Yes, it needs to lose its bellweather status. Other contenders before this election included New Mexico and Delaware, and yes, they failed, too.

     OH & VA were the real bellwethers here. They voted almost exactly the national average.

Virginia wasn't a bellwether for Clinton's elections.
Ohio has a better track record, but they're just too Republican in some elections, like 1960 and 2000.
