I don't quite understand -why- ND suddenly moved significantly to the right of MT in 2016.
If you look at electoral maps for most of the last 30 years or so, ND tended to vote about 5-6 points to the right of MT, including 2012 (Romney won ND by 20 and MT by 14). But then in 2016, ND was 16 points to the right of MT (Trump won ND by 36 and MT by 20).
What is the difference between these states that created this sudden rift?
I get the oil argument, but the GOP has clearly been the pro-oil party at least since GWB.
