This trend toward the blue--is going to make it increasing difficult for Republicans in the future--as you will be able to add the Midwest (Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania) to the list of SOLID BLUE states like California and New York.
Now I haven't add up the electoral votes I have just listed--but it's an incredible number to SPOT the democrats before you even start.
If the jobs are gone, the people will leave those states. The state's populations will go down and the states will lose electoral votes.
Because you know how well the already blue state of Michigan is doing.
Well I have been hearing about manufacturing jobs leaving the midwest for years (hence the name Rustbelt). That is life...
