Even more true in the South than the heartland. Of the Southern states, the ONLY one the Democrats have flipped is Virginia, and that is only due to Yankee transplants and illegal aliens in the DC area, and why they promote illegal immigration so much. But the Virginia state legislature is actually controlled by Republicans because of the rural areas, including the rural southwest part that depends on coal, which Obama has promised to destroy, and Hillary too.
Georgia, NC, Florida ALL voted for Trump. West Virginia is now permanently a Red State on the national level and while the governor is a Democrat, both houses of our state legislature are controlled by the Republicans and a simple majority is enough to override the governor. For this reason we passed more pro-life laws and more right to work laws last year. We are finding a way to finally force Planned Parenthood out and to close the last few abortion clinics in the state and to undo the damage of Obamacare, and to support our coal miners and natural gas workers.
However while the Democrats have few inroads in the South, Trump has been able to take Pennsylvania, the only state north of the Mason Dixon Line to go Republican in generations. Wisconsin too.
in the west, Nevada and Colorado are only Democrat because of California transplants and illegal immigration. Everyone I know who is a native Nevadan or Coloradan resents these changes in their states. My friend who lives in the Las Vegas Valley tells me illegal alien crime is now rampant with gangs everywhere, making their way over from LA. A majority of the crime there is committed by illegal aliens. Colorado has also seen a tremendous surge in illegal alien gangs.
And Trump HAS helped us. Even in working class major cities, Americans have lost their jobs to illegal aliens, and I'm glad more of them are being deported. My parents are LEGAL immigrants and if someone is illegal they need to be sent out of our nation and never allowed back. I also would NOT like to see Muslim refugees come here.
Trump has helped West Virginia already by getting the EPA to back off and new coal mining operations are starting up again, creating jobs and tax revenue. Trump also helped save many American jobs like at GM, Ford and Carrier.
All Obama has done is keep our border unsecured so illegals and drugs come, and send American jobs overseas through free trade agreements. Same with Bill Clinton. Obama and Bill are the two worst presidents in my lifetime.

What new coal mining operations are starting up again in West Virginia? Already West Virginia has almost 10% of the state on Disability and Medicare and we pay for that. What coal mining has "started up" again exactly?
Whatever Trump does or doesn't do, I don't care. I just love that with Trump, flyover country has no one to blame for their unemployment, etc. He better find a way to give them jobs because they seem to consider education "elitist". The coasts will just keep moving forward and ignoring them. If anything, the election of Trump will serve to divide the country further because there is absolutely no motivation to work with him or the middle of the country and both sides feel equally about the other.
I just love how the liberals pretend that middle-America has no jobs, is poverty-ridden and every one lives in a trailer.
I have lived in middle-America and been to California many, many times. Middle-class Middle-America lives much, much better then people in California live at the same income level.
They won't visit Middle America and they stereotype based on fake news stories about the economically depressed cities the liberal media can find.
People in the heartland live much better then people in California live.
I was in Norwalk, California and the city was mainly tiny apartments and homes that were very outdated and it has a median house income of $60,000. The liberals living there pay $500,000 or more to live in a 1,000 square foot home in a run-down industrial area.
Compare that people to people in Bellevue, Nebraska or Utah County, Utah who live in nice, huge McMansions with spotless streets for $300,000 with incredibly low taxes.
Besides looks like many flyover metro areas have plenty of jobs.
Sioux Falls has 2.4% unemployment rate, Provo, Utah has 2.5% unemployment rate, Fargo has 2.7% unemployment rate.

If California is so rich why such tiny homes there compare to the heartland, no wonder everyone is sneezing and coughing in California.

And Seattle has 3.1%, but also has Puget Sound, whales and incredible beauty. Why would I want to go to Iowa when I have that???

Give it a rest, if you like flyover country so much, move there and stop creating these dumb threads. I mean, are you a travel agent or something? And you just can't resist bashing California. What did California ever do to you to have such an obsessive hatred for it?
No Middle America for Dems = No More Dems as POTUS.
