Ditto. Show us the specific claims that CA and NY don't matter. Please be specific in who these conservatives are.
Not that many facts actually and these "facts" are irrelevant regarding your claim.
Oh dear God. Wiggle harder.
You could go on any website anywhere with a comments section related to politics and find umpteen conservatives ranting about liberal elites, how CA is a socialist hellhole, how Hillary only won the popular vote because of CA, how these coastal meccas aren't "real America", etc etc etc. You know this is true. The far-right hates these places, but happily takes their money.
As far as Trump, you know he pitched improvements in the coal mining and manufacturing industries in the Midwest/Rust Belt. That's what enabled him to flip 5 states there (and curiously, nearly flip Minnesota)

"I made them this promise. We will put our miners back to work."

THE PRESIDENT: "Well, thank you very much. It's a great honor to have everybody. And some of the great people in the world of business, many of you I know -- many of you I know from reading all of our wonderful magazines and business magazines, in particular. So it's an honor to have you with us today.
Bringing manufacturing back to America, creating high-wage jobs was one of our campaign promises and themes, and it resonated with everybody. It was really something what happened. States that hadn’t been won in many, many years were -- they came over to our fold. A lot of it had to do with the jobs, and other reasons -- but jobs. And I'm delivering on everything that we've said. In fact, people are saying they've never seen so much happen in 30 days of a presidency. We've delivered on a lot."
Oh, and by the way, I didn't provide facts? I fully backed my claim that CA/NY provide almost 1/4 of this country's GDP, and that in terms of federal tax dollars red states drain while blue states pour.
