The Homney Rule

The Homney rule is that just because a person is from a state doesn’t mean they will win it in a presidential election. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in the presidential election of 2012, lost his home state to incumbent Barack Obama. This is mainly due to Massachusetts being a “Solid Blue” state for democrats since around 1960. The Homney Rule also applies to Al Gore in 2000 and many other presidential candidates throughout history. The Rule’s name is in reference to HOme state and mitt roMNEY.

Just cause Ted Cruz is from Texas doesn’t mean he’s gonna win it in 2028, the Homney rule is known to hurt the republicans
