If we stopped immigration from Mexico, the south will be red for quite a few decades.
Dixie will be red for the rest of our lives
The sun belt are where the demographic battle lines are
I thought the Sun Belt was this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Sun_belt.svg/1200px-Sun_belt.svg.png
But yeah, I could see Arizona and Texas becoming much more blue if we don't build a wall.
Eh, to me it ends at the eastern border of Texas
then the bible belt starts and so on
Best case scenario for Republicans in the Governer's elections.
Getting back to senatorial runs, apparently the Governor of Maine has flirted with a run multiple times
Paul LePage? He seems to be quite popular, and would definitely make it competitive.
Yeah, definitely, especially since King has the unique issue of the vote split since he's an (I)
Baker? You mean King, right?
lmao forgot his name
You corrected that as soon as I posted.
yeah, but in any case, that's an interesting possibility
LePage has gone back and forth on this for years now, if he decides to run, I think it'd be an easy win
I think Virginia and Maine are unappreciated battlegrounds.
Maybe not VA in my opinion, but definitely Maine
Trump was decently close to winning the state at large in 2016
Corey Stewart can drive up turnout in the rural areas and appeal to Northerners, and if Tim Kaine's creepy behavior towards children is in adds, he could pull off a win.
I certainly hope you're right
Corey's a good guy
He managed to win election in a 60-40 Dem-Rep area, and Kaine is poisoned by his Clinton run, so an upset is definitely possible.
Hey, I hope so.
New Jersey could be possible if the R's have a strong candidate. Not hoping on it, but the incumbent is scandal-ridden.
Gotta add Corey.
Alright, I'll look up the candidates and update the list
The New Jersey declared candidate list is garbage
Still, over half of people want Bob to resign, so it might be a potential upset.
Thomas Kean Jr. is a good potential one though, and apparently he's been calling out illegals even in the fucking Bush era
Let's hope he runs to make this more competitive.
Yeah, I'll put him on the list since he's the most viable
NJ somehow manages to get the worst candidates at everything
Kean Jr. is doing well in polling also
The only other potential flip is Maryland, and that's only if Chelsea Manning wins the primary.
NJ Republican party after Christie is a mess
Maybe New Mexico if the current governer runs for Senate.
she's unpopular
ouch, -20 approval
she'll lose her seat, she's pretty done in politics after she loses in 2018
