November 25, 20169 yr When other than what McPapa quoted and he was right. Other than that I will respectfully disagree. Not along the lines we are now at. Well, the 60's were pretty turbulant. I don't think that, as a whole, the US is that divided. I'm looking at the next 4 years as the "Great American Anti-politician Experiment". I'm interested, but only in a bystander sort of way. With only a few exceptions, I feel no one in Kentucky and Federal gover mentioned represent me in any way, shape or form. I'm on my own. Well, hypothetically. In reality, there are millions like me.
November 25, 20169 yr Well, the 60's were pretty turbulant. I don't think that, as a whole, the US is that divided. I think you WANT the US to be divided, or you perceive it that way because so many don't have the same ideals as you and those you associate with.

Your mind reading skills suck. Just saying. You should also say whats on your mind and leave that edit button alone. I am a big boy. However if all the people I associate with were to speak our mind I am not so sure you would be a big girl.

I am sure that many in this great Country of our's, as well as in our Commonwealth, has felt the same way through the last 8 years, as you feel now and my guess is there were millions of them too. Strange thing to about our great Country, there will be another election soon enough and it could change again.

November 25, 20169 yr Hey! Maybe the rural voters who are so adept at managing everything so much more efficiently, and are better decision makers would be willing to forego their share of the tax dollars that flow to their communities from those big cities. Pretty sure if you look at the statistics, the suburban & rural areas that you're referencing; pay a much larger share of the taxes, than the urban dwellers who suck up a disproportionate share of the federal resources?
November 25, 20169 yr I think it will be done away with at some point. A Democrat winning despite the popular vote will hasten its happening. You really think you'd get 35 states to ratify that amendment? Or are you thinking another Obama executive order?

Wouldn't suburbs go with urban areas? Many of those folks make their money in the city. Edited November 25, 20169 yr by Hellcats Spelling

Check the area maps closely and you'll find many metro areas vote overwhelmingly blue in the city core; and then red as you move to the 'burbs? Although I haven't looked closely at the recent election; you find the Cincinnati area to be heavy blue in the city limits; and NKY, SE Indiana, NE Cincy, etc. went red--Similar in many areas; especially once you leave the big city, coastal areas. More to do with demographics instead of where people work.
November 25, 20169 yr Before that Clinton carried it in back to back elections and Carter carried it his first run. Prior to Bush in the previous 6 elections it was 3R to 3D. From John Kennedy to Obama, Kentucky voted for the winning presidential candidate in every election.
November 25, 20169 yr From John Kennedy to Obama, Kentucky voted for the winning presidential candidate in every election. You mean from Kennedy to Trump, don't you? :thumb:
November 25, 20169 yr From John Kennedy to Obama, Kentucky voted for the winning presidential candidate in every election. You mean from Kennedy to Trump, don't you? :thumb: Actually, properly said it would be from Lyndon Johnson to George Bush's second election Kentucky voted for the winner. Kentucky voted for Nixon over Kennedy and for McCain over Obama. Every race in between those two, KY voted for the winning candidate.
