13. Oh please. My State legislature is blue, both Senators and 5 out of 6 Reps, Democrats.

None of them would consider Bernie Sanders to be extreme nor would any of them be electable here with that sort of ultra conservative and regressive language you use. We don't do politics that way, which might be why we have Democratic control of the Statehouse and such. Hillary lost here last time to Barack and just fyi it was the negativity that did her in. People can't stand that here. It did her in, but it also ended the popularity of a few of her critics that were overly nasty. Yes, this is a place where people will say 'She's not my candidate but I don't like hearing anyone called vermin, not even Republicans' and then never vote for the person who said vermin, or who called progressives 'extremists' ever ever again.

Where are you? Why is your Statehouse Red? What are you doing so wrong?
