This is the most important article of 2016 IMO and pretty much sums up the race. Maine is not diverse AND it's not as highly educated.
Not to mention Maine is #2 in states with people 65 years or older, with 18.8% of its population over 65 (census 2015)
So that's old, lily white and not highly educated. Perfect for Trump!
And apparently Obama in 2008 and 2012?
uhmm, yes? Clearly it was with Obama's large double-digit wins there. Trump's support from these demographics are more pronounced this cycle, and more attention has been paid to it in often amusing ways, hence why I noticed. If you thought part of my post implied that Obama hadn't had similar support in Maine, well I guess you might have got me.
It's more being annoyed by jumping on Trump's coalition now and using it to paint him in a negative light, while no one would view these exact same voters - literally the same people - that way when they were checking D. Does Trump and pretty much the whole GOP seem to have a lock on racists and "hicks"? Sadly, yes ... but Democrats acted just as snarky when they didn't.
