It is a short step from a joke about stereotypes of rural people to stereotypes of rural people being used in political speeches.

3. No the joke is that they are doing just fine after 8 years of NAFTA,
CAFTA, China owning our asses, bankruptcy reform and no healthcare since Hillary's pitiful health care performance, and Democrats kicked out of power for 12 years while we fight a war that Hillary voted for,

Meanwhile, we are still utterly fucked.

So yeah...the Clintons are laughing all the way to the bank!
