2016 Postmortem

I happen to be pro-gun but these folks don't bring it up much. I infer that they already own what they want/need and aren't tremendously concerned.

They are a bit involved with jobs and have concerns about their children moving away. Kids go to college and then can't find a job within 50 miles of home.

Some out there live near a town. My boss lives just outside of Johnstown. They have a houses on a half to an acre of ground. Others have very large very rural properties.

Folks in cities are less likely to own a gun.
Those in cities generally have a choice of colleges.
Anyone near a big city that has a house on more than half an acre is probably a 1%er.

Finding common ground between city voters, who are mostly Dem and rural folks is tough.
