there could be something to this

In a state this purple with the national consensus (even if it is shrinking) still leaning towards the Dems, I think this is a great sign of things to come.

What state are you referring to?

FL

Oh. I thought Florida had been slowly trending Red

it's referring to the senate election we have which most likely will be current Governor Rick Scott and Senator Bill Nelson

It did in 2016, but that's tricky

Florida is the swingiest swing state ever

But I thought in general the trend at the state and other Federal Government level was towards Republican there. It's a very slow but steady trend because Florida is so divided

FL's R at the state legislature level (so far) but extremely swing in Federal politics

Like it will be a Swing State for a long long time but we aren't losing ground there

Blue counties are getting bluer (Miami)

Red counties are getting redder (Pensacola)

it's extremely hard to tell what Florida will do long term

That is happening every where I tjink

People are self spring

we've got to make the best of it, definitely

I made a list displaying the percentage change needed to take each state from democrats(2016 election)

.37 New Hampshire
1.5 Minnesota
2.42 Nevada
2.96 Main
4.9 Colorado
5.32 Virginia
8.22 New Mexico
10.98 Oregon
11.37 Delaware
13.7 Connecticut
14.1 New Jersey
15.51 Rhode Island
16.2 Washington
17.07 Illinois
22.49 New York
25.45 Vermont
26.42 Maryland
27.2 Massachusetts
30.11 California
32.19 Hawaii
86.4 Washington D.C.

Let us not flee from leftist degeneracy to red territory, but make uncertain territory our home. So that growing cities do not make the mistakes we see so often in history.

Man If we would have been able to hold Virginia we would have an Electoral College Lock with the Rust Belt now Purple

Commiefornia splitting into 2 or 3 states would be golden. Jefferson and East CA would not go blue.

@Sacramento another way of looking at this data is to subtract the 2.1% that Cunt Face won the Popular Vote by.

So like Nevada votes .32% More Democrat then the rest of the country. And New Hampshire votes about 1.7% more Republican then the rest of the country etc..

I feel bad for the Republicans living in California. There state is turning into the third world and there is literally nothing they can do.

If Trump gets 50% of the Popular Vote in 2020 New Hampshire and Minnesota will flip. And Maine and Nevada will be extremely close.

lol, one of the biggest reasons I support Trump is his personality

this Jewish chick told me she likes his policies, but not his speaking style / vulgarity

I think that the problem for a lot of people is his rhetoric. People like his policies

^

@Walter Johnson Pat Buchanan and George Wallace are against wealth redistribution; GWB supports it.

Also yeah

The reason he won the primary was definitely his personality and rhetoric; Ted Cruz basically copy and pasted his most popular proposals into his platform before the Iowa caucus.

So if you wanted Trump policies, you basically could've voted for Cruz. In fact, he was probably more right-wing/Capitalist in many ways.

However it is precisely because he was more far-right than Trump on economic issues that he was ironically not as electable as Trump.

I highly recommend everyone here read Trende's book "The Lost Majority".

@Den interesting, what did you take away from it
