I think when you get down to state level, usually, governors and state legislatures have a bit more common sense than at the national level. It may seem that way only because at the state level it's easier to exchange governors and state legislature control than at the national level if they don't listen to the people.

Nationally, the elected officials listen to the party leaders more than the folks back home.


NH was another weird election just like the national. It was get rid of Trump, but let's not give the idea to the Democrats they have a mandate or we favor or endorse their agenda.

Perhaps folks have come to the conclusion to rein in both parties agendas we must have divided government, either intentionally or subconsciously. It's no secret a majority of Americans don't trust either party and view both unfavorably. You have 54% of all Americans who view the Democratic Party unfavorably, 58% who view the Republican Party unfavorably. That is down from last month when the Democrats were view unfavorably by 56% and the GOP by 60%. But that could be just the margin of error talking.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
