That's less true these days, the centrist Dems are rare.

I'd say both states are closer to flipping blue; MO because it's such a narrow margin, and TN because it is rapidly growing with transplants.
Missouri used to be a swing/bellwether state. Not anymore obviously. I feel like Ohio is following Missouri’s trend and somewhere like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are the new Ohio/Missouri.

Exactly. People always assume that Transplants = Democrat voters.

The vast majority of the Democratic Party are centrists. Progressives occupy 30% or less of the party.

That's BS. There is nothing "centrist" about thinking 8 year old children can be transgender.
