46. Which is why I said that we DONT NEED Mississippi and Alabama
And the racism isn't about Rush Limbaugh, it's something that goes back to the days way before the civil war, poor white people in the south feel that they need to be better than somebody, and that somebody is blacks.

Obviously there wasn't enough racism in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennesee, Florida, Kentucky, and West Virginia to stop Clinton from winning there. How about Ohio, Indiana, Idaho, and Colorado? Segregation was ILLEGAL in those states before Brown v Board of Education, they are red, two of them are SOLID red. Perhaps racism is rampid enough in Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina that Democrats can't win there. Again, WE DONT NEED THOSE STATES to win elections. We can appeal to people in the other 47 states without racism.
