I think there is a different dynamic this time. She won't pick up the red states except maybe NM -- AR hates her. I think Rudy puts some of the blue states that barely went Dem in play. Given a choice between Ms. Clinton and Rudy, red states will stay red. I have two Dems on my straight that have said if she wins the nomination, they are registering Republican and so are their six children and their kids. They are 72 and 70 years old and it is no more Clinton in the WH.
NY hasn't been red in years so it is never taken into the calculations. If you are from TX and cannot win TX as a Republican you are in trouble. Elections have totally changed from the past before the Internet IMO.
