Honestly, it's things like this that really make me question whether this was simply a renewal of the 6th Party system or a realignment. Maybe need to do a thread to discuss this.

He also won all but one town on the northern Vermont border, and nearly locked Clinton out of non-coastal Maine.

I hope none of this is indicative of a long-term trend.

Given the shift occurred across all of New England, the Midwest and other areas, we're either looking at a Realignment here or the 6th Party System just got renewed hard.

True but Trump didn't just win Essex county, VT he won it by 18%! He also came within 0.3% of winning Orleans County, 3.1% of winning Franklin County, 4.2% of winning Rutland County and 7% of winning Caledonia County. His coattails even caused Pat Leahy to lose Essex County in the Senate race too. This is pretty shocking whichever way you cut it.

Okay, starting to become convinced this may have been a realignment.
