The 10 Most Conservative States in America

"To determine the most conservative states in the United States, we looked at voting patterns and conservative policy decisions that have taken place over the last 20 years.

These are the states that supported Donald Trump the most in the last presidential election, and where liberals and democrats are least represented."


Sorry...

10. West Virginia
9. Arkansas
8. Utah
7. Idaho
6. Louisiana
5. Oklahoma
4. North Dakota
3. Mississippi
2. Alabama
1. Wyoming

I don't think this is a pro-conservative video.

   Sen. Cruz's win by 1.7% in Texas proves what many Briefers have been telling me all along, which I didn't believe, THEN, Texas has lost our Ruby Red color and indeed are shading more purple.

Pretty much adds up with me. All these states have very low govt' involvement in peoples lives. From reading all the regulatin' going on in TX, that place is an election or two away from becoming California.

Meh. A poor bellwether... Tump is not Conservative.

And the Western states largely don't count, because by the time their primaries came around, there wasn't any choice left.

I would have ranked them Oklahoma, Utah, Wyoming for 1, 2, and 3.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

At least you got to vote. I really felt ripped off because it was the first time in ages there was someone I didn't just regard as the least evil.

Yeah, me too... but it didn't matter once it got here anyway, because Cruz was done, and I went 3rd party.

Not that much different, other than getting the privilege of standing around for an hour and the cost of gas to and from. I might as well have stayed home.
