You mean all the places in the country that are losing population, representation in the House of Representatives, and in the Electoral College?
Then by all means, lock the GOP out of those areas for the next couple of decades.
Stagnation itself will have the remaining people there looking for an alternative. The only thing that alternative has to do is ask the question, "Are you better off today than you were when the Democrats took over here?"

You’re operating under an old set of assumptions.
What you said above may have worked in times past, according to conventional wisdom. But the old “conventional wisdom” don’t work no mo’. The foundations upon which that wisdom was previously based, are now shifting and changing beneath us. The old rules simply don’t apply any more.
If you go into the blue states, or inner cities, and ask the question you posed above, I’m wondering if most of the “minority-po’” folks will actually reply, “YES”, they ARE “better off” with Obama as president.
Free iPhones, almost unlimited “unemployment” benefits, expanding free-housing, free this, free that.
They don’t care about “freedom”, my FRiend — only “what’s free”.
And they’re definitely getting more of that under the ‘rats….
Yeah, those areas and states may be losing population (and representation) but who are the people who are leaving and where are they going?
A heck of a lot of them are Blue State Liberals who are taking their belief system along with them when they move to Red States. Virginia is a great example, although I’d wager that between an influx of residents from Blue States and Hispanic immigrants ( either natz’d citizens or anchor babies who reach voting age) Texas is a Purple state in 10 years and a blue state in 20.
