"Bell weather" election?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Did anyone else notice the rampant stupidity displayed by our media in talking about the "bell weather", or "bell whether" elections in North Carolina? I don't think anyone was immune from this descent into language hell!

The term is "bellwether"!

bell·weth·er
/ˈbelˌweT͟Hər/
noun

1. the leading sheep of a flock, with a bell on its neck.
   • an indicator or predictor of something.
     "college campuses are often the bellwether of change

Who cares what the weather is around the bell!

I don't watch TEE VEE. It is propaganda intended to control your thinking.

But you'll follow others on this Idiot board like it's the gospel truth they are typing! DOH! Homer looks like a genius now!

It makes me cringe!

That is just propaganda spread by print journalism. Don't drink their Kool Aid. It causes diabetes. Kardashians are good for the soul and the mind.

They were so distraught about the Dems getting their "Bell" rung I SC they didn't even care that it was wrong! No voter issues to obscure the results. Just a plain old fashion denouncement of the Socialist left! Yeah the people listen when you threaten to take their Healthcare, Cars and Guns and they vote accordingly.

Can you supply examples of media using ‘bellweather?’

I am sorry, but I don't reply to questions on my posts that are 2 and a half years old!

Just push the "I believe" button and continue on being obnoxious!

Since this thread just got resurrected, I just saw it for the first time. I’m glad I did, too, because I learned something I had not learned in all my life. I had no clue what a “bellwether” is and had never had reason to even look it up. And now, I know.
