I wonder if Hillary’s defeat angered some of the state’s Democrats, who decided to vote against Obama. Of the five states that swung more GOP from four years ago (Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and West Virginia) she carried four of them in the Democratic primary. Of course, these are also very culturally conservative states who don’t have huge epicenters of liberalism, except maybe New Orleans, Memphis, and Nashville.

This is always about northern and southern Califonicate but the real division there is between E and W. Same with Washington and Oregon. The eastern half of all three of those states hate the coastie’s guts.

The issue of Hillary was the overwhelming reason why. Most of the state Dems down to the grassroots were pledged to Hillary (with very few for the False Messiah, such as my Congressman, Jim Cooper). Junior Ford, unlike the False Messiah, was a far more moderate candidate (and although he was left of center, his voting record wasn’t moonbat, though his Caucasian successor Cohen IS a moonbat, who proudly declared himself the most left-wing member of the TN legislature for the nearly 3 decades he served), and that’s why Ford came so close to winning (that and Corker the RINO not doing much to motivate the GOP base).

Truth be told, the Dem establishment in TN is overall more moderate than many other state parties (so much so that leftists have openly agitated because of it and want to depose the establishment), and it was their opinion that the False Messiah would be a total fiasco (in this state, that was absolutely true. Outside Memphis and lamentably, my own city of Nashville, he was completely toxic). When the left gets its way and takes control of the state party, the GOP is going to take over a massive chunk of the state (the rural areas, especially, where the Dems still have a lot of sway) and the Dems will only have minority areas and trendy urban White lib districts remaining.

Good point. One other thing to consider in Shelby county, the Memphis area that turned from blue to a purple, is the number of democrats that fled the city they detroyed. Many have moved across the state line into Desoto county Mississippi.
