5. Rural people are no different than a lot of Hillary supporters.

They don't experience what is going on in the inner cities, so they dismiss it. They believe the urban myths of the poor riding around in expensive cars with expensive clothes, buying all this stuff with their Welfare checks and food stamps. They are all dope fiends who sell drugs and who have tons of kids so the checks keep flowing in from the government.

Because both groups are isolated from the inner cities, they have no idea what it's like. Unfortunately, the inner cities are low information when it comes to voting. It's not because they are stupid, it's because they don't have the time to do an in depth study of the candidates. What comes on their 11 o'clock news is what they normally find as news, except for the things that they over hear while doing their jobs. People tend to forget that not all people have the luxury of the Internet, whether it is the time or the cost.
