By 2020, the demographic problem for republicans grows even deeper .. and many red, formerly republican states will become more diverse .. some becoming minority-majority.
This is well-known, and why this election is more crucial for republicans then democrats.

Is Trump destroying the GOP? This new poll will terrify Republicans
Not long after Donald Trump delivered his acceptance speech at the festival of rage, hate, and megalomania otherwise known as the GOP convention, leading Never Trump conservatives despaired that the GOP’s nomination of Trump could cost the party a generation of young voters.

That could shape the political affiliations of the largest generation in American history for years to follow.
And here is what the new poll finds in terms of which party young voters are now identifying with:
In the new survey,
half of those under 35 say they identify with or lean toward the Democrats; just 20% identify with or lean toward the Republicans. Seventeen percent are independents, and another 12% either identify with another party or don’t know

Republicans are correct .. if they lose this election .. and they already have .. the Republican Party is in serious trouble and not positioned to win the White House in 2020 either.
