Red, but not totally into that Trump's America thing: Waukesha County, Wisconsin, the inspiration for an unsubstantiated New York Times subhead


And how does the New York Times know this?

Because a handful of people told reporter Sabrina Tavernise so.  
But in about two dozen interviews over three days, many Republicans said that while they voted for Mr. Trump reluctantly in 2016, they no longer felt hesitant.

24, huh?

What about the 20,255 fewer votes that Trump received in 2016 compared to Mitt Romney in 2012?  (142,543 for Trump; 162,798 for Romney)

And what about the 445 more votes that Clinton received in 2016 compared to Obama in 2012?  (79,224 for Clinton; 78,779 for Obama).

They do now

Let's call it the one-tenth-of-one-percent conclusion!

3rd party votes: 20.9% in 1992, 6.7% in 1996, 8.7% in 2016
