We'll see if Republicans can dig themselves out of the hole. But @JoeNBC is right on the central point: the 2020 electoral college map looks exactly the way you would expect based on demography: GA, NC, & AZ as the new bluish states; OH & TX next. FL the exception due to Cubans. https://twitter.com/JoeNBC/status/1326836543944843265
To those who roll their eyes at TX ever going blue: In 2000, GWB won Texas by 21%. 2004, 23%. 2008, McCain won TX by 12%. 2012, Romney by 16%. In 2016, Trump won it by 9%. In 2020, he won it by only 5%. We are only a couple cycles away, unless something changes.
The point of talking about demographics is not to say that Republicans are doomed no matter what. It is to say that Republicans are doomed if they don't do a better job of appealing to non-white voters. And by "better" I mean meaningfully better than Trump did this month.
