[Rural voters] have a different view of the world than people do in these urban centers.

The New York Federal Reserve is a tool of the big banks.

[Trade] was clearly a factor.That was a complete reversal of where things are normally at. Usually Republicans are all for free trade.

Pushing gun control drives people [in my district] crazy, gay marriage, abortion, deficit spending.All of that stuff adds up to be a problem for Democrats.

What's happened is the Republicans have been smart.
