Imagine living in a state where Marsha Blackburn has a +10 favorability rating. I feel so sorry for progressives living in red states.
You realize Pennsylvania is a red state, right?
Um, no it isn't? Do you even understand the concept of red and blue states?
You see, one election that a Republican won by 0.72% with a lower share of the vote than George W. Bush in 2004 makes a state blood red. /s
Pennsylvania is trending Republican. Trump's steel tariffs help its industries. The rallies he's getting in traditional Democratic strongholds like Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (one of the places mentioned by Mario Cuomo in his "two Cities" speech) is huge. In 2000, Tennessee was only red by "one election" too. Anyways, I just thought Shadow's comment was ironic. Back on topic.
Tennessee was already established as a red-trending state way before 2000. The only reason it was a "swing" state was because a Southerner had won the state in the previous two elections. If someone like Jerry Brown or Mario Cuomo was the nominee in 1992, Tennessee would have stayed in the red column.
