RE: It CAN”T work - can it?
Well, let’s look at a “conservative” state like South Carolina.
In 2010, an unknown simpleton named Alvin Greene for some reason, won the Democratic primary to challenge Jim DeMint for Senate.
During a TV interview with Lawrence O’Donnell, he kept mumbling “Jim DeMint started the recession” over and over again.
Every question asked of him had the same answer.
See here:

When asked about his plans for the economy, his response was the same: “Vote for me, I have a plan.”
Of course, nobody expected him to win. Jim DeMint did not even spend any significant amount of money on his campaign and donated a portion of his money to other GOP candidates.
Jim DeMint of course won.
But here’s the surprise: Alvin Greene took in close to 30% of South Carolina’s votes !!! (nearly 350,000 votes ).
You want to see how stupid people can be? This election was a clear example of the NUMBER of stupid voters.
How much more of liberal states?
No surprise at all. South Carolina is 27.9% black, which is to say it is probably at least 27.9% liberal. Red states take more money from the Federal government because red states generally have more blacks, and therefore more people on welfare, as a % of the general population. Weirdly enough, it's also one of the reasons red states generally have higher crime rates than blue states.
