While NM was far and away the leader in welfare recipients, per the list provided, the #2-6 States are traditionally Republican; hence the Republicans have traction there.
I believe Republicans would get traction in New Mexico, if the majority of New Mexicans felt they had a better plan than the Democrats.
As a 61-year-old who has voted for a Democratic President only once, I know I would.
