Trump has no chance at all of winning a general election.

Democrats are hoping and praying that Trump wins. This is why he gets so much media coverage.

With all the stats mentioned, this is an opinion piece. There is no empirical data backing up the title suggesting Vigo county is going Trump’s way.

Opinion polls are not general elections, and the next general election is almost a year away.

This county went for Reagan and the younger Bush, but returned to its Democrat tradition with Clinton and Obama. Interestingly, it is a non-elitist, predominantly white county outside Greater New England (New England proper, upstate New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the northern one-third of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio) and the West Coast that has not switched sides. Democrat loyalties remain strong here even as old strongholds like Arkansas, Kentucky, and West Virginia turn Republican.

These are Reagan Democrats, and if they switch to the GOP to support Trump, assuming he receives the party's Presidential nomination, the electoral map we have seen for the last two decades is obsolete. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and even New Jersey may be in play.

If you run ahead of your opponent in Vigo, you’re on track to win the country.

The famed Indiana bellwether county is a true American microcosm.
