There are not 100 electoral vote shift there

not to mention this assumes everything else remains constant

with different rules in place, different campaigns would happen

Mittens would have lost just as bad

(plus HIllary45 in 2016 will win places Obama did not win, and everything would shift, therefore it is impossible for the scenerio to happen.)

No matter which was they try it, they would lose, and will continue to lose.

BTW, if the above happened anyhow what makes repubs think that places like Texas wouldn't shift either?

plus what makes them think the courts would allow it?

They bet the world that Roberts would overturn the healthcare, and lost big time.
