WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is in the final stretch of a 44-city blitz for the midterm elections, but the America he’s glimpsed from the airport arrivals and his armored limousine is hardly a reflection of the nation as a whole.
The president has mostly traveled to counties that are whiter, less educated and have lower incomes than the rest of the United States, according to Census Bureau data. It’s a sign that he is seeking to galvanize the same group of voters that helped carry him to victory in 2016.
Trump has largely eschewed the big metropolises for smaller cities. He has been to Tampa, Nashville, Cleveland and Houston — where the arenas could accommodate his crowds. But he’s primarily been jet-setting to smaller places such as Elko, Nevada (population 20,078). Or, Mosinee, Wisconsin (population 4,023). Or, Belgrade, Montana (population 7,874).

Trump has largely eschewed the big metropolises that are a lost cause for decent Americans. He’s trying to get more votes, so that real Americans will win the election, not trying to create a far-left “diversity” poster representing his travels.
Basically - bitter clingers and deplorables...
So much hate in such a tiny man.
Liberals sneer at flyover country. Haven’t they always?
Like its a bad thing for the President to travel there and hold rallies.
Trump stumps in cities that don’t look that much like US AP.
Josh thinks college is an education. He also thinks anyone not being paid to sit in a sterile office and play Ping-Pong all daya nd write liberal crap is “less educated and have lower incomes”.
Josh Boak is also a racist since he also hates blacks because they, too, live in place where the people are “less educated and have lower incomes”.
Call us some more names, Josh. That’ll make us all vote Dem.
What an ***hole.

What precious, pure, unadorned, elitist, arrogant Bravo Sierra.
Amazing.
He went to Houston and had a ginormous, Texas sized crowd at what is said to be “the most diverse city in America”
East/west coast liberals do not know what america looks like.

Trump doesn’t campaign on Broadway and in Hollywood.
Like that’s a bad thing.
Ass. Press.
It is good form to put a [barf] tag on headlines like that so fellow freezers can prepare for the contents. Not that I would click on an AP byline.....just saying
hanger rallies - much better use of time, security easier to manage
Idiot. Elko, Nevada, where I had the rare pleasure of seeing President Trump two weekends ago, is the gold-producing capital of the United States. Presidents and Presidential candidates since Ronald Reagan have been holding rallies here.
Journalism at its worst...
Translation: Trump shies away from the 20 top progressive ruled Democratic urban sh!tholes and prefers real Americans.
