Thank you for posting this, Katoblue!

Youngstown, Ohio. That is where this interview took place. According to Wikipedia.org, Youngstown falls into two separate counties: Mahoning and Trumbull. (Youngstown is the county seat in Mahoning County. Small portions of Youngstown are in Trumbull County. Its county seat is Warren.)

Mahoning County was carried in 2016 by Hillary Clinton by +3.3 percentage points. But, when Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012, he carried Mahoning County by +28.3. (Hillary received 49.5 percent of the vote, down from Obama’s 63.4 percent.)

Trumbull County became a 2016 Republican pickup for Donald Trump by +6.2 percent points. But, in 2012, Obama carried it by +23.0. (Trump won it, in a Republican pickup, with 50.7 percent of the vote. It was in the 2012 Democratic column for Obama with 60.5 percent.)

Those were mammoth 2012-to-2016 Republican/Trump shifts in just those two counties in bellwether Ohio.

I can’t say that this is surprising. Not to me.

In 2008, the Democratic presidential pickup year for Barack Obama, there were a good number of state counties which Obama flipped Democratic for the first time in decades. This included the following counties: Virginia’s Loudoun (Leesburg), Prince William (Manassas), and Henrico; Colorado’s Araphaoe (Littleton), Jefferson (Golden), and Ouray (Ouray); Nevada’s Washoe (Reno); New Mexico’s Los Alamos (Los Alamos); and Ohio’s Hamilton (Cincinnati); and, in a state Obama did not carry, Texas’s Dallas (Dallas) and Harris (Houston).

In 2016, the Republican presidential pickup year for Donald Trump, there were a good number of state counties which Trump flipped Republican for the first time in decades. This included the following counties: Wisconsin’s Kenosha (Kenosha) and Vernon (Viroque); Pennsylvania’s Erie (Erie), Luzerne (Wilkes–Barre), and Northampton (Easton); Michigan’s Saginaw (Saginaw) and Isabella (Mount Pleasant); Iowa’s Des Moines (Burlington), and Dubuque (Dubuque); and Ohio’s Portage (Ravenna), Erie (Sandusky), Trumbull (Warren), and Montgomery (Dayton); and, in a state Trump did not carry, Colorado’s Pueblo (Pueblo).

There are some common denominators involved with these flipped counties. All the ones which flipped Democratic for Obama, from 2008, were retained by Hillary Clinton despite she and her party having lost the White House with Election 2016. And it could go that way for a number of the Republican pickup counties for Trump, from 2016, the next time the White House flips from Republican to Democratic. But, what I am getting at is why these particular ones flipped.

I think, because of many of the areas Trump flipped (he won primarily through the Rust Belt), the Democrats do have a problem with the working class. And the working class is not limited to only whites. The national exit polls, from 2016, showed barely any further Republican shift from Romney (2012) to Trump (2016) for white voters. I think it was Romney +20 and Trump +21 for whites nationwide. But, non-whites shifted Republican for Trump. Obama beat Romney nationally by +3.9 percentage points. Trump received Republican shifts nationwide from blacks and Hispanics each by +6—which were indicative of being able to win over the U.S. Popular Vote, even though Trump did not, but were enough to flip six states to deliver the Electoral College and presidency to Trump.

This also reminds me why I have summed up Election 2016 as the following: Republican presidential primaries voters voted the nomination to the candidate [Donald Trump] they needed to nominate. Democratic presidential primaries voters, for however much it was actually legit, did just the opposite [with Hillary Clinton].
