These folks will always come home to Team GOP. These voters might not like Trump very much but they love tax cuts. That is their big issue. They will never support a center-left party in any significant numbers.

I had friends who would have preferred Cruz, Rubio, Bush or any number of Republicans over Trump but held their noses and voted for him in the general election. When I asked them why "tax cuts" was always the answer.

Sure there will be pockets in the South where Democrats can make some inroads, but anyone who is aware of the South's history, sociology, culture and politics can tell you it's best to concentrate elsewhere. Even after FDR pulled many Southerners out of a deep well, far too many were too eager to vilify the man.

The kind of conservatism that grips the South exceeds politics. In fact, the political habits are more symptomatic of something far deeper, more averse to change, more suspicious of anything that hasn't been indoctrinated and embedded over generations. It's the reason the region of the nation that benefits most from the federal government is so quick to spew hatred at the very forces and resources that help them.

I expect Ohio and Iowa are headed for the same.

to live closer to my family my husband and I have decided that when his contract is up at work we will be moving to a blue state. I can't stand living in red states anymore!

Minnesota.

in MS and we hate it!

The entire upper Midwest is trending Republican- Wisconsin's just "ahead" of the rest. TRUMP came way closer to winning MN than anyone since Reagan.

manufacturing and the jobs here pay more than jobs I've seen in Washington and California and our cost of living is much cheaper.

this hellhole of a state. I swear, if you've been gone even ten years you wouldn't recognize it. People are no longer nice to each other, nobody trusts anybody, everyone seems to be going fundie... we've been turned into a bunch of hateful jerks. At least southerners still fake being nice.

to move somewhere else. Trust me, I know all about hateful jerks living in the south. People up north are amazed when I tell them some of the stuff I've seen and heard living here.

Really we need some of those electoral college votes to win, unless we make headway in states like NC, AZ, FL.

I'm not buying we cannot flip some these either. We recently flipped one historically republican state in Virginia and won North Carolina in 2008. The Midwest is trending republican so we better make a dent in the south.
