Geographically, Donald J. Trump won most of the land area of the United States. A country consisting of areas he won retains more than 80 percent of the nation’s counties.
While Trump country is vast, its edges have been eroded by coastal Democrats, and it is riddled with large inland lakes of Clinton voters who were generally concentrated in dense urban areas.
quote:
Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly won the cities, like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City, but Mr. Trump won many of the suburbs, isolating the cities in a sea of Republican voters.
Mrs. Clinton’s island nation has large atolls and small island chains with liberal cores, like college towns, Native American reservations and areas with black and Hispanic majorities. While the land area is small, the residents here voted for Mrs. Clinton in large enough numbers to make her the winner of the overall popular vote.

One party consists of coastal elites and minorities, the other represents the other 85% of the country.

Well, the bad news is I'm in Clinton's America. The good news is it looks like I live a few minutes from the beach now.

I wonder what caused Mississippi Lake.

I thought it was this. Lucky for me that I live right next to a state that that voted for Trump but still gets to be 'Murican.

I can't believe Hillary won Baton Rouge and the surrounding parishes.

Looks like Hillary Clinton was really fighting for all Americans.
I kid, I kid!

So glad I moved from the Selma Sea, AL area 25+ years ago.
The Gulf Coast of AL is a MAGA destination area and a great place to raise a family.
This whole, stamping of the feet, pouting, it's not fair, but but she had more total popular votes, it's not fair, protest and etc. Needs to be put to rest. The current POTUS and Hillary need to come out and denounce the violence, denounce the city disruption caused by the protest, denounce the racist etc. Rhetoric and call upon their supporters to support the POTUS Elect. It's their job to stand firm and stop the nonsense. This PC, can't hurt feelings, participation trophy crap has completely gone insane.

I'm as anti-Clinton as you can be, but I don't get the infatuation everyone has the land area that "voted" for Trump. People vote. Most people live in cities. Trump won because he won over the right people, not the most people. No problem with that whatsoever, but this obsession with the land area is comical.

The weird bragging of winning empty space.

Fine, we'll let conservatives start their own country with the flyover territory. I'm sure it will be really successful without Silicon Valley, wall st and the financial district of NYC, Houston's O&G industry, universities....you know, all of America's competitive advantages.
Even Trump will be living in liberal land. It's so terrible.

I prefer this map which is far more indicative of how undivided we really are:

I wonder what would happen if you overlaid terminal degrees and millionaires on that map?

They should've named Miss. Lake "Landmass Lagoon"
