The numbers weren't as bad as DuPage County though, Hilderbeast won Orange by 8 points.
Yes, Orange is a good comparison. Hadn’t gone rat since 1936. Fort Bend Texas, Houston Suburbs, hadn’t gone rat since ‘64, carried by Shill. The Atlanta suburbs. Chester County PA, easy pickup for Shillery, Toomey carried it but barely. Contrast Bucks County, which is more blue collar like Will, was very narrow Shill win, carried by Toomney by than a greater margin than he carried Chester. A lot of Higher income White people betrayed their country last November, safe in their bubbles.
The vote is always fixed in Illinois, I’m sure Romney actually carried DuPage. But Obama’s margin in 2008 was too large for him not to actually have carried it.
Kirk didn’t win DuPage or Lake either. He would have if he wasn’t getting eaten alive. These counties are trending rat, but Republcians in competetive races still win them. Munger won them, but her margins were not impressive, less than 5 points in Lake, 11 in DuPage. 3 in Will (which trended GOP in the POTUS race). We need to make some recovery in these White collar burbs. If Trump can do that nationwide and hold his blue collar gains, he’s reelected.
