Imagine a county, so Democrat in this country that it even voted Democrat in the ’72 and ’84 landslide elections. The county is Elliott County in Kentucky and has 4,581 registered Democrats. Elliott County has only 429 registered Republicans. It had voted Democrat for every year since 1872. Until this year. A town comprised of 90% Democrats didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton, because even they knew what corrupt disaster she and Tim Kaine would have been.
And the media absolutely hates Elliot County in Kentucky now. No county in America has a Democratic streak as long as they did. No even the counties that make up the San Francisco Bay Area. Donald Trump got 70% of the vote in this county.
The media can’t claim this is some racist county either, since they voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012.

Consider it: They voted for Barack Obama twice, for Bill Clinton twice, and a combined six times against George W. Bush, his father and Ronald Reagan.
It’s not the kind of big county that will swing elections. There are just 4,581 registered Democrats in Elliott County. They far outnumber the 429 registered Republicans. They are either the greatest political anomaly in the country, or they value tradition so much that they resisted the countless generational and political shifts of the 147 years since the county’s founding.
Never mind all of that — they voted for Donald Trump 70%-26%.
