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.
