Extremely large margins of victory in the northern Alaskan boroughs. You use your Left Libertarianism to play well with many white votes and off the backs of urban and minority voters (which make up like 35% of the population) you are able to win Anchorage and Fairbanks and are able to push over a slim plurality or bare majority

Big margins and turnout in the Black majority areas in the Northeast and South Central regions (this could probably be done with a black VP) combined with huge turnout and margins in Wake County and Mecklenburg county's which are very possible combined with and overall improved white performance throughout the state due to a Left-Populist campaign and you could get anywhere from 49-53%.

Win Boise in a landslide at least over 55%. Win Latah big and at least 60% in you want a chance. Hold Blaine county by at least over 65% and probably 70% and win Bancock County by at least 5-10% and hold Teton county. Then improve in al of the rural areas and then maybe you could win though it's unlikely. You'd probably also need a running mate from Idaho or Utah who is Mormon to get some of the Mormon vote and all in all run a populist campaign and taking a strong position of social libertarrism and anti-war opinions. Also try to talk positive on oil due to the large oil industry there and also try to emphasis a rural agricultural populism due to the agriculture that dominate the state. That reminds you could do better if your facing a republican incumbent with the country in a war that is unpopular. But the most important way to have a chance is to campaign hard there which would be worthless since it doesn't have much electoral votes

Win the Rural areas in Trump like blowouts or more and hold and continue Trumps republican push in the Iron Range and try not to be crushed in the outer suburban countys to edge out a victory. If you want a more tradition republican path, then hold Bush like margins in the Rural areas while losing the Iron Range though expanding the Suburbs to win narrowly.

Since you didn't list any: West Virginia

Reclaim the Southern Coal Country with a Economically Progressive message while ditching/moderating on any culture war's issues. Also win Kanawha County overwhelmingly (55-60%) and try not to get crushed in the rest of the state (At least stick to Gore levels in the North). Meanwhile run against a Jeb! Bush type candidate or a Libertarian who isn't socially conservative and try to portray that person as a elitist.

limit margins for dem in Connecticut river valley to 55%, win Hillsborough by 5

Since you didn't tell of any state: Texas



Basically this. Win massive margins in the poorer Hispanic Rio Grande as always while getting over 70% in Tarrant, over 60% in Harris, over 65% in Dallas, while winning the surrounding county's and county's that where closer in 2012-2016.

Basically this though you probably would do better with the minority populations (specifically Blacks) so it would be easier.

Pretend like your a Social-Conservative, or at least hide your views effectively. Then try to run some form of Pro-Coal platform along with a populist campaign focused on economic concerns.

Run up Trump like margins in the rural county's while not being as "gaffe prone" as Trump. Campaign heavily in the state, and in the end win Washoe by around 5%. By this time, the margin should be lowered too in Clark, giving you the state.

Win in any and all areas with significant population. Your strategy would run through much the similar path as Barack Obama in 2008 except with you doing even better in rural country or flipping Yellowstone.
