100% because Vermont is a Republican state at heart.
Wtf?
Historically, Vermont was the most Republican State in the Union, consistently having either the highest or second highest Republican vote percentage from the founding of the Republican Party thru the election of 1936. It wasn't until 1964 that Vermont ever voted for a Democratic presidential candiadte and it wouldn't do so again until 1992.
I think it's probably best if everyone reads the thread before examining the post itself. Seems there's a fairly large chance it was sarc.
