The only truly purple areas these days are suburban neighborhoods that surround large metros cities.

However even that is changing. It seems to be the trend in the middle of the country, suburbs are turning more and more red, and on the coasts suburbs are turning more and more blue. So basically a microcosm of the country at large.

Works for me though as we will always have an electoral college.

My county is a good example of this. I live in a major Atlanta metro county, Cobb County, and this county voted blue for the first time ever during the Presidential election. Hillary had over 6,800 more votes in Cobb County than Trump did. Another metro county, Gwinnett County, did as well.

Democrats really really need to let social issues die and get on the student loan reform train.
