I love reading all these stories about how people in rural areas and exurban areas will turn against Trump.
Other then a few university towns in rural areas, middle-America is solidly Republican and there is nothing that the Republicans can do to change that.
The liberal media goes to the most liberal towns and tries to track down liberals. Most of these network reporters went to private coastal journalism colleges and they don't know the heartland lifestyle.
Just because of a small protest at a meeting in Utah and a college demonstration here and there, the Midwest and South are getting more and more Republican by the day and they control the electoral votes.
Florida is getting more and more conservative retirees, going from purple to red. The retirees are flocking to places like Sarasota, Punta Gorda and Melbourne turning Florida which guarentees a Republican advantage.
The Democrats trash-talk the South and Midwest and could hardly even win Minnesota this time around, never mind Trump landslides in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The liberals fantasize about Texas becoming Democratic but it will be decades and decades more at least.
The Democrats need to realize that Democrat party is a coastal party. Rural areas, the south and midwest are more and more Republican.
I have lived in the heartland, middle-America and on the plains and they despise and joke about the coasts and their values.
I lived in Nebraska and Dave Heinemann along with many other middle-American governors loved to trash-talk the coastal elites and lifestyle.
Many liberals on the coasts would never visit middle-America except Chicago or for a day or two business trip.
Liberals in Los Angeles and San Francisco really have no idea about much at odds their value system and mentality is with people in the heartland.

No one disputes this. The coasts feel the same way about flyover country. This is not news. We just need to find a way not to fund them. We want our tax dollars benefiting us, not red states.

You are the MINORITY party, which provides you no voice. The majority decides the funding pattern.
Republicans blame rich coastal elites for all that is wrong with this country.........so they elect a rich, coastal elite as President to fix that.
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.

Fine. Get rid of most federal taxes and allow state and local governments self fund.
It's not conservatives screaming for a monstrous federal government.

I live in flyover country. MN, SD, ND and NE have some of the lowest unemployment rates in the US. So I don't really get the jobs argument.
