NATIONWIDE, THE STORY over the past couple of weeks has been how Donald Trump outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Back here in Boston the converse was true: Hillary Clinton trounced Donald Trump. Clinton did slightly better in Boston than President Obama did in both 2008 and 2012. Even further, Clinton did not lose a single one of the 255 precincts in Boston, and she earned a majority in every precinct except one: Ward 16, Precinct 12 at the southern tip Dorchester. Conversely, Donald Trump did worse than Mitt Romney in 2012 and only reached 40 percent of the vote in two Boston precincts: the same Dorchester precinct where Clinton failed to win a majority and an adjacent precinct (Ward 16, Precinct 9). Trump did not earn a majority in a single precinct and his support was below 20 percent in 196 of the city’s 255 precincts.
