Do you want one section with it's particular interests, making the rules for everyone else ..

Like Texas having long set the national standards for textbooks, you mean?

As you know, if we eliminate California the numbers don't represent a majority.

And if we eliminate Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania, Hillary would have won the EC.

This is a dumb argument.

I doubt that stats would back up your claim at all. In fact, urban areas are far more diverse than rural areas in terms of thought, religion, politics etc. So yeah, I think your claim that your minority vote, spread over more acres, somehow represents the "broad sector" of the USA more so than the urban areas is complete BS.
