I woulnd’t be so sure, MNJohnnie. Like Tennessee and Texas, these Southern Governors traveled the country doing their level best to lure the Tech Industry and all its high paying jobs. Problem is, there’s only so many native Georgians, Texans and Tennesseans to take those jobs. So, where do the rest of the tech folks come from? The Northeast, West Coast and places like Chicago and Michigan. And what do they bring with them? They bring a pocketful of cash that they earned selling their overpriced home on Long Island, but a house 2-3 times the size, while paying about 60-70% less in taxes, and then bring all their liberal ideology with them. They don’t adapt to the Southern Way, Texan Way, Tennessean Way of life. They move to Atlanta and few of it’s suburbs, Austin, Chattanooga, Nashville, Greenville, and completely transform the place to the liberal, hipster ShangriLa they’ve always wanted.
They have enough money that they don’t care about their taxes. They don’t hunt or shoot guns, so they don’t care that Abrams wants to ban them. They don’t care about anything other than keeping their liberal, hipster neighborhoods as liberal, hipster, & WHITE as they can. And, as with most states in the US, the folks in the densely populated cities, make the rules for the rest of the state. Pick any state that leans to the Left and pretty much the entire state can be described as, RED, the cities described as, BLUE, and the BLUE folks make the rules.
So, even though she’s a financial train wreck, she wants to ban and confiscated guns, she’s an avowed Socialist, she’s advocated for illegals to vote, she’s got a better chance than one would think. The race is going to be very close....Unfortunately.
I live in GA now. This message resonates with the lunatic fringe D base. It is not going to sell outside metro Atlanta.
Exactly the situation here in the People's Republic of New York and why the Electoral College is yet another example of the brilliance of the Framers in providing something so vital to the continued life of the country. More and more, we need one in each state as well.
