Connecticut hasn’t been good territory for the GOP lately. Remember, their entire federal delegation is Democrat and lasted elected a Republican in 2006 (and he was the ultra-leftist Hillary-supporting RINO Chris Shays) and hasn’t voted GOP for President since 1988.

Rhode Island isn’t much better, not having voted GOP for President since 1984, although their Democrat Governor, who won only by a plurality, is one of the most unpopular Governors in the country, and that might help the GOP (although CT’s Governor is also held in high disregard and stole his race in 2010, but that didn’t help the CT GOP, either).

Vermont is highly unlikely for the simple fact that the state is ultraleft moonbat and out of touch with the political mainstream (as it was 80 years ago when it was hyper-GOP, voting against FDR in 1936). If by some chance it actually did vote for Trump and reported early on election night, he could declare victory nationally on their vote alone. Like CT, it hasn’t voted GOP for President since 1988. Zero was so popular there that he only lost 1% support from 2008 to 2012 and Willard got only .5% more than McQueeg, an appalling 30.97%. Dubya was the last to get more than 40%, in 2000 (he dropped to 38.8% in 2004).

Michigan also hasn’t voted GOP since 1988, with the big problem being Detroit/Wayne County & suburbs outvoting the bulk of the GOP-leaning areas. If Trump can get 35% in Wayne, he might pull it off. 1988 was the last time it broke that margin (39%). Concerning is the level of voter fraud there. Despite having 300k+ fewer residents since 1988, the voter totals INCREASED (748k in 1988 & 818k in 2012). That’s not logical, as the total votes should be in the vicinity of 630k to dovetail with the population drop.

Wisconsin is also problematic because of both Milwaukee and Madistan. Like Rhode Island, it last voted GOP for President in 1984 (it rejected Bush, Sr. for Dukakis). I wouldn’t strongly bet on it, but a Trump landslide might tip it.

Lastly Maine, we have a higher opinion of LePage than Mainers do (he was trailing Angus King in a hypothetical Senate race poll for 2018 by a wide margin). Trump appears to be ahead in the slightly more Conservative ME-2. At best, he might get ME-2 and a majority, but ME-1 is a moonbat district dominated by ultraleftist Portland. His carrying ME-1 would be akin to carrying VT. 1988 was the last time the state went GOP for President, with McQueeg and Willard only carrying 1 single rural interior county (and Dubya carrying just 2 counties in 2004 despite getting a respectable 45%).
