New Mexico, IL, MN, MI and other “blue” states have recently elected statewide Republicans. Likewise some Red states have elected Dems statewide. A big mistake of Republicans and Conservatives has been to write off too many areas.
People realize it when they are written off and they don’t like it. They react by going against those who wrote them off, which becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Historically both Obama and Hilary type campaigns do not write off so many areas like the Conservatives do. The Dems try to evangelize and convert the non-believers.
The Conservatives just circle the wagons and hunker down.
Yah I re-thought that especially if someone is likely to upset the consultant/lobbyist apple cart like Trump.
Yes but gov and pres are different.
I live in Illinoistan and I just got polled by one of those phone deals hit 1 for this,2 for that type. It asked a whole bunch of questions about how I would vote if Hillary ran against each of the Republican candidate. It asked party affiliation, It asked age, it asked how likely I was to vote, it asked if I was Catholic or Protestant. I know phone polls are worthless but being in Illinois, a state the RATS thought they had locked up, that I was polled.
