Have a corrupt Democratic opponent and emphasize your moderation on economic issues.   Take a stance against gun control as well and focus on high Native American and Missoula/Bozeman turnout

New Hampshire might be the worst swing state for you ideologically.  Your best shot might be to run as a "polite Trump" to try to connect with the rural parts of the state without offending the exurbs.

1. Stay out of trouble.
2. Do not campaign on and avoid stating most of your policy positions except for immigration in Florida.

Adopts a libertarian-centric platform to increase rural area gain and simply stay out of trouble for the rest of the campaign to avoid more suburban voters from voting against them.

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.

Center your campaign on pragmatism and middle-of-the-road policies, while highlighting what progressive views you hold

Have a Trumpish opponent with a major scandal, and focus on your views on immigration and moderate on the economy...jack up turnout in heavily Hispanic areas + white upper-middle class parts.

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.

Campaign heavily in Duval, Polk, Hillsborough, and Pinellas counties, while also reaching out to Hispanics in the big 3 in SE Florida, while also having a campaign arm in the Panhandle highlighting what socially conservative views you have.

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.

Run as a populist, pro-coal Democrat and paint your opponent as being an extremist who would be terrible for workers and coal miners.

Let's just say this is against Trump to make this easier.

Hope for a McMullin third party run and run up the score in Salt Lake City and aim for winning Provo, highlighting your more centrist views and highlighting Trump's immorality.

Tamp down Democratic margins in Multonamah and Lane Counties and get 70-80% margins across the rural parts of the state.

Don't offend black voters and bring out high turnout against a weak Republican.

Or, run in a field with many Republicans and you and a Democrat, then emphasize your fiscally moderate positions and win the runoff against the Democrat.
