People flocking to low-tax states could swing future elections
The Hill ^ | 18Jan18 | Jonathan Williams

Just a month ago, as friends and families prepared to gather for the holiday season, the men and women at the U.S. Census Bureau were busy releasing their latest annual estimates of population changes across the United States.

With the hustle and bustle of the season, many Americans missed the important new data. The new census estimates detail how states have grown since the last full census in 2010. The estimates provide some fascinating insight on what we can expect from the quickly approaching 2020 Census.

For those of us wonky enough to follow the annual trends in state-by-state migration, the numbers were an early Christmas gift.

Your comment is spot-on.

Many of those who flock away from ruined blue states spent a large part of their lives as willing participants in the befouling of their own nests.

Then, instead of learning from their previous experience, they move to a new, cleaner, nest and immediately begin spreading their crap all over the place.

Exactly .

The Dems were promoting them to leave PR was that the reason .
They were meeting them at the airport .

The power,was left off way too long and the military should have stepped in and stopped the corruption in the supplies distribution .

These new arrivals are bitching about the US government not rebuilding their home in 3 months.

Trump is said leader of government. They will go home.

I’m going to stay here a while longer and continue fighting to return Virginia to the fold. We went “purple” a number of years ago, and now appear to be “blue”. But if Trump is successful in cleaning up the swamp, I think a lot of the leftist dirt-bags will start leaving and we can transition back tourple” and then, God willing, work our way back to “red”.

Maybe I’m overly optimistic, but I’ve lived in Virginia since I was 6 months old. I love my commonwealth and I am not quite ready to write her off.

I had always planned to retire and die here. With that said, though, Texas and Wyoming are looking pretty good these days.

By the way, I hate the “color-code” used by the media and politicians these days. Red is the color of for socialism, communism and the left. Red should be the color assigned to democrats. In fact, if I remember correctly, that was the color code used back when Reagan was running for president. I cannot remember exactly when “they” changed it, but it’s been red=republican and blue=democrat for quite a while now.

On the other hand, I suppose there’s an argument to be made that it should be red=democrat and slightly-less-red=republican. There does not seem to be much difference between the Main Stream Parties (MSP) any more.

We should have listened to George Washington.
