The State of New Hampshire

[Gabagool102]

Donald J. Trump lost the state by less than 3,000 votes. He campaigned in the state, but not as much as he did in FL, PA and NC obviously because there is only 4 EV. Is there a chance that the 'Don' will get a YUGE win in NH in 2020?

The problem is that New Hampshire is the electoral equivalent of Bir Tawil: it only mattered in the highly improbable scenario that Nevada voted Republican but Colorado and the infamous WI/PA/MI triad voted Democratic.

If the Democrats nominate someone like Harris, Castro or Booker.. sure, he could win it. With Sanders or Warren though? No chance.

Maine is a better bet than NH to vote Republican anyway.

Well, at least you're improving.  You no longer see NH as a solid blue state apart from 1984-style landslides.

(BTW, I agree with you in principle, ESPECIALLY if the nominee is The Bern.)

Yea, NH is Safe D with Bernie.

One interesting fact is New Hampshire has trended R for three elections now.

It seems like the Democratic base is slowly shifting from the rural northern/western parts of the state down to the urban centers in the south/southeast.     

NH really isn't the kind of state you can say is trending quickly to either party.   There are growing/shrinking voter groups for both parties.    I think it will stay competitive for the forseeable future.

Well, Clinton doing so poorly in NH was by far the most shocking election result for me. The state was basically tailor-made for her and I thought she was more popular among NH females. She should have won NH by 10 points or more. Climbing Maggie also underperformed significantly.

I honestly think if the Pussy Tapes weren't released, Trump and Ayotte would have won NH.

NH is socially still moderate/conservative.  The Trump quotes about women may have hurt him there just enough to make a difference.

Tbf, he was only being ironic to  with the people who thought it was a pure swing state like in 2000 again.

New Hampshire was only decided by a 0.37% margin for Clinton. It was never a safe state and certainly is not now. W Bush won it in 2000, and Trump could easily win, or lose, it in 2020.
