1896, except this time WJB won.
Are we seriously saying that Hillary Clinton was as conservative as McKinley or that Trump was anywhere near as liberal as WJB?! Jesus, not everything is an urban/rural divide, haha.
Trump won by bringing labor interests into his coalition, focusing on a divisive policy that favored economic elites (for Trump, global free trade, for WJB, the gold standard). Trump didn't win because of the urban/rural divide. Trump won by gaining in small, northern urban pockets like the Fox Valley, WI; Saginaw, MI; Dayton, OH; Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, PA. Also in industrial suburbs like Warren, MI and Lorain County, OH (Kerry won this Trump county by over 12 points!) .
