The GOP's gerrymandering, one word; Independents [View all]
The GOP can't gerrymander, even in the deep red South, with only Republican registered voters. There are not enough of them to spread to all the new districts to win them.
They must rely on traditionally Republican voting Independents.
The problem they may face is Trump's approval among independents has plummeted to 25%. A big swing in Independents for the Democrats in districts that now have a diluted GOP vote could swing this election.
All speculative, but a hopeful perspective.
