You mention a good long laundry list of things needed by those left out--or at least feel left out--but you and all the politicians for federal or state and city positions need to give details on what needs to be done for their area and how it needs to be done. Donal stated big ideas but no details. Too many Democrats throughout 2016 didn't bother to visit the red/pink or purple states. I blame Hillary's fall on that action which she just took for granted. Globalization doesn't mean much to small town folk or people without a minimal college education. But tell them it is really just an extension of the Silk Road that started and continued in various places since sometime before 500BC. It's been around forever--it just got bigger and will stay that way. Also don't use Obamacare. The folks of small white town America have never had experiences with blacks and he scared them, even some of those that voted for him. McCain lost out in the first few weeks by not being up to date regarding the recession that was taking place and his partner didn't fit the position in their minds. Talk about ACA. That's what it was called at first anyway. They like that title and they know they need insurance--esp. those that need tax help. The others are too wealthy to gain it and resent that fact--at least some do. Get the Farm Bill back on track. Make sure the towns people know that it isn't only for corn and cows but for assistance that they have needed and received for years and will need it again. Jobs can be supplied it you get with the other Big Boys besides Amazon. Just as Bezos can scatter his workers and warehouses around the country, so can Facebook and Google etc. There is all kinds of space in the Midwest that is being used for nothing and the owners would most likely love the money a buyer would give them since they are too old to continue to farm, anyway. Google seems to have started with a building of some sort in Oklahoma. So why can't this be done in Mississippi, Ohio,Indiana or Nebraska--for starters?? All join in and circle to the Left as the square dance caller calls out. If you're their age, you know that phrase, if not you're too young and haven't square danced on Friday or Saturday nights--Too bad you're so much a "city boy." Learn about the rural!! They are holding the cards for the Democrats if they bother to go out and find them--as Mr D. Jones did. That applies for male and female. And Gentlemen, if the Ladies beat you it's most likely because you didn't work as hard as they did.
