What sticks out to me are the votes given for each party in the 2016 Georgia Primaries:
Democrat: 765,366
Republican: 1,295,964
There are many more republicans in the state. The issue is really all about a strong turnout. Sadly, there has to be some real excitement in order to energize the good guys.
Karen Handel willing GA-06 is a good sign.
Immigrants, Yankees, and blacks migrating back from the North.
Yep. I was shocked to learn Georgia is 10% Hispanic. It won’t be long now. The entire atlantic seaboard from NC to FL is in danger of turning blue, IMO.
While the Atlanta metro will pull the Party lever, the rest of the state will not.
Savannah, too. That place is getting more “cosmopolitan” all the time. New jobs and new build housing changes an area very rapidly these days.
2016, the rest of Michigan beat Detroit. It takes a lot, but it’s possible. Just have to convince the resistant idiots to actually go and vote in greater numbers than vote fraud can produce.
And this is why the #1 goal of Democrats is to get blacks all wee wee’d up for 2020 by painting Trump as a racist. If there is a strong black turnout in the “rust belt” it will be much tougher for POTUS to win no matter how well the economy is doing.
Agree. I've been saying that for years. Liberals fleeing NY, NJ, etc have just about ruined Florida and haven't helped GA either. We have more than enough home grown a$$hole liberals without importing any.

Let’s stop letting them use the Red/Blue stuff
Before Algore the libs were always associated with commie red.
Call it what it is.
We need to stop chain migration from NY, NJ, MD, etc. into the south.
LOL! Jimmie Carter’s grandson we’re going to flip Georgia with Doug Bernardards granddaughter. Then in Atlanta we had a Ron Johnson aid who was going to beat Handel. Well here we are again. Ok Charlie Brown, I’ll hold the football.
The Yankees I know are all conservatives who came here to be with like minded folk
The fact that Handlel won the sixth suggests that the dems are not in as good a shape as they like to pretend
Sam Nunns daughter couldn’t win and that says a lot
Plus South Georgia is less dem than ever
“Were it not for ~1,000 “magic ballots” arriving late-night from DeKalb county, Atlanta might have had a fairly light-blue mayor. Instead, ATL got Bottoms and all her politics.”
There was no way a white was going to become mayor of ATL. No way.
So what states are likely remain conservative in the US?
South Carolina is experiencing the same slow but steady demographic shift. Look for Mick Mulvaney’s old congressional seat (Rock Hill) to be competitive for the Democrats as Charlotte spills over the border.
As the marijuana preaching and popularity continues to expand, all states will turn blue.
Maybe Mississippi and Wyoming. As long as least 50% of the population depends on entitlements, the steady march towards socialism will be hard to defeat.
Yea GA is turning blue... and Hillary is winning it
Rolling eyes.
Atlanta is blue.. the rest of the state? Not a chance.
Trump performing on the economy actually has him at higher support among blacks than any national republicans in generations.
If he can leverage that in the 18 elections a lot of surprises are coming
If we let the Democrats and Bush League Republicans have another amnesty the whole country turns blue, just before it expires.
Yeh uh no! :-)
Rush says, and he’s right, that you can’t beat Santa Clause and the dims know that.
