Clinton or Trump? Here's how every neighborhood in O.C. voted (Orange County, California)

Orange County Register ^ | November 12, 2016 | Ian Wheeler, Lily Leung and Jeff Goertzen

Donald Trump managed to flip some traditionally blue counties in other states but lost in Orange County, a historically conservative stronghold that’s turning bluer.

Hillary Clinton snagged 401,577 votes countywide (49 percent), compared to Trump’s 361,121 (44 percent), according to results posted Friday morning. Third-party candidates Gary Johnson, Jill Stein and Gloria Estela combined got 43,293 votes (4 percent).

Roughly a third of Orange County ballots remain uncounted, and final results likely are weeks away ...

Red State Brothers we need your help in California.
Our rouge legislators and the chief executive Moon-Beam Jr. has said he will defy the Trump Administration immigration plans to remove illegal immigrants and defund City’s who continue to host sanctuary for illegal immigrants.
We who do not support Governor Moonbeam are now being held hostage by the rouge regime. We can see a way to escape but we would need help.
California Taxpayers can file federal action against the lawless Governor, Legislators, unions, courts, activist judges and associations, who have taken over our great state. The rigged systems and illegal policies can be fixed if we stand up and take back our state.
Taxpayers are being held hostage and exploited by the State.
Us courts should agree that the taxes sent to DC should include protection from these rouge actors.
We need to bring a suit to remove any executive’s who defy the US laws and demand Taxpayers be protected against the lawlessness.
The lawless left in our state and the other BLUE states have no one to help them with their continued illegal acts.
The left has Zero Power to help activist like Governor Moon-Beam.
Brothers the left is now diminished and has zero hopes to regain power again.
The Trump administration will fill the Supreme Court and district courts in blue states including the 9th circuit and the left will effectively die out.
Please help us get free from our captures so we can join the RED state.
We need legal action now!

I lived in OC for a few years(of course during those years it was still a Reagan, Dornan county/state...before the demonrat sponsored invasion from south of the border).

As for the Vietnamese, most of them I worked with, well...it was ALL about "the muuuuney"...hard working/working class ethic/educated...yes, but there always seemed an element of arrogance, narcissism, superiority(maybe even cunningness)to them, ESPECIALLY when it came to money.

Also, NONE of those I worked with ever showed much appreciation for the sacrifice our military gave on their behalf, quite the opposite, many felt betrayed by our leaving, which(to me anyway)showed a stench level of ingratitude.

There was also an element of "trust"(understandable, to a point, considering where/what they came from). I always felt they didn't trust our system of gov./banking/etc., and because of which, created their own quasi free-market system, very tight-knit and members only.

All that said, most(if not all)were very family oriented, very disciplined...particularly when it came to their children. Couldn't help but admire that trait. Had many friends who told me stories of why they valued education so much, mostly horror stories related to war.

Not wanting to paint Vietnamese with a broad brush, just my impression working with/around them 10+ years.

My neighborhood is solidly blue.

::According to the map most of Irvine went to Clinton. Interesting because Irvine is largely conservative and the Republicans hold a 4-1 majority on the city council. Time to move::

We lived in Irvine for 20 years (some of those Agran years) and I don’t think you could have found a democrat in the neighborhoods. One of the first emails I got on Wednesday morning was from a friend in OC who said she woke up in hell and couldn’t write until she stopped crying. I was flabbergasted. We’d been neighbors for years and never had occasion to discuss politics - it was schools, families etc. Politics didn’t take over lives in those days like they have for the past 8 years..

The first phone call I got that morning was from another friend in Irvine (early for there/10 am here) who wanted to know if we were as delighted with the election results as they were. I told her about the email I had gotten and she too, was completely surprised.

AND we did move - first back to a real neighborhood in Costa Mesa where there were real people and not plastic (Irvine) and then completely out of the state to GA 10 years ago. Population, traffic, age, retirement, costs made that more desirable than trying to afford/tolerate retiring in OC.

Pleased to see Loretta Sanchez lost her bid for the Senate seat of Boxer but not so that it was the black female democrat AG from Sacramento who won it. Does Sanchez get to keep her House seat? There are many who will never forget how she won that seat years ago from B1 Bob.

“you going to vote for or against secession when it’s on the Calif ballot in 2019 ?”

Today and everyday into the future, I will focus on the present.

One day at a time.

Here's another map, courtesy of Wikipedia:

I noticed that the Vietnamese areas are blue. A generation ago, Vietnamese, with Communist repression fresh in their minds, tended to vote Republican.

Yes they did-- and mostly still do--but their American-born children are solidly Dem.

According to the map most of Irvine went to Clinton. Interesting because Irvine is largely conservative and the Republicans hold a 4-1 majority on the city council.

The Dems got voted off the City Council because long-time Dem Mayor Agran got caught with his hand in the cookie jar with the Great Park funds. But the population of Irvine has grown enormously in the last few years,a nd the newcomers are predominantly college-educated whites and Asians, neither a big Trump constituency.

I live in a very expensive gated community in Irvine. When we moved here 13 years ago, it was almost all white. In the last few years, nearly everyone who has moved in is either an Asian immigrant (mostly Chinese), or an American-born family of Asian descent (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian, Filipino). They're fine neighbors-- no loud parties, keep their yards clean, follow all the HOA rules-- but the precinct-level maps show that they voted for Hillary for President (and Republicans for local offices).

laguna beach.......full of lgbts.

[Slip18]

See where Laguna Beach and Dana Point meet up on the south coast of Orange County? That is where I lived in Laguna Niguel. That is where I refused to count votes after five times, and just brought them to the fire station with a note. Wonder if the same thing is happening yet again?

Does Sanchez get to keep her House seat? There are many who will never forget how she won that seat years ago from B1 Bob.

No, she gave it up to run for Senate. Another Dem took it.

“”No, she gave it up to run for Senate””

That’s a surprise. One of my biggest pet peeves is members of congress running for any office - Senate or President and campaigning for that office while still on the payroll receiving a salary for the job they were sent there to do.

I used to have the code section- yep, still do -
2 U.S. Code 39 covering UNEXCUSED absences from the House or Senate. Believe it or not, their pay is to be docked just like any other ordinary American without a legal excuse to take so much time off work.

I kept a print out from the National Taxpayers Union for members owing $$$ to the U. S. Treasury for the 2003-04 elections....They listed names and the amounts each owed:

Kerry/Edwards/Gephardt/Graham/Kucinich/Lieberman. Needless to say the amounts were probably never repaid and I can’t find anything for more recent elections when we all know there are several more for several more elections especially this last presidential one.

Thanks for your reply...Good to know that maybe she did the right thing for a change..
