Rural Americans felt abandoned by Democrats in 2016, so they abandoned them back

I was watching on youtube yesterday videos of Obama in Iowa in 2008; this was in august '08 and he was just having an outdoors town hall with people. There's certainly a need for democrats at the presidential level to focus on rural areas.

There is the interesting question of how they actually do it? It's like people who say Republicans need to win urban/young voters in blue states; everyone agrees they should do it but it's more complex than changing your message/throwing money at it
