Have you read any of his book? He constantly refers to rural people as dumb idiots who couldn't "get out" of their hometown because they were too lazy. Why he's the Republican candidate, I have no idea.

His whole book is about how successful people move to cities and dumb losers stay in rural areas.

I didn't know about the book, so thanks.

At a glance, its just another, "I made it, so can you" fairy tale written for political cred.

Now with extra condescendion and contempt!

Ugh, I don't plan on reading the book anytime soon so no. But my point is mostly why aren't we making these jokes about all the other GOP assholes; most of them seem to have similarly terrible books.
