Ohio, Connecticut and Rhode Island aren't border states. The poster said Conservatives were losing in border states. Border states are those close to the South but not in the deep South. You're correct about who lost and that they aren't Conservative.
CT and RI were solid blue states, and OH had a scandalous GOP state-level regime, even if DeWine was an innocent victim :-( (the Governor switch I expected for sure)
DeWine, like Santorum, will be back.
