Yes. Your whole post was excellent and correct.
Three are still enclaves of lunchpail towns who aren’t reflexively DEM and when they get fed up enough will vote the other way, though.
My suburban middle-class town narrowly voted for Trump. And there were many others. But - of course - Hillary’s margins in Boston, Worcester, Brockton, Taunton, Fall River, etc swamp all that.
Trump won 2,600 counties in the country, Hillary won 500.....but she won 88 of the largest 100 counties....had she lost these, she would have lost by 11.5 million votes......thank you electoral college!!!!!!
