Funny, funny, until eventually you start losing formerly democratic counties in swing states, then I will really laugh.
Those formerly Democratic counties in swing states that are being lost are almost all rural and insignificant, and in most cases the Democrats can make up for this by urban/suburban areas, which are much more populous, swinging to the left.
That's no excuse.
That's as ridiculous as saying that Republicans have no excuse in losing DuPage County, IL; Orange County, CA; Fort Bend County, TX; or Cobb & Gwinnett Counties, GA. Next time, Riley County, KS--which has literally never voted Democratic in a presidential election before--could easily flip. Voting patterns shift.
