This talk of Nevada becoming a solid Dem state is completely overblown, ditto for Virginia.
Yes, Democrats are slightly favored in the Presidential race. But 2 election cycles is not the end of the world, and I think Democrats maxed out the Hispanic vote last year. It really can't get much worse unless Republicans completely lose it(and I mean completely, like deport all Hispanics. 2012 was just "mostly crazy").
The Republican Party can honestly make up a lot of ground in 2016 when Obama's not on the ballot and depending on his popularity. As has been said repeatedly: Obama has very strong personal appeal with Hispanics, youth, Asians, upper-class, etc. that many Dems cannot repeat. How the Republicans play their hand the next 3 years will determine their future.
I went with staying competitive, but yes 2016 will decided. I think 2016 may see a Republican swing and less racial polarization.
But here's what I don't get: Wisconsin voted more D than Nevada, but everyone seems to think Wisconsin was/still is a swing state. Why the inconsistency?
The only Democratic party that can get White people voting for it is a near omnipotent one.
