They need to run as "compassionate conservatives." Wyoming has the smallest Democratic base of any state and 30% seems to be the ceiling for them statewide. They can risk alienating a few angry Dem base folks by running as compassionate conservatives because there are so few Dems.

They also need to focus on flipping Laramie County (Cheyenne). They have pretty good holds on Teton County (Jackson) and Albany County (Laramie) but the most populous county in the state continues to be elusive to them. Even in non-election years they need to be hitting the pavement in Cheyenne and working to flip voters. Natrona and Sweetwater Counties should be secondary priorities. Ignore all the other counties at the moment unless you're doing Native and Hispanic outreach.

What's wrong with that? From what I can tell it's a very beautiful state. Certainly far better than living in Oklahoma or Ohio.

It is a nice state to visit, no question. But there is not a lot to do there once you have seen the national parks and been to the rodeo once.

I guess as part of this plan the best thing to do would be to airlift the entire city of San Francisco (complete with all the buildings and their foundations) into the middle of Wyoming, so that all the Californians would not immediately want to leave again.

That would change with an influx of population. Wyoming is one of the few states actually losing population right now and has been doing so for at least two years in a row (https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2017/12/20/eight-states-saw-population-declines-in-the-last-year), so few businesses want to actually set up shop in the state. If the hypothetical influx of Californians you all mentioned moved there, things would change fast. Heck, Cheyenne would finally have over 100,000 people lol

Just take San Francisco and PUSH IT somewhere else!

San Francisco will be floating in a few years, shouldn't be hard. Just hook it to several big trucks like a double wide mobile home
