Certainly, but he's saying that he is making a play for New York. Even if you are considering down-ballot races, you'd get more bang for the buck in many other states.
Umm, what? Did you mean try to not make it less blue. I'm a bit confused.
Hypothetically, every single area of NY state votes red. All of New York state doesn't have the voting power to change the state's outcome in an election if New York city votes the other way.
It's like the situation we have here in Canada. If Toronto votes one way, and the rest of the country votes another, the rest of the country doesn't have the voting power to change the outcome.
No. Since you pose as an explanation that he is trying to make it less blue, I'm asking: why on earth would you want to do that, given the fact that it is winner-takes-all.
There may be some low-hanging fruit where you can make it less blue while expending very little in terms of resources. That might be worth it. Actually seriously trying to make it less red is not.
I also said I thought he was wasting his time trying. Turning that over from the blue is going to take a lot of work. And I don't think it'll work even if he tried.
He might have a little luck since NY got a taste of the sanctuary city goodness they wanted, and it worked out as predictably as clockwork.
But it'll never be enough. I mean, you're talking about people who have a cognitive dissonance with the reality around them. Getting through that is not going to be easy.
And why would you try to make it less blue? It's winner takes all, regardless of whether they win by 1 vote or 90 billion.
He would try because down ballot races are a thing. Winning the Presidency doesn't matter without the House and Senate on your side.
