I don’t think we are ever going to win some states such as California, New York, Massachusetts, and, especially, DC (94% Democrat).
In general, it depends on how much of the state’s population is urbanized. The higher the percentage of the population that is urban, the lower the chance of moving the state to the right.
California margin was less than the estimated vote fraud and 74% are against danced cities. I believe you underestimate the number of foreigners voting. California is totally in reach.
It’s not all about winning a given state. Fraud is fraud, it corrupts the process beyond state authority and state voting habits. Look, for instance, at the support being artificially created for “national popular vote” due to likely fraudulent Democrat vote totals nationally. They all need to be cleaned out. The process needs to be made inviolable in every jurisdiction voting in national elections.
Again, it's that "defeatism" showing through.
Never say never.
There was a time not too long ago when the Deep South was considered a lock for Democrats. The hatred Southerners once had for Lincoln's party is hard to put into words. Now it's almost the opposite. Why is that? Well the Republicans never gave up trying to win down there and eventually they were able to make inroads and flip that whole region.
Just a few months ago, many people were saying that the upper Midwest was a lost cause for Republicans. Some of us were literally laughing at Trump for doing so many campaign stops in PA and MI. "Fool's gold" they cried. A Republican will NEVER win there! Forget Wisconsin, we weren't even talking about Wisconsin being a possibility for Trump. Ditto Minnesota and that came awfully close to being a Trump state as well.
Trump has now made inroads there that may quite possibly turn that entire Rust Belt region into the kind of GOP lock we currently enjoy in the Deep South. If he's even half as successful as I think he will be bringing jobs and factories back to that area, the Democrats won't have a chance to unseat him in 2020.
Yet many of us wanted him to write that area off and concentrate on New Hampshire and Colorado as a path to victory. A very narrow path that would have been.
So my point is never write any area off. Even if we just make inroads today, we set the stage for bigger gains later on. If we don't even try, we handicap ourselves unnecessarily.
