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.

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.

Got it, but that may help explain why our candidate this time appealed so strongly to working Americans of all ethnicities.
If he can win them, and hold them, then demographics will not be the long-term problem you suppose.

With prosperity comes employment, with employment comes self-respect, self-reliance & family values.
With those comes a willingness to listen to Republican ideas on how to extend & increase prosperity, and less attention to Democrat identity victimhood nostrums.

That's why Democrats so adamantly oppose prosperity -- with real prosperity who needs or wants Democrats?
But like Reagan with the old Soviets, our president has a new idea about how to deal with Democrats: we win, they lose.

I love it.
