The 12th Congressional District in Ohio went for Trump by double digits in the 2016 election. However, a special election to elect a new Congressman for the 12th district ended up being very close.
Trump took credit for the win, and yet blamed the closeness of the election on someone who he says is unpopular.
Remember that. Trump says it is because a certain Republican is "very unpopular" which caused the election to be so close.
Here he is, in his own words:
Now here's the thing, folks. Kasich is more popular than Trump. In fact, Trump is far more UNPOPULAR in Ohio than Kasich is. Trump beats Kasich's unpopularity by 24 points!!!
So by Trump's own benchmark, the election was close because TRUMP is so unpopular.

Trump shoots himself in the mouth again!
