Anybody know that area?
How did Mittens win it by 23 points over obummer and Trump won by 1 over the beast?
We Yankees can’t account for 22 percent in four years. :)
Did they just hate obama that much?
Since then, the Dims have decided it is fair game for cheating?
Trump underpefromed because it is a GOP Establishment district. I use to live there.
The Never Trumpers did succeed in getting traditional GOP voters to not vote for Trump. The GOP candidate for Senate won this district easily. So a lot of GOP voters in this area did vote, just not for Trump.
Saw the same thing happen in FL, NC and other state. GOP strong holds voted solid for the GOP Senator but did NOT vote as strongly for Trump. Never Trump movement DID have an impact on the GOP Establishment voters in Nov 2016
I heard it was redistricted (sic). Maybe Gaffer knows more.
There has been the continued flood of immigrants which could account for that percentage point change but I think it’s more than that. The Democrats were more motivated to vote Against Trump than they were to re-elect Obama (whom they expected to win easily).
The main difference is a very specific type of Republican that like to call themselves Christians very very often and then clutch pearls and disinvite Trump to speaking engagements and such. They HATED Trump, and still do.
I think the answer to that question would mean prison time for someone.
