Rural Northerners are not as large a percentage of their region's population, and are not given disproportionate voice in primary season vs that % they represent.
So, why do you have an issue with rural people? Why are their concerns not important?
How's that different to any rural area? What does the south have to do with it? All rural areas are behind economically. Same is true in all states. Unless there is a boom in natural resources, rural areas tend not to be economical powerhouses. NY city is a pretty successful area economically. How's rural upstate NY doing? 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.

Yes - I'm pretty sure Trump isn't doing well with the Obama cash voters:
There is far too little evidence and it is WAY to early to tell, to make such broad generalizations, without appearing to have lost a lot of brain cells. But, the Washington Post IS the Washington Post.
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.
Times change. Asia provides our inexpensive brawn now. That leaves us competing via brainpower.
Those who do not wish to adapt are free to do so. They can wait for those mindless factory jobs of yesteryear to return. (LOL)
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.
