      Cause it isn’t decided by an electoral college and is harder to gerrymander against

          West Virginia and Montana exist. Kentucky is a former deep blue state too. I think they just have to be DINO and contrarian. Not saying it’s easy, but growing up I wouldn’t have thought deep south Georgia would elect two democratic senators.

            I’m just saying it’s weird that a democratic governor almost always wins, but a democratic senator never wins. Seems like their senators are juggernauts. Maybe if they left, a democrat would stand a better chance.

              Indeed. I haven’t written off any of these states, maybe not for next year, but in coming years… but then maybe I’m a hopeless optimistic.
