States have been trying to poach businesses off one another forever.

There is a good reason why the blue states have:
- Higher family incomes
- Higher education levels
- Fewer teen pregnancies
- Fewer divorces
- Greater range of arts and cultural outlets
- Subsidies to keep the red states alive
- etc
- etc

Nothing in this latest campaign changes any of that.
