It's bizzare how the liberal media thinks that Democrats are going to have a suburban and rural landslide by basically trashing rural areas.
Do they really think rural and suburban areas are going to rush to them like a lap-dog with their demeaning, arrogant and ignorant trashing of rural and suburban Americans.
Here is a story with a photograph of a shed falling apart in rural Pennsylvania with Trump painted on it.
Another magazine had a massive article with the main picture being a rusted trailer with a "Vote Trump" sign on a dry-looking field.
It just seems like the Democrats and Liberals have basically lost it and decided that by mocking and shaming rural America that they are going to get their vote.
It's okay now for formally respected and high circulation magazines that used to be mainstream to openly have pictures of tractors and call rural American hillbillies.
Democrats try to claim that the impacted by Republicans will rural voters and suburban voters and that liberal big cities are going to benefit hugely under Trump.
I have lived in rural states and fact of the matter is they tend to own their homes and land, many times out right. They don't swim in debt like liberal, coastal cities.
Suburban liberal here.
Just saying.
I know liberals who live in suburban America. PLENTY OF THEM.
I also know some who live in rural areas. Yes, we see more rural people voting conservative, but you cannot assume they always will.

They will unless the Dems start talking to them again.
Depends on how much damage the Trump admin does to them, don't you think?
I mean, let's be serious... if they get hammered worse on Trump's watch, they'll just flip.
That's how Clinton lost some states that she really should have won. Those people didn't do well under 8 years with a Dem president. They aren't thinking logically, about who controls Congress.
People don't really know that much about politics.

You're not wrong. There is an element in the party on the coasts who think that the rest of the country needs to catch up with them, without realizing that the rest of the country has different concerns than they do.
To win big in 2018, the party must ignore that element. It must concentrate on the independents who voted for a president who promised them better jobs and better health care, and who has thus far not delivered on that.
.
To win, Dems must defeat the element known as the liberal elitists.

Who said suburbanites don't vote for liberals? The suburbs of Chicago, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, ect. are a sea of blue. Even conservative areas like Orange County and Cobb County went for Hillary this time around.
I think this is what those wealthy contributors to the campaigns like to hear, unfortunately, although they funded media blitz and protesters, each one only got one vote at the booths.
Difference between repubs and dems, repubs don't exploit people for gain.
Oh how quickly we forget!
Obviously you forgot about Trump University. 25 million dollar fine for Fraud committed on the common man, people who are just trying to get ahead. Can't blame Obama for that one. What excuse are you going to come up with for that?
And lets see 4 times Trump files for bankruptcy. You know what that means, he exploited people for his own gain.

OP, it's no different than the media portraying "all" African Americans as hood rats. Remember,...
The truth doesn't matter, it's what's perceived to be the truth that matters. Their goal is to make everyone in suburban and rural area's out to look like they walk right out of Deliverance country.
Strangely though, even though people who are in these groups know their group is not portrayed correctly, they automatically believe the media's portrayal of the other group who is being disrespected.
I think it is a rather brilliant plan. A couple years of media bombardment of how anyone not living in a coastal city is a complete moron...and those targeted will up and leave the country. This will open the door to the election of a Oligarchy puppet running under the guise of being a populist candidate. Wont even have to be a woman or long-standing minion of the government for flair or 'qualifications'...probably a recently ex-Wall Street CEO looking for a new hobby will work just fine.
Classroom bullying 101, should be quite the triumph.
