(165,252 posts)Your assertion is to assume the will of a narrow segment of the country somehow portends to the rest of it and it doesn't. The U.S. is too "regionalized" in thinking for that. In essence, you argue (to make an analogy) that the will of one demographic is somehow reflective of all.
And as another counter argument, my own state (PA) has also not voted for a GOP President since 1988 and we just voted less than a month ago, and the numbers were reverse from Oregon, with over 3 times the number of voters. So using your argument, "the incredibly large sample size" here in PA (she received almost 1,000,000 votes here), counters your assertion.
And as a note - I am not a "Hillary supporter" but am a Democrat who will vote for whichever one makes the ticket here in PA. And at this point, Hillary appears to be the one who will be on my ballot come November.
I did not post to shit all over Oregon... But only to note that the OP has ascribed an (IMHO) outsized importance to that one state's results in the scheme of the whole election cycle.
