I wonder how many of the GOP voters decided they just didn't want HRC, and thus voted for Bernie. It's interesting that he not only won very liberal counties, such as Washtenaw, but he swept the most rural and conservative counties. Either that, or rural Dems prefer the Bern.
I don't think thtis would be much of a surprise really. Especially now, after he swept Nebraska and Kansas. His policies definitely cater towards the lower class, but he's had issues connecting with minorities. So, to me, it makes sense that rural voters, being generally of lower income levels than urban voters, would go for Sanders over Clinton.rural Dems prefer the Bern.
