Rural vs urban voting patterns

Rockefeller GOP I solute you in your cause of disproving the democrats propaganda that the majority of republican voters are poor uneducated whites.

True.  Also, keep in mind Evangelicals of virtually all education levels (I suppose I'm not sure aobut PHD's) tend to vote Republican.  There are far too many simplifications along the lines of "The GOP is just uneducated rural white rednecks," even though it certainly has a degree of truth to it.

I think what's annoying to many is that 1) it's still not that true at all, and 2) Democrats have been pushing that narrative for a LONG time, starting way back when it DEFINITELY wasn't true (2000 and earlier).

Donald Trump running on Democrat Party idea's? He hasn't done that.

...That's sarcasm, right?

Protectionism, higher taxes on the wealthy, universal health care coverage at minimum, etc...

Other than the foul-mouthed racist and jingoist talk, he's a walking billboard in many cases for Democratic economic ideology. In fact, put him in the South 30 years ago and he'd fit right in.

Which, unfortunately for many Republicans like me, is exactly why he's doing so well with the group that he's winning and exactly what is so alarming about his current polls status.
