For it's worth: Oklahoma. But I lied about the party-line thing - although when I was a kid in Kansas, we had a party until I think I was around 10 or 11 in the late '50's
Thank you for that, khan. Mayfield was a great college player and will be difficult to replace. But the team always recruits well and never seems to drop off from year to year.
For what's worth, I was born and bred in Kansas, so I guess I won the daily-double on choosing worst governments- although, since I'm an oldz, I will say that the Kansas of my youth and the Oklahoma of my earlier years here were NOTHING like what you see now.
As for the "Sooners going to win" thing, I'm assuming you're talking football rather than our race with Mississippi (and sure, Kansas is a dark-horse) for being the least civilized state among us. If that's the case, then according to both area and national pundits, OU is favored to win the Big 12. If Kyler Murray (a Texas high school QB legend who actually started 3 games at Tex A&M 2 years ago) turns out to be as good as his rep and minimizes the loss of Baker Mayfield, they could go farther - or not. What am I, your common pollster?
Actually, after 9-11 President Not-As-Bad-Words-As-Trump had an OVERALL rating of 90 percent, with, like, 99 percent or Republicans, 89 percent independents and 84 percent Democrats.
Yep.....I live in pretty much a republican neighborhood, and I'll say this, republicans show up and vote in EVERY election, not just the big ones. From school board, to bond issues, to congress and POTUS, they're there and they vote.
The leading candidate for 2020, according to telephone polls is, “I’m fucking busy, don’t call here again.”. Mr. Fucking will most likely name “Listen you asshole, I’ve told you to never call here again.” as his running mate.
Oddly enough, since I've retired, I've done a lot of volunteer stuff in various venues across my city, but I've never done anything in the political arena - other than donate to mainly national candidates. Probably that's because I live in Oklahoma which has become so Red that frankly, I can't see that my efforts would have much effect. As an example, our esteemed Sen. Jim "snowball" Inhofe issued a statement today about the flag-lowering thing, and he blamed McCain because he said McCain was mean to Trump. I think Inhofe won his last election here by like 80%. On the other hand, check back with me in 2020 and I may want to do my part.
A friend who is still a registered Republican with a landline, who never votes Republican, gets a lot of telephone polls during campaign season. These are all automated, and the first question is whether you're pro-choice or pro-life. Pick pro-choice, and the recorded voice thanks you and hangs up.

At best.
And I should add my post shouldn't be read in any way to be a yay about many LBJ policies...

"POLITICIAN: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE LOT SMARTER THAN THEY ARE GIVEN CREDIT FOR. (LAUGHS)
This is said with a straight face although it's obvious off-course that the proposition is stated precisely backwards (LAUGHS)."

Well then 56%ers, you know what to do on November 6th.
His ratings may be stable, but that's more than you can say for the man himself!
God they suck.

Oh, Oklahoma, the state furiously competing with Kansas to see which will take the title of worst government. That is too bad.
You are undoubtedly right about the effort will be in vain, but everything starts with a single step.
What are the Sooners going to win this year?

Well, 44% are bat guano crazy white nationalist fascists. For just idiots in general, it's between 50% and 100%, depending on the location.
