“There are just not enough white people moving to the GOP fast enough to offset the explosive growth of minority populations. We see the result in Colorado, and we will soon be locked out of Nevada, Virginia and even North Carolina because of this.”
The Incredible Shrinking Party...
As I’ve mentioned in a few other posts, the Republican party has now become a “regional” party rather than a national one. There are some states that are “forever lost” to the Pubbies, and others “on the verge”, such as the ones you mentioned above.
Republicans will continue to have influence in D.C. for a while longer — enough to block some legislation, but not enough to again assume the reigns of power. Kind of like the Republicans fared in California for the last 15-20 years before last November’s election which all-but wiped them out.
The best hope for conservatives is to congregate themselves into the remaining red states, in enough numbers so that their strength therein will be secure, at least for the next few decades.
After that...?

Sadly, this is about how I suspect things will play out.
After that...?
I think if this scenario plays out it spells the decline of America. The country will remain, but the great experiment will be over. Asia would likely be the future - China and India in particular. Who knows, they may copy some of what America did right and continue to shed the socialist polices that kept those countries down for so long.
In many ways the best hope is that the left oversteps sooner rather than later and causes an uprising of traditional and conservative people. Maybe such a thing would capture the imagination of the greater public and change the course of history. I doubt that will happen though.
