Of course its the problem children that approve of him. Probably where all the tiki torchers came from.

    So I thought it would be interesting to pseudo assign this to electoral college votes. Anything red with positive approval votes R and anything blue vote D. The white I just split 50/50 but I highly doubt it would work like that since that means 50 percent disapprove and 50 percent approve ( well it’s likely more correct to say approve = disapprove… but you get the idea).

    Long story short: 441 vs 97. Typically this denotes a landslide.

    If the midterms are anything like this….

      Six billionaires live in Wyoming, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but since the population is otherwise so low that means a billionaire rate of 10.3 per million people; some 10X higher than most other states. Wyoming is almost twice as infested as New York (6.92 billionaires per million people).

        There are less people in Wyoming than most counties with a medium sized city in it, 500k last I checked.

        But not just the ones living there, they all vacation and travel there, Jackson Hole in particular is like a billionaire resort. I bet many many more of them own property thereabouts.

        I imagine that they really want to be able to live like lords in the Dark Ages.

        There was a Mrs. Peel era Avengers episode where a small town rented itself out to the 0.01%. You could murder anyone you wanted and the whole town would swear it was an accident.

    For those a little confused, I couldn’t tell if red was red for Republicans or red was red for bad in the screen shot. Red is positive approval, white is neutral and blue is negative.
