I know this is not uncommon in the union, but I was struck by the disparity. SoFloFreeper's note:
Look at this razor thin margin. Hitlery wins so few areas, rife with welfare and people dependent on government...Trump wins areas where there are fewer of these.

Liberal parasites infest the big cities.
Blue areas = Union, black, and/or college towns.

A job for Trump Pest Control. No job too big or small! Dream Big!
The blue counties seem more susceptible to fraud, at least, Detroit per some posters here. I was just looking at a map of Michigan. I wonder what those blue areas are up in the Upper Peninsula?

Precisely. You see the MSM sneer and condescend to the “poor, uneducated whites” who voted for Trump. But they never mention all the poor, even less well educated, minorities that the Dems absolutely depend on for support. Also, the stats show that Trump also does well with white college grads. In fact (surprise) the MSM is bemoaning that somehow Trump did well with college educated White suburban women in swing states.
Oh the humanity!
How do you get folks to depend on themselves instead of the gov? That’s what they’re sold on as far as I know.
Tell them to add some Booker T. to their W.E.
They should focus on writings of the kind of Booker T. Washington as opposed to the W.E. DuBois types more commonly seen today.
Clinton had union support but it does not appear to be as pronounced as it was for Obama.
Last time, I know I’d see bumper stickers like “Union whatever for Obama Biden”. Electric workers; I think is what one man near us is.
Half of union members voted for Trump. They are part of the coalition and are welcome.
College town.
You have to look at the population of the blue areas vs red. Wayne County also has a lot of WWI vets that vote if you get my drift.
We need election and voter ID reform. Trump needs to push this from the federal level and we need standard ID and requirements. I’m not a big proponent of any more privacy violations but the illegals are out of control as is voter fraud and if we want to get this thing back under control there needs to be serious reform.
ending voter fraud will really help these areas
These areas are very common Blue zones.
Muskegon county, the one blue next to lake Michigan, has a heavy black area called Muskegon Heights, and that tosses the relatively sparsely populated county off.
SE Michigan is of course Detroit, and Flint, but also is where U of M is located.
The UP has that one hold out county that is from the old days of Robert Lafollette and the “Progressive” party of the 20s.
We do need to work Kalamazoo and Muskegon Co. A bit more
Yup. Looking at that map I suspect you are right.
The only blue county in the U.P. is where Marquette is located, home of Northern Michigan University. The kiddies surely outnumber the locals there.
Ann Arbor and East Lansing are lit up blue. As are Flint, Detroit and K’zoo.
Only one that puzzles me is Oakland County, home to some of America’s wealthiest suburbs. Self-loathing idiots!
Why is Marquette county so liberal? Any clue?
I have friends and family from Michigan but not the UP.
And raising the voting age to 21 would be correct too.
Wonder how Trump did with blacks overall.
We could stop the influence of these leech districts by changing the “Winner-Take-All” electoral college. States could change their EVs to reflect the majority’s vote in the individual districts they represent, couldn’t they?
