What Did LePage Do That Moody Didn't?

I was looking over ME-Gov 2014 numbers versus 2018 and noticed a few interesting things. First, only about 19,000 more votes were cast than in 2014, and Hayes only received about 3-4% less than Cutler did. This means that there are plenty of LePage/Mills voters, especially in places like Waldo, Lincoln, Hancock, York, Franklin, and Kennebec, among others.

So, what did Paul LePage do that Shawn Moody didn't from a strategic perspective? Or was it just Maine's elastic, anti-White House party nature?

To those pointing the finger at Cutler, I will repeat that Hayes only performed 4% worse than Cutler. Give that percentage to Michaud and he still loses.
