Tractor monkeys can KMA.

I'm not sure which is more pronounced, your bigotry or your ignorance. So let me make it simple for you. The number you should concentrate on is not 1%, it's 35%. That is the percentage of electoral votes for the top 10 agricultural states that make up 270. So if Trump loses 10 or 15 or 20 electoral votes because a state's farm economy has gone into the dumpster because of his trade war then where does he make the difference up?

99% of people in those states are not involved in growing. Farmers have way to much political power for the size of the workforce/population and they are ALWAYS on the wrong side of every GD trade dispute.

Why does one political party always kowtow to a tiny sliver of the electorate?
