Link only due to site not working for me: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/08/trump-still-has-high-approval-among-rural-base-in-farm-states-poll.html

Hopefully you'll have an easier time with it. I can't even scroll down to see who the author was or read the article, but based on the headline it looked interesting. Let me know.

*************

Headline is misleading. A trade war is isn’t exactly raging at this time. Just a lot of adjustments and posturing going on so far. Its far from a raging war.

I saw an article that said that Morning Joe said that the gop is becoming a “rural” party. I’m guessing that “rural” is now the dem code word for white. Now that the racist NYT has come out full-force as a rabidly anti-white paper, the dems are afraid that to be so closely identified as the anti-white party may hurt them, they are now using the word “rural” as a replacement, or as they would say, a dog whistle.

If Trump only had voters in “rural” America he would’ve never won the presidency. He has urban, suburban, exurban and rural voters of all colors. They must be sweating bullets to see his numbers going up with blacks, Hispanics and Asians. Do you think making peace in Korea isn’t influencing Asian-Americans?

China is now forced to buy US soybeans because of crop problems worldwide. I don't know if Soybean prices have started to rise or not, yet.

China tried to NOT buy US Soybeans.

There is also an article today about OIL PRICES headed lower because of Chinese action to not buy US crude.

The establishment does not like Trump getting hard on China. So they are desperately wanting the rural base to abandon Trump - all wishful desperate thinking on their part.

Very true and the media once again is over simplifying. When people say the “cities” are liberal, it means the “cities” not the greater suburban areas - which tend to lean more conservative. I think even Orange County, could be wrong, is relatively republican.
