Meh.
They like Trump primarily because they hate you and your candidate and party OPENLY run against them as if they're evil.
Then, some guy came along as basically stopped apologizing to you cultural fascists and middle American went, "FINALLY!"

The average American lives in a multicultural city and hasn't been to the corn fields of flyover country.
You're confusing an MSA with a metro center. Lots of Missourians live in Jefferson and St. Charles county which is part of the St. Louis MSA. Jefferson and St Charles counties are not "multicultural cities." Nothing really outside the city limits of St. Louis is super "multicultural." But you don't know that because you're a stupid shitbag.

The reality is, a reincarnated 1992 Bill Clinton would've won 45 states against Trump.
But, alas.........the Democratic part left that shite behind ages ago.
Hell. If 1992 Bill ran tomorrow, he might as well the put on horns and a tail to Democrats today.

Absolutely. Once you get over the Appalachians, you're in the Midwest. Pittsburgh has a lot more in common culturally with, say Cleveland or Cincinnati than it does with Philadelphia.

I really didnt find any assholes in omaha. Most of my friends are from the MW (or colorado) and they are all awesome friendly people.
People just randomly invited me to stay in their house. WTF is that?

When it comes to politics and culture, I agree.

Yes and no. I have family from Pittsburgh. And have spent a fair amount of time there. It was fairly cosmopolitan, at least compared to cleveland or Cincinnati. Granted it wasn't anything like philly, which to me is a cesspool of humanity.

I have a friend that does that! He invited me to stay with his family on my multi state road trip. It was like his great aunt or something like that.

After a year of this nonsense, they still don't get it.
I know sometimes there's a learning curve, but goddamn. Their egos are far more inflated than I thought.

They're still trying to recover from the election embarrassment.

Speaking of the Huffington Post, it predicted a comfy Clinton win in the electoral college. “Our final forecast is that she’ll win 323 electoral votes, far more than the 270 she needs to win. According to our model, she’ll win Florida, North Carolina and New Hampshire, and that’ll be that. Early night,” wrote Huffington Post Washington Bureau Chief Ryan Grim in a mass email that was proved wrong within about five hours
