the populous coastal areas overwhelmingly voted for Clinton. This is just more divisive attacks on Democrats with its origins straight out of Limbaugh land. Who does he think he is insinuating there are no working class people living in cities. I know union people here all over the place.

And you're right about his own privileged lifestyle. He bought a $600,000 house on a Senator's salary. Try buying a $600,000 house on a working class salary (that's about what an average house is here). He would shut up fast about calling those folks "elite". How outrageous and out of touch can you get.
