Does no one realize that Clinton won only 2 out of 120 counties in KY? Only the two counties with the two largest cities went for Clinton. Therefore, on a good day and not every day in KY, only 2 counties are blue, LOL.
So those great new jobs if we are to believe this are in the largest 2 cities in the only two Democratic counties. No shocker that the largest cities would have the largest job growth. This isn't really rocket science now is it?

The entire point of these very small articles is to Suppress the Republican Vote in Elections.
That's it ..... what they actually point out is that Nationwide - Democrat Majority areas are benefiting from the Trump Policy. Maybe a few Democrat voters are smart enough to figure that out.

CA also has Silicon Valley which drives much of our nations economy and is one of two industries really keeping US as leader in economic affairs. What does KY have ? Coal and Coach Calipari?

I don't see where that's the point. It doesn't change the fact that CA has a massive drug addiction issue. Is drug addiction better because drug addicts have a better paying job, LOL.
And please explain to the large number of people in CA living in the street that they are driving the nations economy. I'm sure that will make their day.

Let me know when San Francisco and NYC head to the GOP (two places cited in the article).
It's hysterical how delusional Trumpsters think anything Daddy does helps the economy rather than just leeching off of the path that was set in place during Obama's time in office, a recovery off the backs of the "coastal elites" who are now apparently all ready to switch over to Trump? Who knew...
You are so right. Hard to argue with such logic and facts.

So the "coastal elites" were all rooting for Trump now?

Will wonders never cease?

Nor is the reverse.

People who live in populated areas, the economic growth areas, tend to be Democrats.

How did this thread get sidetracked into the best states to cop meth in?

Has there been an economic boom from meth labs in rural areas?

Are meth labs benefiting from Trump's economic policies?

What?

In short, counties that voted for Trump are suffering more than ever.

This is what I understand of Kentucky. Alot of people think more about Appalachia when they think of the state. Most of the state's population lives towards Louisville, Lexington, and the Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati. The two most Democratic counties in Kentucky, Jefferson and Fayette(where Louisville and Lexington are located, respectively) are the most populated counties in Kentucky. This is where alot of the money is too.
