thought experiment

it probably won't be as much of an issue this year as its looking to be an anti-gop year - but people have long remarked about the dems overconcentration. If the dems had the same number of ultra dem seats (i.e. ones that regularly go 70%+ for democrats) as they did 40 years ago, would the dems be better off? The reason I ask this is I think its possible that the gop has as many ultrasafe seats now that the democrats had back then.

I feel like the places where they'd be would be would be the coasts...which would basically have no effect at all in Presidential races as most of those states are safe - and possibly some more rust belt  areas (at least prior to 2016) - which could have meant 2016 didn't go the same way - though I feel 2016 would probably break that pattern similar to what 64 did in the South.
