Note my post 37. I noted there probably won’t be much change in Chicago, though who knows, maybe they’ll get a Republican alderman again one day. Cook County, Democrat, but not entirely. Governors in IL, a state with a large rural population, since WWII, 6R, 7D, the last R left office last year. If conservatives decide to demonize suburban voters, more specifically those who may have voted D, it will lose elections. I spend about half my time in the Chicago area, half in rural WI. Not much different the IL or Oregon, Madison, Milwaukee with suburbs, and a large but not dominant rural population. Went for Trump by a narrow margin, first R since Reagan and Nixon before that. Urban vs rural divide is common. Amongst states we need, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania. Texas, Arizona. Won’t win them by telling independents and leaners they got riots because of the way the voted, even if there’s some truth to that, and they deserve them. That’s a winner for Joe.
Probably should have noted WI Governors since WWII 10R, 7D despite largely D presidential votes.
