The people in this thread who have gotten the closest to understanding why Trump over-performed in RI have only scratched the surface. You guys are right that RI has a lot of non-college whites compared to other New England states, but Trump also did better there because a similar dynamic to what happened in the Midwest occurred there: Hillary Clinton was the worst fit for it as a Democratic nominee since Dukakis/Mondale. Bernie Sanders winning big in the primary there couldn't have helped Clinton either.
