Love how the trumpetts only use polls that they think will help them (and they don't)

I don't think that poll is meant to help, it's just a snapshot that I thought was interesting in the layout of the country. There's an old term - flyover country, and that really describes the split in the country real well.

Trump reportedly tries to call world leaders at odd hours and has to be reminded of different time zones on a 'constant basis' (https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-reminded-of-different-time-zones-calling-world-leaders-2018-8)

The division of the country between red/blue is really demonstrated when the 2016 election results are broken down by county. Essentially, rural America voted for Trump and urban America voted Clinton (an oversimplification, but not by too much).

Other interesting facts about how geography and demographics play a part in the election:
- Right now, eight states have half the US population.
- If you remove California from the results, Trump won the popular vote.
- If you remove California & New York from the results, Trump won the popular vote by about 4 million voters.

Obviously you can't simply not count certain states but it does demonstrate the concentration of liberal voters in certain areas and vice versa for conservatives.

Just interesting to me, not suggesting anything in particular by it except that there is a real communication break down between urban and rural voters in the US.

White House: It’s in ‘Public Interest’ for Staff to Skirt Ethics Rules to Meet With Fox News

It is “in the public interest” for a the White House's top communicator to be excused from federal ethics laws so he can meet with Fox News, according to President Donald Trump’s top lawyer. Bill Shine, Trump’s newly minted communications director, and Larry Kudlow, the White House’s top economist, who worked at CNBC before his White House post, have both been excused from provisions of the law, which seeks to prevent administration officials from advancing the financial interests of relatives or former employers. “The Administration has an interest in you interacting with Covered Organizations such as Fox News,” wrote White House counsel Don McGahn in a July 13 memo granting an ethics waivers to Shine, a former Fox executive. ..

It would be poetic justice if it is Omerosa that brings down trump.


Is trump a racist?
