Hard to get real interested about what happens in Buttcrack, MS

"Those racist, "N*****"-hating, Bible-thumping, God-fearing, gay-bashing, do gooder, neo-Nazi, neo-Confederate, inbred, ignorant hillbilly bumpkins ain't worth our time!"

Except for do-gooder were on the same page.

Do-gooder or not, "hillbilly bumpkins" (or those who fit that description/stereotype) have helped elect or re-elect 13 of the last 15 Presidents (going back to 1928); Obama and the unelected Ford are the only exceptions. So yeah I think we should care at least a little.

If, as 12 of 16 Atlas voters so far believe, Trump breaks 89.2% here and still loses nationally, that would be unusual.

Unusual, yes, but not unprecedented. Trump could very well do better in most rural areas throughout the country in 2020, win or lose, as the urban-rural divide continues to expand.
