Yeah, I don't get the size relevance either.
And I've lived in the South. Very little of Oregon is THAT conservative. Oregon may be mostly moderate, but the moderates vote mostly Dem.

True liberals hate Hillary Clinton anyway.

I agree! Hillary Clinton might proclaim to be liberal, but just look at her voting record when she was in the Senate--first and foremost, a liberal would have never voted to invade Iraq. She is more of a centrist; which at one time several years ago, she said she was, as well.

And I would honestly prefer a centrist president BUT not one as war-hungry or as corrupt as Hillary Clinton. Sanders won the primaries in Oregon. I'm sure most voters for Hillary were just because they didn't want Trump (and actually, much to the chagrin of vocal Trump supporters, the same can be said for many Trump voters. Many didn't like him but hated Hillary more, man what a craptastic election year 2016 was. It was voting to be stabbed in the leg or shot in the arm.)

Well, this is what happens when the media chooses the top 2 candidates for us, like any other year. Both Clinton and Trump got so much free air-time, neither of them would have needed campaigning if either of them didn't have the $ to do so.

Clinton's name and Trump's behavior was all the media needed to advertise each one of them far more freely than it has been in any recent election in the past. Instead, we get the most sensationalist candidates as the 2 top party choices to choose from.

As each of them wrapped up their nominations, the media began centering on how much they despised each other. Puhhhhllleeeassseeee. The Clintons have donated as much of their time and $ to the Trumps for about as much as Trump had funded the Clintons during Bill's presidential run, and Hillary's Senate run. All of the photos online of the Clinton's and the Trump's hanging out together are not by coincidence and not photo-shopped.

Astoria might be the only town on Oregon Coast that's anything close to liberal.

Sanders wasn't a democrat, which made a mess out of running as a democrat.

It's a mixed bag. I saw some Trump Yard signs in the more affluent areas (even in Portland). They may be socially liberal but like conservative things like gun rights and lower taxes.
