Post songs here that have to do with RED winning and BLUE losing. Tougher to find red winning songs for sure, but they are out there...

This doesn’t really fit with your theme, but I was thinking of this one earlier today in regards to the election.
Uprising:

Rise up and take the power back
It’s time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time’s coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

99 Red Ballons - Nena
Somehow, this seems appropriate for what freedom is facing:
____________________________________________________________
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Till one by one they were gone
Back at base, sparks in the software
Flash the message “somethings out there”
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety nine red balloons go by
Ninety nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, its red alert
There’s something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
And focusing it on the sky
The ninety nine red balloons go by
Ninety nine decisions treat
Ninety nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we’ve waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The President is on the line
As ninety nine red balloons go by . . .
[Harry Nilsson - Without You 1972 (HD)]

Go no further than Les Deplorables!
I am supposed to be working and can’t figure out how to link to youtube here right now without leaving a mess for day shift, but totally check out Red and Black from Les Miserables.
“Red, the blood of angry men...Black, the dark of ages past...Red, I feel my soul on fire...Black, the night that ends at last.”
There are not many songs out there ABOUT elections themselves (apart from some assorted campaign songs), but there was an obscure rockabilly song by a country singer from Louisiana named Thomas Johnson, who recorded under the name “The Lonesome Drifter”. He recorded a song “Eager Boy” in 1958 about a poor country boy who aspires to be president someday...

The original record is so rare and sought after that a copy sold on eBay for over $5,000 in 2010.
“Red Roses for a Blue Lady”
Red, Red Wine (UB40)
I hate the words and the message, the idea that those in the military are eager fir a flimsy excuse to fight. I love the sound of it. The music is nice, and I have fond memories of the song as background when I was young.
In honor of Mr. Trump and his diligent campaigning, Johnny Cash singing, I’ve Been Everywhere”
