"At least they're trying" is what you say about the local kid's baseball team, or Trump's white house, not a party that wants to rule an entire country.
They are trying the wrong things. They are trying badly. Stupidly. They are trying wrong stupid bad things that are, as you put it, "unlikely to work". They won't and they will fail and America will get Trump for another 4 years. They need to do better and stop piddling around with these incredibly cynical ploys to win over people they clearly don't respect.
Oh and, no, this wasn't aimed at urban-centric communities. It's blatantly obvious that this was aimed at rural communities and what they seem to think they care about (beer and patriotism, in that order). Yes, aim at urban issues, but if you are going to win over the rural communities, honest and straightforward talking about their ACTUAL wants, their ACTUAL plans, with NO pandering nonsense, is what they need. It is literally the only possible option now!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
