2016 Trump was very good at wooing Northeastern working class whites in a way no Republican since Nixon was able to do. (2020 Trump has been terrible at that and will not do as well with them.)

Hillary was a poor cultural fit for New England. The lunchpail guys in the old mill towns saw her as a cold elitist. The "good government" progressives who often fuel independent political campaigns saw her as a corrupt, establishment hack.

And Bernie got something like 6% of the vote in Vermont as a write-in candidate.
