It has a relatively low level of college-educated voters and outside of Albuquerque/Santa Fe is pretty rural. Assuming that cultural depolarization continues, do you think it could vote for the GOP again within the next few decades?

It is certainly possible for Hispanos/Nuevomexicanos to shift rightward in a manner similar to how Tejanos shifted rightward recently, but this would require Republicans to actually invest significantly in this group (the recent rightward shift among Tejanos was largely in part because Republicans actually invested significantly with that group).

A wrinkle is that while NM has a very low percentage of college grads, it actually has a very high percentage of postgrads, on par with some of the most educated NE states.  So I don't think it's "destiny" is clear in a world dominated by education polarization.

Yes, but the first time around, it will not be because of generalised Hispanic trends.

Maybe as a one time thing. Imagine the GOP running someone as popular as Clinton in 1992.
