I thought it would be interesting to show how narrow it is...literally, but you can see the exact distribution of representation this post from The Blaze.

That’s pretty misleading considering 14% of the land they may still cling to has the largest population centers i.e. cities where all of America’s problems exist.

That's 14% too much. LIBs/DIMs tend to metastasize, like the societal malignancies they are.

Too bad representation isn’t apportioned by acre.

Less than that, actually. Three Dem reps elected from Arizona represent mostly desert and mountainous wastelands that include Indian Reservations. Bulk of their votes came from Flagstaff, Yuma, and Tucson.

Still tens of millions go to bed every night praying for HRC in 2016.

That’s why I linked to the post from The Blaze showing what it looks like by district. You’re right, you do get a better idea of where they are represented, but I just thought it was interesting to see it all condensed...

Exactly. That is very, very misleading and dangerous. It gives the conservatives the idea that they have something of value....it isn't...territory does not vote.

Given that the House is controlled by RINOs, the significance of the last election amounts to RINO win of control of Senate imo. And I still have to question if conservatives are having fun yet.

Yup, this is a statistical distortion.

The truth is worse than this. They represent the vast majority of disaster areas of the US.
