I agree with Blairite that it's wishful thinking to predict Chicago going the way of Detroit considering it's a global city with a strong knowledge base, the exact type of place which in the world economy is poised for massive growth. If Republicans have to bet on Illinois going red then they're in a pretty desperate situation.
IMO post-Trump the GOP should just nominate a black guy like Tim Scott to detoxify the party on race. Or get the first Hispanic president. Marry that to Trump-lite nationalism and I don't see why you couldn't largely retain non-college whites while eating in to the Democrats' current absurdly huge margins with minorities. Maybe it will take another few cycles but there will reach a point where everyone gets tired of unending racial polarisation and a mold-breaking nominee will be perfectly place to unite the country on a 2008 Obama post-racial message.
