Food for thought: A Northeast liberal hasn't been elected President since 1960

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

It's been even longer since a northeast Republican won.

Donald Trump won 2 years ago

I was thinking more of New England when I typed that.

George H.W. Bush technically counts.

This is a monumentally useless observation. When was the last time the nation elected a conservative from the Midwest or the Deep South? A liberal from the West Coast? Anyone at all from the Interior West?

1984 (Ronald Reagan).

Um Reagan was from California not the Midwest 

Um, Reagan was born AND raised in Illinois not California.

Reagan’s political career was built in California and particularly in Orange County , served as a Governor of that state and even considered him self Californian .

Yes, we all know that but he was still a Midwesterner.

He was a lifelong Cubs fan. He had announced games for them when he was younger and he threw out some first pitches for the Cubs back in the '80s.

He also visited his hometown of Dixon, IL during his Presidency. Additionally, growing up in the Midwest had a huge impact on his values and political career.

I say all of that as a person who strongly dislikes Reagan's presidency.

I never really considered JFK a liberal but a moderate who threw out some liberal shop talk because of which party he was in.

LOL what? JFK himself said that he was a "proud liberal". Moderate, where?

Of course he did, he needed to get the votes of liberals. And your claim about Reagan is beside the point. What does it mean?

JFK was a liberal, that's not up for debate.

Also, I was just being technical when it came to Reagan. #DealWithIt.
