I live in northwest Ohio on the edge of Indiana. All of my antenna TV is out of Indiana so I see A LOT of Indiana politics. I think the deal about him spending so much time in Florida hurt him a lot. And I don't blame the voters. If you are representing a state your ass better be there most of the time when you are not in in DC. He lost connection and the voters looked for change.
