Retiring Guy does the math for GOP South Dakota governor Kristi Noem

Since 1896, a Republican presidential candidate has won Brown County 17, a Democratic candidate 16 times.  In a rational person's political playbook, that's translates as purple.

Moreover, Trump received 963 more votes than he did in 2016, a 10% increase, in a county where the 2020 population of 38,801 has been treading water since 1970

Biden received 1.086 more votes than Clinton did in 2016, a 20% increase.

Trump's share of the vote increased by 0.7 percentage points.  Biden increased Clinton's share of the vote by 4.4 percentage points.



Original 5/2/2021 post, "Dear David, the only thing Kristi inspires on the left is mockery.  Best, Retiring Guy", starts here.

Her misdirected, overweening presidential ambitions make her a laughingstock.  There's nothing hateful about that.


New York Times, 5/2/2021
“It’s a contest about who can trigger the media and Democrats the most, and Noem is trying to get in that conversation,” said David Kochel, a Republican strategist and a veteran of presidential politics. “It’s, ‘Can I come up with something that’s going to inflame Rachel Maddow and raise awareness among conservatives because Fox will cover how much the left hates me?’”

Kochel is a Never Trumper.
