Assuming somewhat similar platforms and voting patterns, the GOP seem about to lose states like Virginia, Nevada and Colorado for good, while states like North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and a bit longer term even South Carolina and Texas are in play for democrats.
Supposedly this loss could be somewhat offset by republicans running the table in the midwest/rustbelt states outside of Illinois. Iowa is trending hard right this cycle, for instance. But could the GOP really win all of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota in a tight election? Or are we just seeing Donald Trump currently maxing out the "stupid white people" vote? Will it be possible for future GOP candidates to appeal to business republicans and the Alex Jones segment at the same time?
Could we have a swing state map that looks like this in 2028:
The map here is 238 Dem/151 Rep. Texas takes the Dems over the finish line; this isnt the best math.
Maybe same thing but NC becomes swing instead of Dem?
