Hey, Hey, Hey now, don't you be calling my state a Republican stronghold. East of the Cascades, maybe you'd find pockets of Republicans but you'd also find more cattle than people too. Oregon isn't a Republicpuke stronghold, its firmly in the blue state category. That said, good people are welcome here and I'm glad that you like the state.
Interesting logic train you have here. Good state? Must be Republican. State with financial or environmental issues? Must be Democrat. Simple and conveniently aligned with your "I love me some stupid" philosophy. Also wrong.
Michigan, the state with lead contaminated water is completely controlled by Republicans. The lead in water crisis precipitated by Republican leadership and management. Oregon, where you would rather live compared to California has both state houses with Democratic majorities and a Democratic Governor. OR representation in DC is mostly Democratic too. A bit farther left than Obama but not as far left as Bernie. Something we might get a chance to fix later on.
As far as Cali is concerned, it took a Democratic governor to resolve the budget crisis brought on by stupid Republican leadership and ideology. The drought, well, that's kind of beyond everybody's pay grade. Unless you think its God's punishment for Cali's stance on gay rights.
Not sure where you get your news but your credibility is just about nil based upon your ability to retain facts.
Which does a lot to explain why you want Trump so badly. Simpletons like him a lot.
Oh and how about that wall the shithead loves so much. Also the police action he proposes in order to deport 11 million people.
Nobody gives a shit that you don't like Democrats. Nor can you mount a rational reason why.
