Ah, we begin the games with demography, cost of living, etc. The more germane question is how well do conservative voters live in states run by conservatives. The fact that there are many impoverished democrat voters in conservative states who are condemned to poverty because of degenerate cultural practices should not enter into the calculation, in my opinion.
What? I have to travel to places like Massachusetts and Rhode Island from time to time and they are liberal hell holes. Degenerate Practices? Get a grip.
