Trump plays well in poor, economically depressed, all white locales with a history of substance abuse and lack of educational opportunities.
That stereotype doesn’t exactly work in this case. Richmond is a college town and is is close enough to be considered an extended bedroom community of Lexington. Lexington has always been economically stable, and aside from having one of the lowest unemployment rates nationally for a city its size for almost 40 years, it is among the top tier in per capita adults with post graduate degrees in the nation. Both places have significantly lower crime rates than average for areas of their size. Not exactly meeting up to your ugly little stereotype, is it?

It really hurts you to see Trump has great support especially among working class people. I'm glad.
The jealousy of the left is at record levels and its never a good look. All the while Trump and his supporters have a great time celebrating America and prosperity.
On the left we see them double down on hate. Hate America, hate Trump, hate individual freedom, hate anyone with the freedom to speak their own mind with a different view than the George Soros funded collective.

But, but it’s not Chicago, NYC, DC, LA, SF etc. Everyone else is trash in their mind
Not sure there's 50k... that's 1/2 a packed college stadium in the SEC. But, it is common for him to pull in 20-25k inside and still have several thousand outside.
Seems like his crowds are actually getting bigger, especially with all the winning.

Clinton played well in black and Hispanic economically depressed urban areas with a history of gang violence and drug saturation, with zero educational opportunity.
It's very easy to make blanket statements which sound intelligent, while being utter nonsense.

Why are the left getting angrier and more violent if they honestly believe they'll be enjoying a blue wave?

Interestingly, Lexington/Fayette County voted decisively against Trump in 2016. The only other part of Kentucky that he didn't carry was Louisville/Jefferson County. I'm guessing many of the rally attendees are not from Lexington, but instead rural areas across central and eastern Kentucky, where Trump is far more popular, residents have lower educational attainment and the economy is much weaker. He is likely rallying in this area because of concern around the 6th district's Republican congressman getting a strong Democratic opponent. No Senate or Governor race this year in Kentucky and he'll win the state easily in 2020, so there is no other reason for him to show up. He'll link the Democrat to open borders, crime, higher taxes, Pelosi and Clinton and all the usual left-wing demons. Probably he will mention coal mines opening up several times as well.
All of these trump rally threads are the same. Bla bla trump. Bla bla liberals. Bla bla Obama and or Hillary. just a lot of bad blood and name calling.

They are Americans. What has Obama and the Democrats done to help these Americans? Oh that's right, they did nothing. The Democrats are more concerned with fighting for illegals.

And all the Trump bashing threads are the same too.
