I think a Republican could win Rhode Island under the right circumstances. I drive through the state once or twice a week for work, there are certain parts of Kent County that remind me of Indiana. Trump actually almost won Warwick, the city with the second most votes after Providence.
There are a lot of inroads that Republicans can make on the western side of the state, as the eastern side is usually Democratic. In terms of the three counties, if they can only lose Providence County by 15, win Kent County by 5 or 6, and break even or only lose Washington County by 2 or 3 then they'd be very close to winning the state.
I went to school there for 3 years. It's typically liberal but both Clinton and Trump got a smaller percent of the vote than they did in Connecticut (Rhode Island had almost 7% voting third party.)
