DiogenesLamp: "Virginia and Florida are turning "blue".
If those states go, it's over.
We will be launched into the Socialist/Crony-Capitalist/establishment system ran by people mostly in New York and Washington DC. "

Going back to 1992, Florida & Virginia both supported the losing Republican (a good test of loyalty) -- that was Pappy Bush vs. "Zippers" Clinton.
In 1996 Florida still went red for loser Dole, but Virginia blue winner Clinton, and since then Florida consistently voted the winner (Sonny Bush, Obama, Trump) while Virginia remained loyal blue Democrat throughout.

Point is, you have to go back to 1992 to see the last time both Florida and Virginia voted for a losing Republican (a good test of loyalty) and to 2004 for the last time Virginia voted for any Republican presidential candidate.

1992 election, Pappy Bush. vs Zippers Clinton:

From what I have been reading, all the demographic changes are favoring the Democrats. Florida is going to get harder to win every year, and without winning Florida, it is virtually impossible for a Republican candidate to build a winning coalition of states.

There is fear that Texas is also slowly moving towards the Democrats.
