What would the 2016 election look like with 1980 demographics?

How would the results of this year's election look if the demographics of the country were the same as it was in 1980, and every demographic voted the same way they did this year? I would infer that Trump would get a higher amount of EVs due to the proportionally higher white population.

Maine couldn't really have been much more white than it is now in 1980.  The one I wonder about on this map is New Mexico.

You just can't adjust for demographics when changing years you have to adjust for patterns of electorate as well. So this is what would happen

Flip Virginia as well

As I mentioned in OP, I was assuming this hypothetical scenario if voter demographics voted exactly like they did this year, except with 1980 population demographics.

Then what you're asking is more of a mathematical equation rather than a matter of opinion.

Based on the 1980 Election day voting demographic.
Trump also wins the PV.
