"Mr. Trump’s best state is West Virginia, followed by New York. Eight of Mr. Trump’s 10 best congressional districts are in New York, including several on Long Island. North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and South Carolina follow."

The president is elected by the Electoral College, not popular vote.

Save for New York, all of Trump's 'strong states' are states the democratic nominee doesn't need to get to 270.

Democrats in red states abandoning the democratic nominee to vote for Trump will do nothing to get him elected – or any other republican, for that matter.
