    I came across an interesting point being made about why is it that the most successful Republicans neither live in nor vacation in Red states/towns/cities?

    Take a look at ANY conservative with money/power and see where they live. Almost universally they live/vacation in blue enclaves, blue cities, or blue states. Because the scam is even they know solid red places are typically shite in terms of quality of life regarding any pick-your-metric that looks at education, healthcare, economy, disease, employment, etc..

    1. Trump. Lives in New York
    2. Hannity. New York
    3. Coulter. New York
    4. Shapiro. California
    5. Alex Jones. Austin, Tx
    6. Limbaugh. Palm Beach County Florida
    7. Michael Savage. Beverly Hills California, Palm Beach County Florida
    8. Lahren. California
    9. Sheldon Adelson. Las Vegas Nevada
    10. David Koch. New York
    11. Rebekah Mercer. New York
    12. Bill Oreilly. New York

    Glenn Beck vacations in New York to see plays and the opera. Limbaugh plays in golf tournaments with the wealthiest people on planet earth, Hannity's luxury palaces in Vermont and New York, Donald Trump flying to Palm Beach County Florida every other week.

    Funny how these conservatives with all the resources and access to go and fo anything they want typically reside or spend their time in solid blue places. The only time you'll see them in red areas is when they're selling books, on promotional tours, or campaigning. Think Trump, Hannity or Limbaugh would ever in a million years vacation or move to West Virginia, Alabama, or Kansas?

    “We love how great this place is! Buy my new book tells you how liberals are ruining society!”, the conservative con artists shout to the cheering crowds. Of course, they would never live there or even think about having these people as neighbors.

    The biggest con is these poor suckers being completely oblivious to how much the people they admire the most utterly fucking loathe and despise them. The coal miners are oblivious to the reality that they are being used for their political support and money. Trump is wealthy Manhattan elitist, in his brain the coal miner isn't even worthy enough to wipe his fucking ass. But hey, at least the miner is up to date on the latest Glenn Beck book installment, how socialism is destroying America. He may not have a pot to piss in, but at least he's helping prop up Beck financially so that he can take another lavish and exotic vacation in New York City.

    The biggest scam of all.

    Also to the people who may say "but Florida and Texas aren't blue", read what I said. Blue enclaves/blue cities/blue states. Austin, Texas is SOLID BLUE and Palm Beach County, Florida is SOLID BLUE. Where does Limbaugh live? Trump vacation? Palm Beach Florida. Where was Roger Stone living when he was arrested by FBI agents? SOLID BLUE Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Florida. Where was Steve Bannon living when he was domestically beating the shit out of his wife? Miami Dade Florida, residence split with New York.

    • Since the vast majority of urban areas are blue, even in red states, pretty much the only way to avoid "blue enclaves" is to stay in rural areas.MondoMorphic
    • I disagree, to contrast, here's a list of the most conservative cities in the US. https://www.homesnac…whatthefunk
    • California might vote blue, but it's full of conservatives. They have a long history of republican representatives too.monospaced
    • I think they do this also because they love to feel oppressed. If they lived among their own, they wouldn't be able to bitch and whine as much.monospaced
    • I don't think Trump was Republican until he needed to pick a side in the election. He was besties with the Clintons until he started his campaign.monospaced
    • Trump’s never had a solid conviction for anything in his entire life except greed at all costs.mg33
    • whatthefunk: Your list shows only small towns. So yeah, cities are blue.zarkonite
    • Check bottom of list. Houston and Dallas are huge though ~40% conservative. List was about majority conservative. Why aren't they booming if GOP is so grand?!?whatthefunk
    • Family Value Christiansutopian
    • To be fair, your list is mostly people who work in media/entertainment and a few traditional business owners. Nearly everyone lives where they work.
