It's a good point Sommer. And it's partially why I'm a bit confused when people say "rurals" decided the election. Maybe they did, but many(most?) of those Trump states have cities in them, and the population of those cities is urban, not rural. Those cities tip many(most?) of those states when they show up with some semblance of vigor. My township, red as red can be, does not counterbalance Rockford. It takes a lot of farms, villages, and towns to add up to a Madison or Milwaukee. Clinton lost her election in the Peorias, Madisons, Clevelands, Milwaukees, Des Moines, and Detroits of the country, urban areas all: even if they turned in wins for her within their counties. The urban of the middle of the country could not be assed to save The Blue. Which even if it doesn't make sense shouldn't be surprising. The Blue hasn't assed to try and save them for going on 25 years now. If anything, they've been hostile.
