Democrats, like economic activity, are increasingly concentrated in cities.
In a paper last year, Mark Muro and Sifan Liu at the Brookings Institution found that the fewer than 500 US counties that went for Hillary Clinton in 2016 represent “a massive 64 percent of America’s economic activity as measured by total output in 2015.”
Donald Trump won more than 2,600 counties. Together, they represent just 36 percent of the nation’s economic output.

And that, ladies, explains where the funding for your Medicare and SS payments is generated. Don't forget that fact when you're waxing euphoric over the number of counties Trump won. It's ungrateful.
If we got a 'do over' with the same candidates the health care debacle alone would be enough to tip the election Democratic.
Throw in the FBI investigation of Trump and it would be a Clinton landslide.
