87% is very surprising.
Sounds like what one would expect in N. Korea, China....etc.
But it is a scandal that only 40% of the republicans voted. OH is a manufacturing state, big time, and it has and will prosper again under President Trump.
Any so called conservate that does not vote for Trump and for those that will help him is really stupid.

"87% is very surprising."It's not 87% of all Democrats and 40% of all Republicans. It's 87% and 40% of the 2016 turnout."Sounds like what one would expect in N. Korea, China....etc."
"But it is a scandal that only 40% of the republicans voted."
Only 40% turn-out in such an important election, tends to indicate something more than mere voter complacency. I have a feeling that we're looking at multiple effects here, such as:
1. A bland and uninspiring candidate who didn't motivate voters.
2. Republican candidate greatly outspent by the Democrat.
3. Governor Kasich talking down the R candidate and the party.
4. The left-liberal press (as usual) pushing for the Dem.
5. Lack of support from the GOP-e/RNC.
