re: #325 Big Beautiful Door
But blue state Republicans are a lot less extreme than red state Republicans; I can’t imagine Hogan could win in Md if he was a Tea Partier. The more extreme states are generally the ones that don’t have a large enough urban population to counter balance the rural whites. Kentucky is very rural and has a small African-American population, a large percentage of which is disenfranchised due to prior felonies.
That is true. Though I think it’s becoming safe to call us here in Va a blue state and our Republicans nominated Corey Stewart.
