The South

[BaldEagle1991]

Yeah I can see Democratic gains, but all of what you guys have been saying are mostly because of Northern transplants, minorities, etc. I would like to see some small inroads into White-born Protestant Southerners. That would be an interesting change to see. If they can really do that then states like Georgia and Texas can truly start being competitive.

I think a lot of people are forgetting there's a large amount of people in the South tied to the military. That right there is another factor to think about.

The south, including TX, will be a GOP stronghold for the forseable future. I think the GOP will be able to make enough gains with Hispanics (Insert George P. Bush here) to keep the state Red.

Ted Cruz is a Republican Senator of TX, but he only got around 30% of the Hispanic vote. A Bush family member would probably get much less than that nowadays.

Virginia - growth in urban North Virginia (specifically Fairfax County) which is a suburb of D.C. AND large African American population growth in the Hampton Roads area
 
North Carolina - growth in the urban Research Triangle AND large African American population

Georgia - growth in and around Atlanta area from African American

Florida - Cuban going from reliably Republican to swing voters

Texas - growth in Hispanic population, growth in Austin, DFW, and Houston

 

You missed a few.
