Bellwether county has called it already - it's Trump (and they've only been wrong TWICE since 1888)

It spans only 403 square miles and boasts no skyscrapers to speak of, but one rural Indiana county appears to be supporting Republican billionaire Donald Trump for president - with potentially nationwide implications.

Vigo County, Indiana, located on the western edge of the state and home to 108,000 Hoosiers including 40,000 active voters, was spotlighted Friday in a cover story of the Washington-based political magazine Politico.

Why? Because the county has been an accurate bellwether of every U.S. presidential election since 1888, with only two exceptions.

And this year, the county with the nickname 'the crossroads of America' seems to be in a Donald Trump frame of mind.

Trump/Cruz, the populist and the full spectrum conservative — I could support that ticket.

I believe Trump is going to pick Bruce Jenner as VP.

Given that this county went Democrat in 2012, it sounds more like a suggestion of an eventual Hillary Clinton victory.

Bruce has left the house; he's not available.

Not a “fix” at all; only yet more drivel from your benighted mind.

Have they actually voted yet? So once again this means nothing. Really all these election prediction are stupid. There’s one poll that matters, THE VOTE. Everything else is public masturbation.

I hate to say it, but I dont see Trump, or any Republican, getting 40 states. The election is Hillary’s too lose. The Democrats own by huge margins all the urban population centers which puts all the big states (except Texas) in the Democrats collumn. With the Democrats firmley in control of Colorado and Virginia now, it’s going to be nearly impossible for any Republican to win.

If Trumps wins, or any other Republican wins, it will be by very similar results of Bush’s wins in 2000 and 2004.
