Craig struggled to gain traction during the first three decades of the 20th century but took off during the 1930s and enjoyed a respectable run in the top 100 from 1947 to 1988, peaking at #39 in 1969 and 1970.  After that it was a dive into the Sea of Oblivion, going under the surface in 2018.

Not Trump's America.

Discounting Texan Ross Perot's 1992 juggernaut and his weak 1996 encore, Trump received the lowest percentage of votes since Gerald Ford in 1976 -- 5.4 percentage points lower than Mitt Romney in 2012.  In addition, Clinton improved on Obama's 2012 performance.

Source:  Wikipedia 

3rd-party candidates received 28% of vote in 1992, 7.5% of vote in 1996, 5.1% in 2016

(George Wallace received 15.3% of the vote in 1968.)

Retiring Guy's prediction:  It's just a matter of time before Democrats win this county, though 2020 might be too early to bet on with confidence.
