MN is clearly not part of any wall. The rest seem about right, though if Trump governs moderately he could flip some of the northeastern ones.

I think that there really is a (smaller) blue wall, but it consists of Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington state, Minnesota, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.

What do you guys think?


There is a smaller blue wall, but it does not include Minnesota, Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island.


I think CT and DE are solid D in presidential elections. RI and NJ I think would be winnable for a popular Trump.

I can't imagine him flipping any states in the northeast aside from Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Maine.

NJ, RI and perhaps DE are flippable if he does well (wins by an Obama 2008 margin). Some have argued CT, but I'm not as sure on that one.

Trump was poorly received in the west in general, therefore the west coast states are the least likely blue ones to flip for him.
