I would be concerned if that loud voice was focused and reasonable...
Then you assume the audience for that voice is focused and reasonable; quite the contrary it is more likely the audience is predisposed.
There was no reason for your EC lecture, the EC issue was not overlooked in my post. But since you mention it, what possible reason do you have for thinking the left will contain itself to highly populated areas?
I referred to the popular vote since the counties and boroughs you refer to are important energy centers that are expanding beyond their borders. See, perhaps for a most dramatic example, California. I argue that what is happening in CA can happen at the national level in the absence of a coordinated political effort.
As to other questions, conservatives are winning...
After decades of the Clinton, Bush and Obama terms, with isolated instances, it appears otherwise. You can only argue that if you overlook the progress the left has made. Simple reality check: of the D's and R's which party strikes you as being the most effective over the past several decades?
They are already in their final assault leading to their final throes. If you believe the threat will die out on its own or through the efforts of Trump alone we will continue to disagree.
Have a nice weekend.

Really?
Do you have data to show that the leftist voters in those counties are expanding faster into other counties than republican and independent voters?
Have you tracked the spiraling down in numbers of the democrat party since 2008?
Let’s see your data sources. I am sure they must be interesting.
Seriously, if your data sources are indicating that voters of the major urban centers are flowing out to the countryside in a bid to shift the EC to democrats, that would be very valuable information that political scientists everywhere would relish.
Seriously again, if you have data showing democrat party can lockdown the EC by spreading voters out, you should show it to some democrat honchos who just might give you a gig. Problem is, they’re broke, so there might not be any compensation. But hey, they might get you some discounts on street drugs which you can resell for profit.

The EC ‘lecture’ wasn’t so much for you as your true angle was easy to spot in a few of your sentences. The EC info was for viewers.
