Democrats are pretty bad at managing states. California? Illinois? Disasters. New York is okay but still has a shortfall. Maryland, too, has a shortfall. While McDonnell's Virginia has a surplus.
Exactly one of the main reasons I'm a Republican,
The GOP may have some pretty kooky base supporters on paper but the Democrats can't govern anything whether on the county, state, or federal level to save their lives.
Agreed. It's also great how Republican led states are always at the top of public education, healthcare and income. Oh wait..
You can't just say that Republicans or Democrats will always be better or worse at managing states. It doesn't work like that. There's a lot of other factors at work. Georgia is led by Republicans and has faced a budget shortfall for years now while Dem led Massachusetts had a large surplus last year.
