Most people don’t realize that Mitt Romney got more votes in Wisconsin than Trump got - and Mitt lost the state.

I think some blacks in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania voted for Trump simply by staying home.

That’s the way they wanted to do it.... and that’s just fine by me.

That illustrates the problem when your facing a candidate that is a great activator, that generates turnout like Obama did.

In Wisconsin in the fall the good news is that Walker is on the ballot, and in a different manner he generates GOP turnout. How that will play for the GOP candidate running against the awful Tammy Baldwin, I dunno. I am hoping she is retired.

you post that as if Romney got thousands more when he got 2K more than DJT which is within the recount margin, which means it’s meaningless and not worth mentioning.

Trump got 47% of the vote and Romney 45%.

Trump had to deal with 3.58% of the vote going for the libertarian with 100K votes. In 2012 the closest candidate to Obama and Romney only got 20K votes.
