haha, it definitely would

it would be more competitive

I think it would have gone red in 2016

West Virginia only elected Democrats because this was during the time that the Democrats pretended they cared about the little man and Were in support of Coak

Coal

indeed

much of the south elected Democrats to local office until relatively recently

it was a remnant of the time when it was known as the "Solid South"

Ohio was for many years purple. But I think Ted Strickland changed that.

that's the election between the Republican (Theodore Roosevelt) vs his Democratic opponent, Alton Parker

it was a landslide in terms of popular vote

but the south was still solidly Democratic, except for Missouri, which went over to the GOP

Ohio always goes red or blue

But I think it will go Red

Ohio is the opposite of Virginia in that it's a purple state trending safe red

I think that had to do with Ted Strickland

He was a really shitty governor

in what ways was he shitty

He bankrupted the state, and spent the rainy day fund until it was just 68 cents

wow

He tried running for senator in the 2016 election, but his advertisement campaign was really shitty compared to Portman’s

So he lost

58.0% to 37.2%

yeah, what a pathetic showing

the good news is that if the GOP does it right, a lot of races this November should look like that

The asshole thought that “since muh trump is against abortion, so is Portman”. That’s what his advertisement campaign was. Portman’s in the other hand was that since Strickland bankrupted the State, why would we make him our senator?

if only 51.1% of people who voted for Trump voted for Moore, he would have won

But the Dems scared the voters away with the pedo allegations.

Either ways, I don’t think Jones will make it to the next election

if 75.1% of people who voted for Trump voted for the GOP candidate in the Governor's race in New Jersey, the Republican would have won

tbh if I were Jones, I wouldn't even bother running for another term

But New Jersey is a blue state

I'd abuse my time to vote solid blue

New Jersey is a blue state and Alabama is a red state

doesn't mean that the underdog party can't win

Right
