The last Republican to win in Delaware was Senator Roth in 1994. He lost in 2000 to Tom Carper. At the presidential level, Bush won the state in 1988. In both victories, all three counties were won by the Republican. Despite winning two of three counties in 1992, 2000, 2004, and 2016, Republicans lost New Castle County by double digits and thus failed to carry the state. It appears any path to victory for the GOP would include winning or at least vastly narrowing the Democrat margin in New Castle, where 60 percent of Delawareans reside. Given the current political climate, I don't think Delaware will be obtainable in the near future.
