18. It could be hacked, it could not be hacked, or, like the dominant theme seems to be,

Nov 2016

it could be whites rallied around the orange dumpster.

I have a friend here in London, her parents moved to a small county about 200 km outside Chicago, almost all white. Carroll county.

Was the 3rd biggest (by percentage) switch from Obama to Trump in the entire US. I highly doubt they were hacked, it is in the middle of nowhere.

I am not saying hacking did not happen, but where the hell is the Clinton Campaign and the DNC? If they had the slightest whiff, I would have to think they were all over it.

The night of the election, I knew, as soon as Macomb county MI started coming in big for Trump, it was over.

Maybe you should look there.

someone knew what they were talking about

17. If Trump wins in Michigan

It won't be the Flint voters.

It will be the blue collar Democrats in Oakland and Macomb County who are wooed by the chance that he might do something to stop jobs from leaving SE Michigan.

These are the same voters that gave George Wallace the Democratic primary victory over McGovern and Humphrey in 1972. They could care less about the people in Flint.
