re: #31 Honorary Yooper

What’s interesting is the numbers form the South. Granted, the NE is mainly Democrat, and the Midwest and West are split Republican and Democrat, so WTF is going on with Southern Republicans?

Do they not realise that Hawai’i is a state (since 1959), and has been US soil since 1898?

I’m not sure. The South is IIRC the one geographic stronghold the GOP still maintains a demographic lock on. That is, it’s the one area where they’ve maintained numbers and not lost.

I think the problem may be that the GOP is focussing on that demographic base, rather than doing outreach. Which doesn’t bode well for party direction.
