> It didn’t get mentioned in the article but a huge reason of this over the last 10 years is just the number of people in blue states moving to red states.

Huge reason for what? Income growth is happening in blue districts not red.

> It is no question that trump is winning again.

Last I checked he's getting crushed in polls by almost every major dem candidate.

He got crushed in the polls in 2016. He also lost the popular vote. But he could once again easily win the electoral vote and lose the popular vote.

Due to more gerrymandering I believe he could lose by up to 8 million or so votes and still win because of the electoral college. It's pretty depressing when you think about it.

Gerrymandering doesn’t have anything to do with the presidential elections. Gerrymandering refers to state legislations drawing districts to have an advantage in state and house elections. Electoral college votes are strictly determined by the census.
