Fourteen states have set new records for low unemployment rates in the last year, nearly a decade after the recession put millions of Americans out of work.

In March, eight states hit new record lows, including Hawaii (2.1 percent), Idaho (2.9), Kentucky (4.0), Maine (2.7), Mississippi (4.5), Oregon (4.1) and Wisconsin (2.9).

No, the working taxpayers who died by lethally low taxation brought unemployment up for a short time, but the benevolent dreamers were able to quickly fill that void - restoring socioeconomic righteousness.

This isn't important to democrats, they are more worried about women Trump slept with 10-15 years ago.

ME is one of the top three states that could flip for TRUMP in 2020 (NH, ME, MN).

I think they are all more likely than CO, VA, NM, or NV (but also depends on the DEM nominee).

if Trump would get rid of Beauregard and pass sensible weed legislation he would basically be a lock for CO and a few other states - and would be assured a 2nd term

As competitive as Trump is, I would be truly shocked if he isn't already working behind the scenes to make this happen if possible.

Good thing our Governor and his cronies are suing the one industry that creates jobs in Louisiana.

Trump might struggle in Colorado due to 25% of the population being millennial. Most of them are transplants that moved to Colorado, so are probably pretty liberal. Trump received only 20k more votes than Romney, and lost by 4.9%.

Yeah Colorado Virginia and NV are all getting younger and browner.

NH MN and ME are getting older and staying white, which is why I think that TRUMP has brighter prospects there (especially against an elisist like Harris).

Maybe but Obama did well in NH, MN and ME and he was black and elitist.
