” Staten Island, one of the 5 NYC boroughs, voted for Trump. The “right” half of Long Island voted for Trump. Most NY counties north of NYC voted for Trump. And I’m sure there are similar scenarios in CA.”
Not the same scenario her in the Peoples Republic of Californis. The witch won all the coastal and metropolitan counties. Trump won only the small, inland farm counties. In fact Trump did so bad here, he lost Republican Orange County by 8%. No Democrat candidate in history had ever won Orange County. Trump also lost in tradionally Republican Ventura, San Diego, Fresno, Riverside and San Luis Obispo Counties.
NY will go red long before California will go red again. Even the white folks here are whacked out commies. It’s not my parents California....it’s not even the California of my youth.
So sad considering CA was once Reagan territory.
Trump may have had pockets of strength in New York state, but he lost the total state vote by 23%, a landslide by any measure.
He lost California by 30%.
In 2012, Romney got almost 400,000 more votes in California than Trump got.
In Wisconsin, Trump won the state, but Trump got less votes than Romney got, and Romney lost Wisconsin by 7%.
The Democrats, and Hillary Clinton, are not weak.
They simply failed to turn out their voters in three key states, probably because of poll driven over confidence.
In Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, the Green Party got enough votes in each of those states to give Hillary a majority - and the White House.
