Delaware was a Republican state for quite some time, but it can be counted as a Democrat one now, despite some of the legislative shifts you cited. For a time, the GOP was overrepresented in the State House, which controlled it uninterrupted from 1985 until 2009, which the Dems finally managed to break with Zero’s election in 2008, while conversely the Dems have been overrepresented in their State Senate for years, which has not elected a GOP majority since 1970 (despite now being down a seat).

Here are some sobering points regarding the state:

#1, No Republican has been elected Governor since 1988.

#2, No Republican has won the Senate seat held by Tom Carper since 1994.

No Republican has won the Senate seat held by Chris Coons since 1966.

#3, No Republican has won the House seat since 2008 (and that by the left-wing RINO Mike Castle)

#4, No Republican has carried Delaware for President (because of New Castle County) since 1988.

The House seat was open last year, the rats nominated a Black Chick, and to my dismay we went with a ....4th? 5th? tier (we should define the tiers) no body candidate. No one else ran, I don't think the guy spent a dime. Pathetic DE GOP, pathetic.

Dude ended up getting less than a point less than Trump got in the state. I don't know much closer someone viable could have gotten but by God they didn't even freaking try.

The Gov candidate seemed decent but Carney blew him out.

It's not quite Vermont but it may as well be. Ughhhh. Actually Vermont is a lot more competitive when it comes to Governor. That combo of lib suburbanites and Blacks in New Castle county is nasty.

Tiny state legislatures can be frustrating.

Small libs states are just the pits, I wish we could drop some of our millions of wasted Cali votes in those bastards. Someone needs to start a migration program. I'd be willing to collect maple syrup and freeze my hiney off for the cause, of course I'd rather go to Hawaii.
