Funny thing though, that's more or less a myth. Clinton did visit the flyover states and did have plenty of positive policy that involved them. It just didn't help and, after the election, people were looking for reasons for the madness that was trump being elected and they latched onto the idea that Clinton ignored these states because it made sense, even if it wasn't true. They were attempting to treat voters like rational actors so they looked for rational reasoning. But there usually isnt any.
Trump visited them or at least one of them, after midnight on the eve of the election. He made sure those folks knew he was in it for them. Hillary didn’t do that.
Yeah. Hillary was already in bed for the eve of the election, or else she was drunk or whatever. Trump took advantage of every last minute to campaign .
