Are there figures on Obama supporters that voted for Trump?

I think the reason for the Trump win was that republicans came out to vote for him, while a lot of Democracts who were pro-bernie were incensed and just didn't show up to vote.

Which is also very, very stupid when Trump is the alternative.

I will say as I usually do that I am not really that educated on all of it and that my posts are purely opinionated but yeah I'm pretty sure Trump flipped 200 counties that went for Obama. I may be wrong, so if somebody knows better please correct the record.

Yes, he flipped the counties, but that doesn't mean people jumped ship.

You're correct, the absence of democrats voting is probably a bigger factor as my quick search turned up that 7% of Obama voters went to Trump. As high as 20% in places like Wisconsin however.

That is a very surprising number. Even the 7% flip seems high.

The stats were from a Washington post article about a week after the election and they used assumptions based on exit polls and specific questions regarding the economy and union membership.

Not an exact science by any means, I'll try to locate the article again nonetheless.

From what I've gleaned from many friends and family, who live in the USA, is that after 8 years of Obama, many voters were not pleased with the direction the country was heading down, and the promised results just were not materializing............and just like when a Football coach has lasted well past his BB date, replacing him with the Defensive coordinator (HRC) was just gong to bring more of the same philosophy, that voters have had enough of.












Americans still trust Trump more than the media—and they’re right to

As French voters look set to make a massive swing to the right in their upcoming presidential election, a group of frightened liberal protesters have decided to back a relatively surprising, if impossible, presidential candidate in 2017, Barack Obama.

And, lest you thing this is a joke, a quick walk around Paris even reveals campaign posters for "Obama17" plastered all around the city. http://obama2017.fr/

MSM have done a lot of damage to themselves. Election coverage was horrific. They chased Trump around when he was a fringe candidate to boost their ratings because of greed and now they are female doging non stop.

(frank) them because they played a big part in giving the Tangerine Nightmare an out of proportion platform.

They (Trump/Bannon/Enabler RNC/ portions of the DNC and MSM) are all deplorable imo.

You might get the idea that I am cynical as fuk with regards to politics and you would be correct lol.
