Alabama or Colorado? I have lived more than a decade in each.

Florida or Michigan? I have lived in both.

Texas, North Carolina, Wyoming, California - I have lived in these states.

There are big differences in the thinking of the populations of the Sanders states and the hillary states.

I have lived it.

At the Colorado caucus events the differences between the hillary supporters and the Sanders supporters was shocking obvious.

My fear of alert abuse keeps me from saying anything about my true feelings, observations, and sociological thoughts.

I will say that some places are much better than others and some people are more thoughtful.

Lol. Az for 5 years, and Oregon for near 20. And i agree, it's startling really how each region has it's own flavor.

Minnesota and Nevada,passive aggressive vs.anger aggressive. Wisconsin and Minnesota,suspicious aggressive vs.passive aggressive.

Being involved with elections in all three,the best and most informed is Minnesota,least informed,Nevada. Sad to say,our education system is last or next to last in the Nation. Breeding ground for Militias and other hate groups.

L A is more progressive than Orlando and Miami but I have heard my share of bigoted sentiments here which I will recite here if anybody wants.

I don't want to disparage any part of the nation but teh south (sic) is not some monolithic blob.
