But I heard they are only going to counties that illary won. What’s to be learned by that?-)

The question is...will these people get off their high horses and actually try and learn about so-called flyover country, or are they on a lecture tour?

YES!!!

From what I heard, they are only going to liberal cities where Hillary won. What are they going to learn from that?

Hillary’s “Listening Tour” didn’t changer her skewered view one bit.

I doubt the HuPo ‘journalists’ on the expedition will have any more ‘open mind’ than what we think they will do - cherry picking on those ‘yukkie’ red-blooded Americans to make fun of, hence reinforce their own sense of superiority.

Otherwise, they will find kindred spirits in Austin, TX, or Madison, WI.

The result of the trip will be that the coastal journalists even more entrenched in their ideology.

“But Polgreen says they’re not visiting “Trump country,”

Well then, the odds of them learning anything are Zero, zero percent that they will actually learn a damn thing...other than no one really gives a damn about your skinny vanilla frap a latte chino...Most of the people they would have met drink their coffee black and very early in the morning.

BTW, you can get a few good laughs from this -

Advance team of journalists left literally shaking after scouting run for #HuffPoInTheHeartland tour

These people will not be able to see the truth. They are so biased and paid off they will spin things to fit their handlers wishes for propaganda to reinforce their anti Trump agenda.

Not a safari, more like a mission trip to encourage the faithful that remain behind the red lines.

Yep.

I was downtown sitting outside having some lunch when this safari wagon full of Liberals showed up.

They started taking pictures and their tour guide says,

“Here we see Conservatives in their natural habitat. Look at their bad table manners!”

So I looked at my wife and said,

“You know all about proper etiquette. Which fork do I use to stick up his ass?”

They drove off in a hurry.

High horse LOL..... Reminds me when Obama told us to get off our high horse because of violence done in the name of Christ during the Crusades. See liberals are all about getting off the high horse........

Maybe they’ll take a National Geographic crew, like they’re going to some f’n uncivilized 3rd world country.

If they DO-I hope they cover the US fly over ‘natives’’ as*&s with at LEAST as much of their fawning kisses and unconditional deference they dole out for people in third world countries, where National Geographic religiously whitewashes the fact that THOSE natives (here in the 21st century) STILL engage in tribal violence and sustain themselves with grubs that live in dead tree trunks.

They don’t want to understand us. It would keep them from feeling superior in every way.

Based on the itinerary published by HuffPost, I describe the tour as “visiting blueberry spots in a sea of strawberry red.” A phrase I may have seen on either Breitbart or Gateway Pundit’s Disqus comment system first.

I for one will scoff. I just saw the tour’s itinerary, and they’re not coming to Kentucky. Not even to our liberal strongholds, Louisville and Lexington, or to Berea, the environmentalist paradise down the road. If the Huffo was serious about learning how we think, the reporters would visit the state that voted for Trump first, last November.

Of course I’m not surprised. Barack Obama has only come to Kentucky twice since 2008, and both visits were stops in one place that only lasted 2-3 hours before he flew out again. Hardly enough to get a good look at the state.

Oxford, Mississippi is a college town full of liberals. Other than ghetto towns like Jackson, Oxford is probably the most liberal town in Mississippi. In any case, Oxford is hardly an impartial representative sample of “middle America”.

My guess is the Huff Post knew someone who offered his couch for the night. Unfortunately, Motel 6 is not in the Huff Post budget.
