The voters who were left behind need to vote the GOP out of power

in Idaho, sort of. Gov. Butch declined the expansion and now the state is finding out how many they have really f'd over and so now are scrambling to "out do" the ACA on their own just to show up the ACA. It isn't going too well for them since they can't get the additional funding for coming up with their own plan that is designed to - most likely - go to state coffers and not to the medical care of their poor folks.

In Montana, the TP legislature doesn't give a rat's ass about us and has chosen to pretend we don't exist. We have a Dem Gov but the legislature is soooo TP that it is just plain hard to even watch. And we do vote up here, just too many TP idiots who vote too.
