Funny how Republicans so often want the south to swing away from them because its politicians routinely embarrass the party.
I'm sure that a lot of northern liberal Democrats in the new deal era felt the same way.
Everyone feels that way about Southern politicians in all eras.
New Hampshire politicians are far more embarrassing. Your obsession with the South is hilarious.
It was obviously hyperbole, but the dominant party in the South tends to produce some real extremists who just embarrass the party.
It also seems like a constant in the deep south to have corrupt one party rule. Alabama and Mississippi have to some extent reverted to historical tradition in that respect it's just that it's now with the opposite party, granted there's a few more southern Democrats now then there were southern Republicans from post-reconstruction to the 1950s.
