In the case of a woman like this, I'm concerned about her mental health. In parts of the country that are economically depressed, like Appalachia, I'm concerned about how we're going to turn those parts of the country around. Just like I'm concerned about urban areas that economically depressed.

The thing is, as others have said, is the poor whites are voting against their own self interest. Republicans have gotten their support by appealing to their racism and homophobia.
