11. I still think that Vox and others are overly optimistic

about turning the OK Governor's Seat blue. The fact that the Rethugs turned away from what was actually a fairly good candidate in Cornett to vote for a Trump wannabe (alleged successful businessman, outsider, that will clean up OK State Govt) should indicate to you that OK Rethugs are not the brightest bulbs in the tulip patch. Trump is not on the ballot in November. The OK Rethugs who still support Trump will vote Republican in November and even the Rethugs that I know who dislike Trump will vote Republican in November. Unless the Republican vote count goes down and the Democrats & Independents get out in droves and vote Democrat I doubt that OK will go blue. Remember, this is the state that consistently voted for Inhoffe, Langford, Fallin and Pruitt (among many other atrocious candidates).

I would love for Drew Edmondson to win the Governor's race but I won't hold my breath.
