So here is one bright light.

Josh Turek won his house seat! This is a District that was won by Trump. The Iowa GOP and NRA spent tons of money trying to defeat Josh. They had paid canvassers while Josh had one paid campaign manager who worked her ass off and a lot of incredible volunteers. Sadly, the Iowa Democratic Party did f*** all to help.

Congratulations to Josh!

election campaign. In fact I don't think any red state should be. These red states need to be financially starved until they realize how their votes affects the lives of all of us.

where the presidential countdown starts of money obtained through the tourists, media, etc. who are involved. My suggestion is also intended to reduce the status given to these states.

I live in AZ -- home to Gosar, Lesko, Biggs, and others and would want this suggestion to apply here, as well.
