Valid points re. AZ and GA (but, Texas? Still a million votes to climb there), but I'm sure the strategy will be to build on our new momentum in a couple of purple states and rebuild the blue wall, or at least most of it. The wall is getting older and whiter and that isn't great for us, so I understand the need to find some new states to win.
