If this is the 2036 Map would would it tell you about the Political Alignment

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This looks like it's a map from the 60s or 70s. If a Democrat in 2036 is winning Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana, they are not gonna be winning California, New York, or Vermont.

I call B.S., at least on NY and CA.  The idea that CA and NY are voting Democratic only because the GOP is too "redneck" for them to tolerate such a party is overblown; neither is a bastion for economic conservatism either (in the slightest), and both have large minority populations.

Didn't say anything about NY or CA voting Dem because the GOP is too white trash. You just admitted that neither is a bastion for economic conservatism and both have large minority pops. That's why I reasoned they wouldn't vote along with Arkansas or Louisiana. Those states are not liberal in the slightest while California and NY voters are liberal, at least where most of the votes are.

Boy, do I have an election for you.

Two of them, actually.

From decades ago.

1996 is as far from 2016 as 2036.

Indeed and a lot can happen in 20 years time. Just twelve years ago, both NY and CA had Republican Governors, which is now deemed completely impossible.

A couple of things stand out about this map, and yes it is very plausible, though some things are more likely than others.

1. It requires minorities to behave differently based on region. Like say 15% of African Americans in ILL and NJ, but single digits in the Deep South with massive Democratic intensity and turnout. IT is possible where former GOP control of the Deep South, causes such intensity among younger African Americans, meanwhile disenchantment causes a residual minority of slightly larger proportion in the Northern cities to defect to the GOP. A lot of variables at play, particularly regarding the class economically of the defectors and what issue mix the GOP has.

1.5: Republicans have to start winning Asians

2. Requires a turnaround with college educated whites, at least in the Midwest (which is ironically the easiest place to do it and place most likely for it to happen). The reason for this is 1. Germans, 2. Catholics, 3. Higher Residual Republicanism, and 4 Less likelihood of a generational revolution (though such is likely in play in Chicago Suburbs by this point).

3. Requires the GOP to keep winning non-College educated whites at strong levels.

I don't think TN, KY, WV, MO, and AR move into this by natural demographic evolution, at least not by 2036 though ironically I have a similar map that has the Democrats winning all of these states, plus OH, FL, AL and TX among others, as a part of a victory scenario. I think it could happen in this scenario if you had a Democratic candidate who was very charismatic and from one of those states like maybe Tennessee and probably a Governor as opposed to a Senator, which is how my scenario does it.

This is not a new coalition for the GOP, but the trick is how to keep a predominantly Northern coalition of college and non college whites under the same roof with a majority of Asians and 15% of the Northern African-Americans in the 2030's. It is very close to Ford's 1976 coalition.  

I don't think it is as simple as dropping Trumpism, I think it requires an amalgamation of Trumpist elements with a set of more standard GOP positions. We are starting to see candidates who are trying to accomplish this and they will likely be the most successful ones going forward, but naturally 2018 is a bad year to pull this off in.

^I would think the Republican Party would be getting more than 15% of the black vote in 2036 if they're relying on non-Southern African-American votes to win national elections.

By what margin would the GOP be winning Asian/Pacific Islanders in this scenario?

I think that would be the ceiling, it would take a while to get above that.

Its never just one piece of the puzzle though. All fit together to weave a victory map and so you would have to combine some higher percentage with Asians, college educated whites and even Hispanics in order to flip OR and WA. The same goes for NJ, ILL etc.
