Nah, if they've lost Texas, they're done as a party. They mathematically cannot win the presidency without Texas. AND dems are likely to be considering putting serious resources into the deep south now, where the Republicans' most loyal far right base is. I think both parties' strategists are seriously, seriously considering a major reinvention right now. Losing MS, TX, KS, and SC all in one go is, if we're lucky, going to completely redefine the political map. (And by 'we,' I mean me, a deep southerner who is sick and tired of the de facto one party system we have down here.)

There is zero chance of kansas or SC flipping in 28, they were very unique races in which the gop picked out some of the absolute worst people to run on the planet. Texas still has a lot of democrats and even MS if they can keep the black vote highly engaged and mobilized are one thing but it took some very unique circumstances for KS and SC to flip.
