but there also comes a time to fulfill promises

The governors and legislatures aren't red without reason. Flipping the govs mansions and the legislative houses isn't something that can be solved with flippant commentary.

It requires people guiding democratic politics at the state level who have a whole lot more ability than say, Wisconsin's Mike Tate, arguably the worst state democratic chair this century.

That really is going to require input, and input of a lot more than money, from outside these states that need to change their governors and legislators.
