Irrefutable Point II: Trump Won the Bellwether States

Topic: Elections

In yesterday’s article, I explained to you why the national bellwether counties are still relevant indicators of a candidate’s strength with working class voters, who have decided the fate of national elections for many decades.  That won’t stop Trump haters and fraud defenders from dismissing the expiration of all but one national bellwether county in the same election because of “COVID.”

The second irrefutable point regarding the anomalous 2020 election finds its significance in the very foundation of our national elections. The writers of the Constitution conceived of the Electoral College because they wanted to encourage the formation of political coalitions, rather than having Virginia (the California, in terms of prominence, of their day and once dubbed “the birthplace of Presidents”) dominate the national popular vote.

The media spent the entirety of Trump’s term convincing the electorate that he was losing his working class base (which he would need to maintain to win re-election), moderate Republicans, suburban women, and minorities. In other words, he was portrayed as a weak candidate on his way to a defeat on par with those suffered by George H.W. Bush or Bob Dole in the 1990s. 

Despite the dishonest predictions of doomsayers, Trump managed to carry Iowa and Ohio in landslides, Florida by a larger margin than in 2016, and North Carolina (with the latter two containing substantial election fraud).  Ohio and Florida are well-known national bellwethers, with Ohio failing to predict the winner only twice since 1896 (in 1944 and 1960, with the latter being a controversial Kennedy win).
