The bigger question is how did IN flip but MO didn't despite coming to so close. in 2008 MO was still considered at least a possible battleground

Race. Hill would have won MO easily.
Indiana has quite a lot of racial “history” of its own

Indiana though is a Midwestern state through and through while large parts of Missouri is like the upper south

If Obama really won the general election in Indiana owing to its proximity to Chicago, why is it that Hillary won the Indiana primary, when a myriad of Democratic Hoosiers live in the 1st congressional district, where the Chicago media market exerts its biggest influence?


Primary performance isn’t the same as general election unless by that same definition, Ted Cruz would have been a better fit for Wisconsin than Trump was vs Hillary
