Well the 2016 election is finally over, after a year and a half of campaigning. Donald Trump won Ohio and its 18 electoral votes. Donald Trump received 52% of the vote and Hilary Clinton got 44%. The Presidential race did not turn out the way that many people thought it would. When looking at a county level map of Ohio, Hilary only won 7 counties and yet received 44% of the vote, this is clearly due to the large population centers that are near Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland. Trump won in Ohio by 8.5%, a margian that was larger even than polls that came from the Trump administration. Trump won Ohio by getting the vote of the rural areas, and the areas that have many frustrated layed off union workers. Trump won by appealing to the emotions on sensitive topics, and the slogan "Make America Great Again" really took hold in Ohio. I am interested to see what the next four years bring, much of his campaign I heavily agree with, though I am very reserved on if I think he can do any of it or not.
