Florida + Wisconsin can help the republicans offset a Texas loss.
Of course if Texas goes blue, then North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona will all have gone democrat as well.
Eventually, I think the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and perhaps Minnesota might become red states. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire midwest (sans Illinois) goes red.
But they would have to win a major sunbelt state besides Florida to stay competitive.
Minnesota is different from a lot of other rust belt states in that it has a lot of college educated voters.
