It's tough for people in rural areas now, I know, that's why they need welfare more than the cities..  The concentrations of people with college education are in the cities, and they generally voted for Clinton. 

You may be right and Trump voters blame our woes on liberal policies.  Where we disagree is whether or not they are correct.
