Mississippi is not known for their absence. High social capital Williamson County, Tennessee, no matter who it went for in the primary, will go for Trump in the general.pithomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997094225496018110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304928500646903522.post-75594124247341201942016-09-10T00:11:08.521-04:002016-09-10T00:11:08.521-04:00"It is hard for me to imagine Texas voting fo..."It is hard for me to imagine Texas voting for a party that advocated higher taxes and more regulation in the name of preserving our heritage."<br /><br />-It is hard for you to imagine the fourth, fifth, and sixth party systems? Texas was the state to vote for Harry Truman by the largest margin in the country and voted for Hubert Humphrey in 1968. One county in North Texas (Cottle) voted for Walter Mondale and George McGovern, voting for the Republican nominee for the first time in 2000. This year, it cast the majority of its primary votes (both Dem and GOP primaries combined) for Ted Cruz.<br /><br />"Second, it assumes that the culture wars will either fade away or somehow come to align themselves with economic interests."<br /><br />-Yeah; not seeing it happening. The overwhelming majority of Sanders supporters support amnesty, despite the fact Hispanics were some of the only demographics to support Her both in 2008 and 2016. Trump came to prominence partly due to his hard line on immigration.pithomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997094225496018110noreply@blogger.com
