I stand with John Locke.
I would say the last state to go from blue to red was West Virginia in 2000 which helped put Texas Gov. George W. Bush in the presidency.
Problem is some red states are going red to blue. Florida, Colorado, New Mexico and Virginia.
Over time our national electorate has become more liberal. Latinos now outnumber blacks and are the largest minority. If they become reliably democrat it's basically over for the Republican party nationally. The states might still elect Republicans but basically the Republican Party is a dinosaur.
Within one generation we'll lose the Second Amendment to activist extremist democrat supreme court justices like ginsberg, kagan, breyer, sotomayor. One pro gun justice leaves and is replaced by an obama or clinton and goodbye gun rights.
Vote for a democrat nationally for president is a vote to eliminate your Second Amendment.
Reagan. Find your Reagan. Or give up. Pick one.
