Well, of course. I think it’s a bit odd they’re characterizing it that way. Rural/Urban is not a delineation I would have thought of in terms of support for his politics.
I often feel what’s unsaid is also as important as what’s said - in this case I take it to be an implication that urban folks aren’t as interested in his brand of progressivism. My comment about city friends was to contradict McConnell’s statement, rather than to reinforce any notion of division based on geography.
