What makes zero sense is that blue state Republicans(Charlie Baker and Larry Hogan) are liberal and red state Democrats(Steve Bullock and John Bell Edwards) are also liberal. When it comes to blue state Republicans and red state Democrats, it is not a two way street.
Cory Gardner is a pretty conservative Republican from a blue state. Also JBE is fairly conservative, as is Joe Manchin.
Cory Gardner and Joe Manchin are some of the very few exceptions.
How in the literal is JBE "liberal," but Joe Manchin isn't? LOL
