To the editor:

GOP strategist Liz Mair in an op-ed column in the Sun Friday did a fine job of cherry picking statistics to extol the virtues of red states. She ignored, however, some critical statistics that paint a far more dismal view of states controlled by Republican governors and statehouses.

You must be 'extrapolating' with a biased fork. Republicans attend church more, are generally happier and live longer according to numerous studies. Liberals believe in nothing and are therefore unhappy.

Wow! Now that you've cleared that up perhaps you can send the good news to all of those "Blue Staters" who are migrating in droves to the Red States and Red Areas for a better quality of life.

Maybe that will keep them in the Blue States they've ruined with their unsustainable social programs and politics.

Just sayin'.

Proof positive why Donald Trump just loves his uneducated followers. They're so gullible.
