We're a pretty diverse state (VA), that was pretty deep red not too long ago. Look how much Obama, Tea Party Candidates, and then Trump changed us:
As recently as 2010, the republicans held all levels of state government, then they kept putting Tea Party candidates into races they couldn't win, and now the Democrats hold all 3 levels, have 2 Democrat senators and are a safe +10 in presidential elections.
Continually putting up crazy Republicans erodes the party's support outside the deep red counties and states.
