What do you mean "can never win". I hate this kind of defeatism. That's half the problem in my opinion. How many times did people here say during the campaign that Pennsylvania was "fool's gold" and that a Republican could never win there?
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.
Exactly! If you deport 3 million illegals from Los Angeles, how does that change the election dynamics next time? Not in a bad way!
