Swamp Republicans saved their queen alligator, shocking.
Hupfer cited the GOP “successes” in Indiana his quest for a higher position in the national party, as though he was mostly responsible for electing all those Republican office holders to national, state, and local offices. The real credit goes to gerrymandering (executed by state legislators), Super PACs (which enable dark money to fund the party that best caters to their interests), and an electorate defined demographically as largely rural, white, poorly educated, and ill-informed.
This is in fact the same environment that exists in most other red states – few of which can be described as economically thriving unless they are sunbelt states, where it is likely the weather and not the politics that is appealing. So it’s no wonder Indiana is rarely ranked high in any category…except that it has produced the second-most vice presidents (6, compared to New York’s 11). And we all know what VP John Nance Garner thought of the office was worth.
