Final gasps of the confederacy?

Guess these people are Confederate flag hugging coal miners then

That's the problem with your argument. If Trump's base is so racist and everyone knows this, how could any Obama voter then vote for Trump.

Yes, they did. If you're claiming they didn't please how Trump won states that went to Obama.

Do you know how the electoral college works? ffs? look at the total numbers of votes.... https://www.fairvote.org/faithless_electors

Trump turned formerly blue states to red. I know you're simply dumbfounded by this so maybe this will help...

"But on Election Night, it was clear the surveys had missed a massive surge in some places and shifts in others of white, working-class voters in Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that helped Donald Trump pull off the upset.

These maps show where the Trump surge happened and the places that flipped from supporting President Obama in 2012 to going for the Republican nominee and billionaire real-estate mogul just four years later."

Game. Over.

Trump got as many votes as Romney. Hillary lost to Hillary.

🔘 The DNC kept demanding/expecting the base to vote for her,

🔘 She took certain States and demographics for granted, passing them by during her campaign,

🔘 The States you mentioned had been witnessing a continuous decline in their manufacturing which they felt wasn't being addressed,

🔘 No State votes entirely one way or the other, a slim majority in most of his wins are indicative that a significant portion voted against him as well. They were just discounted as in all but 2 States, it's winner take all with the Electoral votes,

🔘 Hillary has the appeal of a peeled onion dipped in jalepeno juice squeezed through aging Bill's socks that have spent the better part of 2.5 decades at the bottom of the clothes hamper.

None of that explains how people voted for a person with a "racist base"

I agree, Hillary was a terrible candidate, and she ran a lousy campaign, but that doesn't have anything to do with the OPs misinformed claims.

Would states have joined had they known their represention would be tried to be comprised by people that want NYC, LA and Chicago would decide the presidency?

Actually the USA is (or was-ish) a federation of 50.

No disrespect to your father (R.I.P.), just going along with the flow of the characters here,,,

Wait, who?

It's an honest question.

thats nice, and some went from Red to blue... totally meaningless... and oddly all the states listed were ones which clinton mistakenly believed she did not need to visit or campaign in... her fault on that... all said... the OM remains... Chant your "blood and soil"... we are done with the confederacy and all your statues belong to us now..

No, no it's not. I asked you a very simple question and you still haven't explained it. Let's try again

"If Trump's base is so racist and everyone knows this, how could any Obama voter then vote for Trump."

At least now you admitted that Trump turned Obama states and counties red, but that doesn't help you.

Merely because Clinton ran a poor campaign doesn't support your claim.

Do you even know what the term "base" means in politics? ffs... get a grip
