No, it looks like he went over pretty bad in the river towns too. Hillary got around 60% of the two-party vote in Sharpsburg, for example, and 53% of the two-party vote in Etna. This isn't too different than what Obama won in these communities.

I am pleasantly surprised by that. Too bad outlying counties couldn't see him for who he was either.....

Outlying counties saw through the biased media manipulation against him. River towns should have noticed that Obama policies for the last 8 years have brought very little in the way of re-investment or jobs to them.

And the billionaire who lives in a Manhattan penthouse who made so many of his products overseas will? Not one person from either party will bring back anyone's jobs that left 20 or more years ago.

I fully support & respect the voters who voted for any of the 5 candidates in my district. Sad to see some people here who do not & likewise have no respect for the electoral process if they don't get their desired result.

My district had over 80% turnout and went for Trump.

Seems the big story is the utter failure of the partisan polls.

This is the way I see it. I am just glad people voted. Their vote it their vote. They get to vote for who they want to just like I do.

I am upset that so many people are made at others for voting for 3rd party candidates.
