Gore/Trump voter. Describe.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

So, what kind of person would have voted these ways in 2000 in 2016?

Maybe a young liberal who became conservative later on? A conservative who didn't like Bush?  Someone who hates dynasty politics and thinks more people should have a fair chance?

Discuss.

[Mr. Smith]

Disaffected Appalachian area working man.

[RINO Tom]

Disaffected Appalachian area working man.

Probably this.  I remember someone posting a really interesting article one time that pointed out that the (obviously pre-Trump) GOP swing in Appalachia had at least as much to do with poorer voters not voting as much as people becoming disaffected with the national Democrats, too.

There is truth in that too.

[(Still) muted by Kalwejt until March 31]

When did he switch to voting GOP? There are very many of these people throughout the Mississippi basin.

The Dole/Hillary voter is a more interesting case.

Tbh a lot of poor formally democratic non-voters, did turn out for Trump in droves.

[AGA]

In addition to an Appalachian, someone who lives in the rust belt.

[PMHub]

Probably from Iowa

[Stranger in a strange land]

Rural Democratic voters who never recovered from the recession, and laid-off factory and mine workers. Not all that uncommon, and probably as much as 25% of the vote in places like Trunbull County, OH and McDowell County, WV.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

My father. Hated Bush Republicans, likes populists/nationalists.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Someone living in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania

[Thunderbird is the word]

Someone in Appalachia, makes the most sense. I actually remember reading somewhere that in 2006 and 2008 the only areas which became more Republican from 2004 were certain outer borough neighborhoods of New York and Appalachia. So alternatively I could also see a hawkish New Yorker who became more right-wing after 9/11, I've encountered that type quite a few times.

[Thunderbird is the word]

Also quite possibly Trump himself.

The Dole/Hillary voter is a more interesting case.

Dole/Hillary would be Muslims and wealthy suburbanites from Connecticut or Northern New Jersey.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

The maps indicate it would be a blue-collar, white, working class voter, most likely a union member.

[Skill and Chance]

Older rural Dem with a high school education, likely a man.  This one is pretty easy.

[Axel Foley]

Pasco and Hernando Counties in Florida are home of those kind of voters.

Such a voter was probably a West Virginia UMW member.

Their vote probably goes along the lines of Gore 00', Kerry 04', Abstain, Abstain, Trump 16'.

Voters closely tied to their union, would be less likely to vote for republicans though.

Arizona stayed the same

[Kingpoleon]

I would assume they live in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, or Ohio. Maybe West Virginia.

[Plankton5165]

Arizona stayed the same

So did Kansas, the Dakotas, Massachusetts, and Delaware.
