The problem with that theory is that Trump is solidifying Ohio and Florida. He’s going to go to Ohio and say I took on the Chinese when it comes to trade ( a huge thing for them) and he’s going to go to Florida and go white nationalism again ( which just worked for Desantis).
Yet we have dummies in my other thread insisting we should waste valueable resources on winning Southern states that rarely elects Dems instead of putting all our funding into winning these key states. And we wonder why Republicans rule the government.
Please look:
The last two Democratic presidents won 4 Southern states and 3 Southern states respectively, and not even the same ones. Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, one vote in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida have ALL changed hands at some point in the last 20 years.
Claiming that some state is "off limits" for future elections is dumb if all your're looking at is recent election results with no context. Florida frequently falls into Dem hands and just gave over a million people with felonies the vote back who had previously been disenfranchised. Texas and Georgia just came within 2% of going to Dems and both of them have been becoming MORE liberal with MORE liberal demographics over the last few years, and will continue to do so. Virginia went from a sure-thing for red to damn near a sure-thing for Blue in just four elections. And North Carolina is definitely in play now.
Meanwhile, all sorts of states that used to be in play for Blue, like West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennesse, Arkansas, and Lousiana are not realistic options anymore most of the time. Indiana, Missouri, and Arizona look way tougher too. Iowa harder than it used to be as well.
