Actually the reason the south is Republican is because the Republicans decided to do the racist schtick
Keep believing that.

Well worth the read IMO as this is what I have been discussing here and how I get attacked by the real left here as a trumpster/trumpkin or whatever nonsense phrase they think makes them as cute as a 13 year old mean girl. Most of the south is violet but the democrats have surrendered the south because they simply do not want any voice other than San Fransisco liberals in their party. It is also why I say the democrats are systematically trying to disenfranchise rural voters. They don't want rural people to have a voice in politics or their party.

"The facts are harsh. “The number of Democrats holding office across the nation is at its lowest point since the 1920s and the decline has been especially severe in rural America,” Bustos writes in the report."

"From the Appalachian regions of Ohio to the Iron Range of Minnesota and the northern reaches of Michigan and Wisconsin, across Iowa and Missouri and through the southern swaths of Indiana and Illinois—areas in which Bill Clinton triumphed and Hillary Clinton tanked—the quotes from the 72 rural Democrats Johnson interviewed read like a pent-up primal scream. And Terry Goodin’s comments pop out in particular. In the report, he says the Democratic Party is “lazy,” “out of touch with mainstream America,” relying on “too much identity politics” where “winners and losers are picked by their labels.” The Democrats in his district, he laments, “feel abandoned.”'
the variable that he excludes is trump is destroying the republicans
If that makes you feel better at night. In the meantime, the DNC doesn't have the cash to pour $10M into each of the 435 house seats and 20+ Senate seats to buy a sqeeker win like they did in Pennsylvania come November. I mean Lord Forbid they actually allow a moderate or a blue dog back into their caucus.
so you think the fly over states reject demmycrats because of racism?......
Big part of it, If you watched the Trump rallies the hate was palpable .Trump followers were furious, screaming and belligerent. They accosted lefty and blacks in the audience and outside. I do not think much of Trumpettes. From lock her up to beating up and hating minorities, the Trumpettes revealed themselves and it was ugly.
