“But the west tends to be more of a libertarian conservative than a traditional conservative.”
Huh? Look at the elected official from CA, OR, and WA:
Governors: One RINO and two Dems
Senators: Six Dems
Representatives: Large majority of Democrats - the wacko type like Waxman, Inslee, Waters, Woolsey.
The west is not even close to libertarian conservative - it is blatantly liberal.
I was referring more to the Rocky Mountains than the Pacific Coast, which has trended hard left.

That is not the west. That is the west coast. By the west, what’s usually inferred is the mountain west:
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico.
Think the WAC; not the wackos.
