That may make them vote even more for him.

Seriously, maybe Jon Tester or Steve Bullock if they're up against someone like Charlie Baker?

Charlie Baker seems like the Libertarian leaning Republican that would be loved even more so by the people of Wyoming.

Dave Freudenthal, but only if the Republican nominee is Vladimir Putin or Hillary Clinton.

I've never worked in Wyoming and don't know their politics all too well, could somebody please explain what makes it so red at seemingly every level?

Liz Cheney switches parties and runs as a Democrat for President in 2032?

I think this thread is so outrageous, that it belongs in another forum. Why do people ask such ridiculous questions? sometimes I wish you had a bit more political common sense before you went to post this.

DC was 4% Trump. Wyoming was 22% Clinton.

Trust me, I know politics. I am a UMaryland poli sci professor.

My apologies for a sarcastic response and the inevitable Atlas feeding frenzy that always ensues when one raises a question which challenges the CW on the Forum.

Democratic Presidential candidates have in the not too distant past been able to perform relatively well in Wyoming....

Hell--- even if one looks at the County Presidential Map of Wyoming (Which not being a paid Atlas member had to pull out of a storage bin that I made way back when I was in High School in the late '80s/early '90s, it's actually pretty amazing how many counties in Wyoming Dukakis carried.

The key for a Democrat to win Wyoming is obviously the Southern Belt of the State, that runs all the way from Evanston to Cheyenne.

When I was a kid every year we drove all the way down that belt of I-80 in Wyoming to visit our Grandparents out on the East Coast, so I know most of the pit stops along the way, as well as where the vast majority of Wyoming Voters live.

Along that belt the most traditionally Democratic County is Albany County (Laramie) that voted overwhelmingly Dukakis in '88....

Look at Sweetwater County (Rock Springs) that went heavily Dem in '88, a place where my step-mother who grew up in Wyoming along with her seven brothers, warned me about mixing with the locals, as it was a "Roughneck" and Oil Boom Town.

Go out to Laramie County, which actually includes the largest population center (Cheyenne), and once you get off the highway even in the daytime you'll see the Petroleum refinery.

So, even if a Dem Presidential candidate can exceed Dukakis '88 numbers in the traditional Democratic Belt in the State, then you start to run into the subtraction of votes that come from heavily rural areas in the Middle and Northern Part of the State....

Sure, all politics are local, so maybe a Dem could potentially pick off a US Senate Seat/House Seat/Governor at some point down the line, but what Democrat running for President would be able to create a winning electoral coalition in Wyoming?

It would definitely have to be a Westerner (Not Californian), that understands both rural and energy issues in detail, that doesn't pander to the "Anti Gun" crowd....

Wyoming voters are very pragmatic when it comes to Social issues, with a strong Libertarian streak....

My stepmom used to tell me that "The cowboys were the first Hippies"...

So still not sure what Democrat might perform best in Wyoming at the top of the ticket, but definitely not seeing a Presidential GE win anytime in the future, regardless of whom the Dems decide to select.

Hmm, he did get a higher % of the vote than everyone except Carter in '72, JFK, and of course LBJ, but it doesn't look like he won any counties - he kept Bush down to less than 50% in two counties.

Jim Justice and that's about it.

Seriously. The combination of coal, oil, and ranching likely put WY outside of any reasonable Dem coalition for the next 100 years.

Fruenthal/O'Rourke vs Collins/Huntsman makes it closer than usual.

the economy collapses under trump. There are many widespread food shortages. Everyone votes for the democratic party, because nobody wants a president that collapsed the nation

None. Someone like Jim Justice probably would win some Southern states if the Republican nominee is Charlie Baker, but states like Wyoming stay solidly Republican.

Just about any Democrat could... if they ran as a Republican.
