Set this vision in motion for 2020! And unlike Nixon, for President Trump to carry out his entire second term in full confidence and good faith.

Never seen that published in red before. The media really did a job on us, sticking us with that color. Then they ran Nixon out for winning.

I am from MA. I can safely say that if Josef Stalin was on the Democrat ticket, the result would not be better.

Wow! Pennsylvania had a larger population than Texas in 1972.

The only thing I recall from that election (just a kid) is Archie Bunker and Meathead arguing about McGovern.

Wrong colors. That looks like a Stalinist sweep for McGovern.

Here are the RIGHT colors for 1972 (Blue-GOP/Red-Communist Demonrat), courtesy of Dave Leip.

Clip on youtube from either the 80 or
84 election—NBC News election coverage with Brokaw.Using the old
colors, it was a romp for Reagan:
“It is like a big swimming pool,
an ocean of blue...” And that was
evident early on.

MA loves their socialism. That’s why I moved out.

In 84 Reagan even won MA.
As for back in 72, I was 10 then
here in MA and I remember the
bumper stickers from after then:

Nixon 49 America 1

Massachusetts: The One And Only

Don’t Blame Me, I’m From Massachusetts

The colors were correct up until Election Day 2000 when the media decided to disassociate the color of totalitarian Communism with the Demonrats and attach it to the GOP. No other country on the planet has “red” associated with the Conservative party (or “blue” with the left-wing). It’s absurd, offensive, and historically, morally and ethically wrong. That anyone on our side swallowed this disgusting and wrong mislabeling takes the cake. I will never use this Orwellian media newspeak slanderous color switcheroo cognitive dissonance.

Unlike Nixon, Trump has created a bond between him and his supporters.

Also, we're onto the leftists trying to remove our President.

Nixon thought about picking then-MA Gov. John Volpe, a left-wing Republican, as his running mate in 1968 (he wanted an ethnic on the ticket). Obviously, had he picked him, MA still would not have voted for him. Curiously, in picking the Greek ethnic Gov. Agnew from Maryland, he didn’t help him there, either, as Humphrey still carried the state that year. It wouldn’t have mattered who Nixon ran with in ‘72, since as soon as the Dems picked McGovern, it was all over.

It’s laughable or pitiable for anyone to be naive enough to think CA or NY or even NJ will go Trump.
