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
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
We could win New Jersey since Menendez is so controversial
