More outreach to rural areas of purple states (particulary where there are rural Dems residing) makes sense, as Obama said: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/15/did-president-obama-just-dis-hillary-clintons-campaign/?utm_term=.0c04de898d04.

But the "working class whites" narrative promoted by some on DU is ridiculously flawed: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512632931.

And there is no excuse for supporting Trump: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512630903.
