Middle America will have just as much power before and after the electoral college goes away.
Voters in the Dakotas and in Oklahoma would see ads for a general election for President for the first time that anyone can remember.

if you're talking about the message of socialism FDR and LBJ cleaned up all of those States with their socialist message.

If you're talking about the message of Trump bashing, these states were able to stomach the insults Trump and how to his opponents. Surely they can stomach some insults coming back the other way.

It is, but I think it's glossing over what the polls actually say in order to make its point. These aren't cherry-picked results from a couple of polls being exaggerated like what we saw happen with Hillary. There's little doubt that mainstream America is pissed off at Trump right now, whether he toots his own horn on his one and only success (GDP) or not, and all Democrats really need to do is find a candidate with the ability to win the primary and sway independents who might be inclined to take the devil we know. Of course, that's kind of like putting a bunch of monkeys in a room with a football and asking them not to do unspeakable things to it.
