Michigan gave Obama 8 years things just got worse for them. Seems pretty simple to me.
Because he did what Sarah wanted McLame to do (but refused); go there and fight for it.
How?
Calhoun County, Saginaw County, Genessee County
how did Michigan go RED?
simple.
the unions want their jobs back
I think the Rust Belt strategy was genius. This is where the Democrats were most vulnerable as they had abandoned the working class in that area and took it for granted that the union bosses would keep their rank and file in line.
For months, we've had to endure the concern trolls on Free Republic, telling us that PA, MI and WI were "fool's gold" and that Trump was wasting his money and resources there.
Just last weekend, when Trump cancelled a WI rally at the last minute (in favor of MN), those concern trolls breathlessly told us that this meant that WI was lost and that Trump was foolish to be there in the first place. Turns out that WI was won and Trump was looking to expand the battleground to MN - which he came pretty close to winning as well.
Looks like Trump was right all along to contest the Rust Belt. It is the reason he is President Elect this morning.
Blue collar people have seen the light about their union’s empty promises AND half the voters in Detroit stayed home.
Reducing Muslim immigration/refugees was important to some of my Michigan relatives. They have seen Dearbornistan - a dark vision of the future under Hillary.
He won Michigan by staying true to his message and “wasting time and money” by campaigning there even though there was no way he could win it....
Michigan’s 16 electoral votes takes President Trump well above 300 placing him in LANDSLIDE TERRITORY!!!

Absolutely correct! I posted this fact elsewhere but basically I’m restating that if the “Establishment” Republicans had supported their nominee like they did McLame and Mittens, Trump would have had at least 70 Million votes and at the end the popular vote would have been 50.5 Trump 47.5 Clinton! No doubt! The fact all the lame Rhinos (Bushes, McLame, Kaisch, Lindsley, etc) ALL announced that they were voting for someone else ON Election Day depressed the 3% Rhinos that either didn’t bother, didn’t cast a vote for Trump, wrote someone else in, or even betrayed the party and voted for Her! That’s going to be the TRUE story of this election! Thank God Trump over came ALL that and still managed to Win!!
Michigan used to be “owned” by the UAW. It’s a different state now. As the car companies declined, the union’s hold on the state was reduced and the upset about job loss rose.
So what happened?
Hamatrak?
The fraud watch was successful and prevented the usual from happening.
