And as a traditional Republican county there's no legacy DEM machine in Floyd county to speak of. Combined with the other stuff is why it usually votes for the insurgent candidate in primaries.

Anyway, Trump won Newton, MA, well known to be populated entirely by uneducated rubes... oh wait...

I'm not suggesting that it says anything about how Newton would vote in a General Election (overwhelmingly Democratic obviously) or even that the sort of person who votes in the R primary in Newton, MA is in any respect a typical resident of said dormitory suburb (i.e. they're about as typical as the Shenandoah Valley residents who voted for Sanders). Just that it is a useful illustration of the fact that Trump's support runs deeper into certain parts of the Republican electorate than maybe the more smugly complacent posters here are willing to face up to.
