The youth of America in coming decades, when examining where the preservation of their liberty was yielded up, and by whom, may look to the now-Governor of Ohio as one whose personal judgment on the dangers of a presidency of Clinton, failed them and their posterity.

“Posterity! you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it.” - ― John Adams, Letters of John Adams, Addressed to His Wife"

"For himself (and only for a short time) a man may postpone enlightenment in what he ought to know, but to renounce it for posterity is to injure and trample on the rights of mankind.” - ― Immanuel Kant, (An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?)

when Clinton was ahead in Ohio it’s a bellweather state when Trump is ahead it’s no that important anymore because too many middle class whites....

In 1964 Ohio was a good proxy for the nation. In 2016 it's poorer, less educated and significantly whiter than the nation as a whole.

The main difference is that Ohio has very few Asians and Latinos - a major difference between it and many other states. And probably a big reason why Trump is doing better in Ohio than he is elsewhere.

Speaking of bellwethers, I haven’t heard much about the bellwether counties and cities. Guess they’re all for Trump.

The TLDR:

Since 1944, Ohioans have sided with the losing candidate only once – opting for Nixon over Kennedy in 1960.
