Was that an accidental omission, or are we to assume that the Socialist Peoples' Republic of Hillary wants to keep all that nasty, evil, planet-destroying, and unsustainable oil and natural gas for themselves? Where will Al Gore and all the environmentalist wacko Hollywood stars top off their private jets and SUV motorcades?

Tejas will be majority Latino by 2020 and completely blue shortly thereafter. Louisiana's LGBT population is rising again after a post-Katrina lull and they will become a gay haven.

You should also write off West Virginia to Trumpistan. Maybe all those coal miners will get their jobs back instead of having their livelihoods sacrificed to the earth goddess Gaiea.

What about Utah? Do you really want to try to require a gazillion Mormons to believe that buggery is beautiful and dudes belong in women's bathrooms?

WV was an oversight - whenever you see Kentucky, just assume WV is included. As for Utah, they're a special case. The Mormon faith has the unique ability to say "our founders were wrong about [X]" and pivot. They did it on polygamy, they did it on race, they are doing it (in fits and starts) on gender equality and are quietly reaching out to LGBT Mormons. I expect a policy change in a decade or so.

Might as well consign South Carolina to Trumpistan too. The people of the Palmetto State won't meekly submit to being serfs in your Worker's Paradise utopia. You don't want to govern them as the new, enlightened overlords. They love their guns and their religion down there. It would not go well.

The Birthplace of the Confederacy is another quietly transforming state - a poor man's Florida, without the Jews. Another 8 years of Libs retiring/relocating there and that reddest of red states will be purple-trending-blue.

Note to our southern friends: non-vegan libruls LOVE Cracker Barrell, Waffle House, Shoney's and anywhere you can get a 1500 calorie breakfast for $3.99. Those places just don't exist in Los Angeles or New York City

Idiot

"You don't want to govern them as the new, enlightened overlords."

That's funny, I thought Prof was a staunch minion of the enlightened overlords model (saints and such, to say nothing of the big sky daddy, the over-est of overlords)...

I'm picturing Mormons in 2026 riding their bicycles door to door giving out French ticklers and speedos instead of the Book of Mormon.

Imagine a blue Texas after the Dem's have disarmed the populace and have done to their oil industry what they did to the coal industry in WV.

Speaking of liberals retiring to South Carolina and turning it purple, Hilton Head is advertising "Dementia Friendly Resorts"

All those new liberals will forget to vote Democrat.

PS, don't forget to vote for Bernie today, JD.

Hey, you can change your mind, no problemo. Whereas poor Paul Ryan, omg, you know when he finally endorsed Trump last Thursday it went against every alarm bell in his head and every moral fiber in his being. Oops.

Reuters (37 min ago) - U.S. House Speaker Ryan Says Trump Comments About Hispanic Judge are Racist

WASHINGTON, June 7 - U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday disavowed Donald Trump's criticism of a Hispanic judge, saying such remarks were the "textbook definition of a racist comment."

Ryan, speaking at an event to unveil U.S. House Republicans' policy proposals, said the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's comments were absolutely unacceptable and indefensible[/i].

Besmirch Waffle House at your peril. The patty melt with hashbrowns are awesome.

"Text book example of a racist comment." "Unacceptable and indefensible."

holy sheee-it

Besmirch Waffle House? I LOVE Waffle House. I eat there about once a week.

Your heart hates you

Healthy food does not make you live longer. It only makes it SEEM you're living longer.

It seems to me you've lived far too long...

Congrats to Hillary. If the primary campaign was a football game, she was given a 21 point lead at kickoff in the form of super delegates, with Bill and Chelsea among the ref's.

But, with tremendous toil, she barely beat a 75 year old Socialist.

Ladies and gentlemen, your next President of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

If Bill had been a disaster like dubya, today she'd be a retired attorney in Arkansas. The fact that the country prospered under WCJ is the reason she is where she is. Whereas poor Jeb was polling at 4% within the GOP for crissakes...while his brother painted by the numbers and continued his low-profile existence.

I dunno. Both are approximately the same age, student athletes at prestigious universities..same exact crime. Seems like the penalties are out of whack..

tick, post that in the Goat Pen on the Fla. State thread...

Bill was indeed successful economically, due in no small part to his moderate policies. He cut taxes, including the capital gains tax, raised the exemption for the death tax, cut federal spending, added work requirements to welfare, and didn't create vast new regulations specifically designed to destroy whole industries.

Hillary is no moderate, not by a long shot. If she was an economic moderate like Bill, I might consider voting for her.
