We're neighbors with a time warp separating us. I lived in Stony Hill, various locations, from age five through school. In both MA and CT, there are a lot of conservatives, especially on local rights. Getting rid of Common Core resonates in both states. So do gun rights and not being over-run by the invasion of the US. That's why I say Manafort's Route 8 strategy (and tonight Fairfield) is brilliant. Add two factors....neither state is real fond of the Clintons, and neither state has gotten anything but heartache from Obama.
These two states could well be important. They might be easier to win over than are UT and CO, if the Trump team does it right.
JMHO
CT has a lot of small towns with Republican mayors, along with some small cities and even large cities...New Britan and Danbury.
I love to see what is going on in Connecticut...
