Is there any data on how the smartest and the dumbest 10 states voted? Because there is one thing we all know, education is not smart. Especially over the last couple decades as education, like most other things, just becomes a tool for profit for the teachers, admin and most of all, those that finance the process.
More telling might be the states with the highest levels of homeownership, or business ownership or the smallest average size business, the lowest traffic, the lowest carbon footprint, the happiest. Or perhaps the states with the highest and lowest income divided by cost of living. This would show how effective the eduction actually was.
Education is a tool, not goal. A parallel to your example would be the states with the most and least circular saws.
Still interesting though. Both groups are brainwashed and love to look up to idols, they are just brainwashed in different ways. Even more interesting might be which states had the most votes not for either of these guys.
Perhaps the best data of all would be how University of Phoenix grads voted, or do they actually graduate?
Keeping pushing for a civil war and dividing the nation based on idols and you just might get one.

Raees, if you take a step back, it looks like both groups of followers believed what they were told without bothering to question it.
It is AMAZING how the two parties are so the same and yet the followers spend all their time taking the similarities and call them out as differences. Again, propaganda.
Hope? Independent voters have started to become 40% of the elctorate. Downside? I think many people are independents just because they are too bored with politics to become involved and vote in primaries.
If you want your vote to be more powerful, attend caucuses, become delegates to the conventions and make your opinion known, this is the way to do it.

Whats really funny is how all the Walfare States always go Red...They're all on some form of assisistance down there and they always vote for the people that want to eliminate it... lol
The vast majority of republicans are so stupid, so ignorant, so easily minipulated that they ALWAYS are talked into voting against their own self interest. You see it here everyday..
