Perspective: Rural America is supportive of Trump, but it's not monolithic

Rural America has often backed Republicans in presidential elections, but rarely with the enthusiasm they showed for President Donald Trump in 2016. More sparsely populated areas of the country form the heart of Trump Nation and continue to provide majority support for a president who has faced near-constant controversy and discord.

Laughable.

How would n elite like Balz possibly know what goes on in ‘rural’ America.

Living ‘rural’ in the Heartland, I am more than PLEASED to keep the LOSER Socialists on either coast.

Stay there; we don’t need you for anything. You consume everything and produce NOTHING. You are truly Useless Feeders.

I’ll bet the article failed to mention that the country thinks the Democrats suck even worse

...The reality IS....

this from a newspaper(s) that think they need a passport to go to the heart of the USA.

Remember when they wanted to set up “foreign desks” in flyover country?

I sure hope so!
