Right now we are allowing rural America to decide our president, not just giving them a voice.

I mean. If Hillary had visited Wisconsin and Michigan, and had at least ONE economic message for the Rust Belt, then she wins comfortably. I think this is a hyperbolic view of what happens. The rural vote has NEVER been this homogeneous. The Democrats literally abandoned the middle of the country and took the one slice they had of it completely for granted. They have the coasts and with just ONE slice of middle America, something Obama did twice quite comfortably might I add... they win. And I for one am absolutely thrilled that our system was able to show the Democrats that they couldn't get away ostracizing everything that's not in LA or Brooklyn... because I absolutely believed they thought they could. They were in such a bubble and felt the rest of America so irrelevant, they were dumbfounded. Good. I'm glad the Electoral College prevents that mindset from prevailing.
