The real question is can Trump win Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania again? He only won those by the skin of his teeth. Unless there is a significant turnaround, I don't see Trump winning them again. Without them, Trump could hold every other state he won and he would still be a one-term President. Democrats' support for LGBT rights will only hurt them in the South, which have no chance of going blue anyways. Here is my realistic map of what 2020 might look like.

Oh yeah, that's right. In xboxmas's universe, all 50 states are going to go Republican and the Democratic Party will cease to exist. Must be nice to live in fantasyland
I think the Democrats with their mainstream Media wing are doing well with their Demonization of Republicans, Christians, the Police, etc. But really, how bad must they be that someone like Trump beat them
That's nice, but has squat to do with each candidate's position on NAFTA.
NAFTA is what changed the Rust Belt to red.
If the DNC were smart, they would formally denounce it and never fund another pro NAFTA nominee.
I'm sorry but what did kill the Rust belt was innovation & technology especially when it came to auto makers back in the late 1970's.
Japan and Toyota building cheaper cars for less wages than in the US overseas.
Asian markets having lower manufacturing & employment costs compared to us so when I hear Trump saying he is going to return manufacturing jobs back I chuckle.
It would be great if he could but the economics for America don't pan out and you could cut all of the regulations you want and it stlll wouldn't be as competitive.
Unless you start cutting wages to compete.
The problem with NAFTA today is since it is implemented and our economy has adjusted around it, simply repealing it would likely cause a recession, at least temporarily. It could be a pretty nasty recession at that. Everybody likes the idea of getting rid of NAFTA, but no politician wants to vote to do it because they don't want to be blamed for a recession (which would kill their re-election chances).
True, that's pretty much how it is with all things that are implemented by the government, from Nafta to Obama Care, to letting Illegal Aliens stay: Dependencies are created around the new regulations and laws.

If the Dems ever become sane as they were 50 years ago, I'd consider them as an option.
Not now.
The point is that those people voted for Pro Nafta Republicans, and some over anti nafta Democrats.
