Shifting Colors in Suburbia

Kristen Soltis Anderson points out that the election results were not just a matter of red areas getting redder while blue areas got bluer:

The suburbs of Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City and Salt Lake all sent Republicans packing and voted like they had politically more in common with the suburbs of Chicago, Denver, and Washington than with the sea of red that surrounds them in their states. . . .

Many light-red districts became light-blue districts.

At Bloomberg Opinion, I weigh in on the growing debate about whether Republicans should try to win back suburban moderates or concentrate on converting Obama-Trump voters into full-fledged Republicans.
