When I lived in Missouri 10 years ago it would never have elected such an idiot. A state that brought decent thinking people like Thomas Hart Benton, President Truman, Roy Blunt and Claire McCaskill. There was a saying what goes Missouri so goes the nation.. this will never be true again. Thinking is secondary to outrage in this state. They have been outraged since Obama was elected.

Electing a black president permanently enraged a lot of hateful people across the country. We're going to be dealing with the fallout for a long time. To be clear I'm not saying we shouldn't have, but I think we underestimated just how many people in this country would react very badly to that from a political standpoint.

Actually, that might explain a lot of things.
