There are sort of two ways of answering this - If you just gave everyone in Switzerland a vote in the USA, as things are, it would be 90% Dem.
If you assume that it was integrated into US political culture and soceity, but that people here otherwise still had the same political outlook then it might have historically been a Republican leaning swing state, but these days would be safe Democrat and trending leftwards rapidly. It's too international, urban, well educated and environmentalist for the Republicans and attitudes have changed significantly in recent years. Even beyond that, Trump's personality is a particularly bad fit with Swiss culture as, um, discretion is highly values.
You might still find Republicans winning in Ticino, Ostschweiz and primitive Switzerland. Depending on how far you want to stretch your imagination
