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.

This isn't your usual race and no....it is NOT "HILLARY'S TO LOSE" at all.

Trump has at least 25% of the black vote and also many of the disaffected usual DEM votes. :-)

Strange article:

1. Apparently this county has been on the winning side of each presidential election but 2 since 1888.

2. The presidential election is 11 months away, so what is the track record of their opinion 11 month out? I suspect no one knows.

3. We do not even have the nominees yet. What is their track record at picking nominees?

All in all another not very informative.

I think that’s a reasonable prediction. However, anyone could come to that conclusion without consideration of the irrelevant information in this article.

I already did that with the McCain/Palin ticket. See how wonderful that worked out... No friggin way. Trump is taking you all for a ride. He will not do anything bold like you think. He is a Left/Mod person and will say anything to get Nominated. He will never get my vote. Cruz and Cruz only. If not Im old Ill let you young stupid people burn it to the ground.

Enjoy your delusions while you can. In two months, your delusion becomes just another failed prediction.
