Do not discount the number of Never-Trumpers among the Northeast Republican rank and file.
They're more like Dem-Lite than Republican.
I noticed, as per my post, that Trump’s vote total increased by that modest amount compared to 2016. However, I do not dispute your idea of Dem-Lite, because still enough of them may have likely voted Biden. I suppose the days of New Hampshire being that very reliable Republican state (even in LBJ’s blitz of 1964) goes back to when they were that good bit more rural and old stock Yankee and not as influenced by the Boston liberal Democrat culture as it probably is now.
You should see our Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker. He is a rino’s rino. Not only did he not vote for Trump but he announced it to everybody.
