue is the GOP disregards all major population centers. Rural regions should only matter to the extent of % of population they represent.

Yes - I'm pretty sure Trump isn't doing well with the Obama cash voters:

I'm not so sure that anyone is all that enamored with Trump, as they are disgusted and fed-up with the Washington and media 'spin doctors.' Who wouldn't like to get rid of ALL the Washington politicians and replace them with people who have actually accomplished something or works for a living, ... or even a group of non-partisan chimpanzees? Thomas Jefferson was right, "May God protect us from politicians who take our money under the pretense of 'taking care of us'".
Agreed. The US "capital" is pretty much a bad joke and I'm trying to be nice.

Factory jobs are not mindless. Beyond factory jobs, which can be exported, there are construction, restaurant and hotel jobs. They have always been here. As you have illustrated, brain power is limited.

Why do you want to take jobs of the lowest skilled Americans? Why do you support the exportation of factory jobs and the importation of workers for all other low skilled jobs? Why don't you support Americas poor working class?

1 word. Fear. The Dems are spooked between Hillary's rep getting worse and Trump's getting better.
