There is definitely an urban vs rural thing in Wisconsin.

I think it's rather more important than the candiates. If you identify with rural Wisconsin, you're an enemy of people in urban areas.
If you identify with urban areas you are going to lean into being an opponent of people in rural areas.

I get this. Wisconsin is one of the states with the highest proportion of rural landscape out of it's total footprint.

If Dems identified with rural people, most of them would be Dem. But WIDems don't do that.
