I don't agree with him labeling Wisconsin as a Rust Belt state, but otherwise I think his point is right. The GM plant here shut down a few years ago, and we couldn't recall an anti-union college dropout governor.

    Unfortunately, you are living in a bubble that comes with an adjoining echo chamber where you and your friends are convinced the American people are not going to elect an idiot for president.

This is what has been bugging me for a while. A friend of mine is a dedicated Clinton supporter. A couple weeks ago she posted something like "80% of people with advanced degrees support Clinton over Trump." It may have been even higher. I'm sure it's a very comforting statistic. The smartest people support my candidate, so surely the less educated people will follow us. But they won't.
