What is more likely? New York being Red or Texas being Blue in 2020?

I am going with New York being more likely. I am not saying either will happen, but I see a Trump win in New York way more likely than a Biden win in Texas.

Texas goes blue long before NY goes red.

As much as NYC is a shite show right now, those idiots will still vote Biden...

Neither is going to happen, but Texas voting Democratic is infinitely times 1000 more likely than NY giving it’s EV’s to Donald Trump.

New York won't be blue for decades.

Texas within a decade.

There's just more infrastructure work being done in Texas about it.

I would love to see New York go red but I doubt it. Liberals are notoriously stupid people and even as their homes are burning down all around them they will still vote for the people who ignited the fire.

That being said, Texas is going dark RED in two months.

You Texas clowns need to get off it. Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania all went Red last election. There is just as good a chance that several of those states go permanently red before Texas goes blue. Demographics do shift.

These discussions always seem to ignore the shift in party ideologies more than they do "demographics." Are we supposed to pretend "Blue" doesn't keep shifting more and more outright socialist as they've done the past decade or so?

Are there more California soy-people attracted to Texas, or more rich democrats fleeing what they voted for in NY?

Probably more attracted to Texas.


So... Texas.

I don't think it's a forgone conclusion Texas goes blue anytime soon.

GOP simply has to compete harder and present palatable ideas to Texas voters.

In this regard the dems may be their own worst enemy.

NY has an odd history. After Dinkins crime ridden spree as mayor, NYC elected Giuliani. NYC is in worse shape and more plagued under comrade de Blasio than it was under Dinkins.

Upper State NY is old American. Many people there have roots in the American Revolution and are proud conservatives in that American libertarian tradition.

Long Island can lean either way, but I think the NYC riots and looting are going to have an significant effect. A lot of the people who fled NYC have gone to Long Island and surrounding commuter counties.

I think there is a 40% chance that NY will send a message to the Marxist dems with a middle finger.

Texas will go blue just as soon as Texans are willing to give up their guns and oil wells.

Texas going blue is more likely but extremely unlikely.

Biden leads Trump by almost 30% in New York.

A better question would be Texas blue or Minnesota red.

Scary Hypothetical!!!!!!!!



Neither is very likely, but I think Texas is SLIGHTLY closer to being "in play" than New York ... in the sense that a 5'3" guy is SLIGHTLY more likely to play in the NBA than a 5'2" guy.

Optimism knows no boundaries, however, reality is very sobering.
