Its funny when there is some negative post about red states its always about Alabama and Mississippi. Yes there is a lot of deep rooted poverty in those areas and they are easy targets for the left.
However Forbes just came out with the 25 fastest growing cities and the list is dominated by red and deep red states led by Boise, Idaho.
Outside of Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas and Colorado Springs (A red city in a blue state) the future appears to be brightest in GOP states.
The one blue state in the SW region surrounded by Texas, Arizona and Utah and not on the list is New Mexico, mired in the same poverty that places like Alabama and Mississippi also deal with.
Analysis using red and blue state delineations are invariably partisan garbage.
There is so much wrong here I could probably teach a class on statistical abuse and bad analytics just off that one post.
-Excluding data that doesn't fit premise
-Not considering variables other than "red" or "blue" state
etc. etc. etc.
Sorry I offended your liberal ideals. Vast majority of the cities listed are in red states. You can try to spin it anyway you want because you don't like that obvious fact but it does not change what it is.
My bigger point which was subtle and something you obviously missed is migration to red states will have future impacts on the EC as well as the house as long as those states stay red.

which is the key part of your argument.
Typically it seems as cities grow they turn blue... look at the growing cities in Texas.
Boise is not more blue than red. Come on. It is a college town which pushes things a little more blue.
Its all relative. Trump won Ada county by double digits and statewide 2 - 1. Idaho is one of the most conservative states in the country. In the same ballpark as Oklahoma and Mississippi.
