This should be interesting. Smiley

Since we have TX vs OH and have OH vs MS, we should also have TX vs MS in order to test for transitivity.

Texas is more marginal and is undergoing faster demographic shifts in favour of the Democrats due to the expansion of sunbelt urban centres and hispanic migration so the lone star state is the obvious answer.

TEXAS

The state on the whole is less ethnically-polarized. Texas is much more educated, much more urban, and much more prosperous. Texas is near the social average in America, and it is more amenable to Big Government.

Texas has a love-hate relationship with New York, and Donald Trump reminds Texans of the sort of New Yorker that they love to hate. Not since Thomas Dewey in 1948 has the GOP nominated for President someone such a poor match for Texas culture. (At least Goldwater would have fared better had it not been for a Favorite Son and lots of guilty feelings about November 22, 1963).

It may be asking for too much, but another Barack Obama in ideology and temperament would beat Trump in Texas.

Sarcastic answer:

Mississipi because there are blacks there, and they vote Democratic. Additionally, #populism from President Beto will appeal to rural whites there, plus Doug Jones's mega coattails will make the whole South Safe  D, thereby making it an assured Democratic victory.

Real answer:

I seriously hope this thread isn't serious.
