Could Trump put Connecticut and Rhode Island in play in November?

I think he'd better concentrate on keeping the Crimson firewall in Utah intact before he even toys with the notion of competing in sapphire blue Rhode Island and Connecticut.

I've always felt that RI should be a lot more R than it is.  This isn't the year, though.  And Clinton is a perfect fit for CT in a general against Trump.

Why? New England whites are not the same as Alabama whites and New England Catholics are not as pro-life as "pro-lifers" elsewhere. Scituate appears to be the only solidly Republican town there and it's still not that Republican as you would find in other predominantly white small towns.

Say Trump gets 81 percent of the white vote without a degree, that results in a 390-148 map.

That shifts WA, OR, NV, CO, MN, IA, WI, MI, OH, PA, FL, VA and IL.

That also flips Maine and New Hampshire.

Safely put it, Trump ain't winning CT or RI.

That scenario will never happen but yes, my point exactly: Connecticut and Rhode Island are too blue. I could see Massachusetts going red before Rhode Island. Rhode Island would probably be #3 on my list of bluest states, right after DC and Vermont, respectively.
