You seem to be on this board a lot ... they are just putting their time to a different purpose.
For such an important job like POTUS, Trump sure does have a lot of time to tweet doesn't he? [winking]
Another Clinton-Trump divide: High-output America vs low-output America
The less-than-500 counties that Hillary Clinton carried nationwide encompassed a massive 64 percent of America’s economic activity as measured by total output in 2015. By contrast, the more-than-2,600 counties that Donald Trump won generated just 36 percent of the country’s output—just a little more than one-third of the nation’s economic activity.
Candidates’ counties won and share of GDP in 2000 and 2016
Year Candidates # of Counties won Aggregate share of GDP
2000 Al Gore 659 54%
George W. Bush 2397 46%
2016 Hillary Clinton 472 64%
Donald Trump 2584 36%

To see how this could be, take a look at this quick visualization, which suggests what’s going on:
Here you can see very clearly that with the exceptions of the Phoenix and Fort Worth areas and a big chunk of Long Island Clinton won every large-sized county economy in the country. Her base of 493 counties was heavily metropolitan. By contrast, Trumpland consists of hundreds and hundreds of tiny low-output locations that comprise the non-metropolitan hinterland of America, along with some suburban and exurban metro counties, as Indeed Chief Economist Jed Kolko pointed out in a tweet.
Moreover, while this divide is striking by any standard, it appears to be “unprecedented in the era of modern economic statistics,” as Tankersley noted in his story, for a losing presidential candidate to have represented so large a share of nation’s economic base. By comparison, Democratic Presidential candidate Al Gore in 2000 won counties that generated only about 54 percent of the country’s gross domestic product en route to winning the popular vote, while losing the election in the Electoral College. Gore, won more than 100 more counties in 2000 than Clinton did in 2016, meaning that his appeal, while less monolithic across high-output counties, extended into more lower-output areas.

Yeah, in response to the ***** Grabber in chief!, it says something about ya that you condone the reason for the protests more than the protests, the GOP ain't making laws about our penises! liberals like smart women.
Hahahha, my wife has an MBA and my best friends' wife has her Masters in Program Management. Neither of them agreed with the protests in Jan and think today's display is horseshit. Both are extremely successful and leaders in their companies and yet are married to alpha males as well. I can't speak for him, he might like a gag ball and gimp suit for all I know, but I'm aggressive as hell sexually and my wife loves it.
Next straw man full of ignorance?
