Interesting.... states that are seeing population/diversity growth are shifting D, and those that aren't are shifting R. Short term hurts the Ds, but long term...

Is there a map out there that shows plain old swing from 2008-2016 too?

Say goodbye to Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, and Michigan's Senate seats. We may gain the same amount of EVs, but that's 4 or 6 seats we're down in the Senate.

Is this really the future of the two parties: Republicans as the party of whites and Democrats for everyone who isn't white? If so, I think that says something deeply disturbing about where we are not only as a democracy but also as a country.

We won't be noncompetitive in the rust-belt for senate races for a long time.

Plus, including IL, PA, and WV there are currently 12 dem held senate seats. Including AK, the D trending sunbelt states have the exact same amount of R held states.

People who think Texas will become a Democratic state are out of their ing minds.  At best, it will be a swing state that the Republicans will go through hell and high water to win every single cycle.  Plus, I'll bet a LOT of money that the Senate and House delegations will remain in GOP hands either way.

TX is solid red for now, but the fact that Trump won it by a smaller margin than Iowa worries me. If Trump does well during his first term, perhaps he will win it by a similar margin as Romney.
