Texas for sure. Over 50% grade age children are Mexican. They WILL be blue voters for sure. It's a matter of time.


With as many smart folks on this board, still unsure how this board doesn't see this

Do you even blue trend bro?

I'm not so sure about Virginia, this governor and legislature is gonna have every hillbilly at the polls in November. Unfortunately I have to send my absentee ballot to Florida, which I think is going to be red

Texas sold it's soul to the devil. It had the "booming" economy for 20 years due to the influx of cheap labor and they looked the other way. But the chickens will come home to roost and Texas will be unrecognizable 20 years from now.

Texas is way closer to being blue than people realize. Look at the voter registrations. It’s not a pretty sight.

Californians continue to flock to Texas

Texas continues to be the most popular destination for Californians choosing to live in another state.

Georgia is where the fight starts. Obama's people began a focus there in 2008 due to massive migration into the Atlanta area.

I'll give you one that is just off the radar but I am told is in the crosshairs

Tennessee maily because of the explosive growth and movement into the Nashville area....Metro Memphis is Navy Blue

NC, NV, AZ, CO, and VA are basically hard blue now.


North Carolina has gone blue once since going blue in 1976 and that was 2008. It even went red for Romney.

It’s still a lean R state and has actually reversed its trend toward blue.

AZ isn’t blue yet either.

I tend to agree with you. I live in Williamson County, (suburbs of Nashville), historically a very affluent and conservative county. However, in my town, almost no one is a born-here Tennessean. My neighbors across the street are from CA, next door to them are from OR, tons of folks from NY, CT, list goes on. This massive influx of liberals who bring their terrible voting patterns with them is eventually going to come to roost. I think we’re still a few cycles away, but it’s trending bluer. Once Trump is gone, there’s risk here in TN.

Yup
Californians and New Yorkers are more colonizers than refugees

Georgia has seen a huge increase in Hispanics and to a much smaller extent New Yorkers.

True, but I think it will flip back to red after going blue. Hispanics, in general, align more with republicans once they get off the free shite and see the Democrats for what they are.

I’ve heard TN will be blue in 5 years. We’ve had a red super majority for years and squandered that by electing Republicuck Guvs. RINOs and white leftists are in a race for the most stupid and ignorant group of people on the planet.

Wait you mean defaltionary stagnation with high unemployment, high taxes and regulation, low economic mobility, a massive welfare state with unsustainable debt burdens and a surveillance state isn't utopia to you?

If she runs for Senate, she could steal that seat thanks to Collins challenging the sitting Republican.

Last Senate election in Texas was more positive. Over 50% of Cruz voters wasn't born in Texas. 50% Beto voters was born in Texas. CA Republicans are moving to Texas.

Texas will be blue within the next two presidential elections and that is the nail in the coffin. Get ready for a split in the country or a future that looks like Germany/Euro progressive wasteland.


I fear Florida will be blue nationally within the next 2 election cycles. Too much new growth.

20 - 30 years? Who the hell knows. 8 years ago the republican party was never going to be in the whitehouse again and was on its death bed.
