Sure, I’ve posted videos today talking about how to win over Trump’s base and exploring why poor Southerners vote Republican, but how do we flip each state from red to blue? Here are at least some answers, ranking each state from “most flippable” to “hopeless.” Disqualified: Virginia and Oklahoma. Virginia is disqualified not because it isn’t part of the Southeast–it… Read More »
If Trump actually does become the 45th President of the United States (and I hope not, AuditTheVote), then he’ll become the least popular incoming President in history.

[Though I wonder why she went with Virginia senator Tim Kaine over the other Virginia… Read More »

We use this question to dive deep into the VP race: Can anyone good stand to work with Trump? Are Bernie’s odds of being chosen 0.000001% or 0.000001%? Are liberals intentionally trying to make Republican heads… Read More »
