I had this idea of an interesting, unusual scenario of a Republican presidential candidate winning the state of New York. I know the last time it happened was Reagan in '84 but what would be a realistic scenario of having Republican winning N.Y. in more recent presidential elections starting from 2000, '04, '08, etc? NY is pretty important because of it's big number of electors and not to mention the name which is literally "NEW YORK", which people already get the idea of the most influential, financial, important city in the WORLD that pretty much make this alternate election exciting compared to our real world where we're pretty much stuck with the boring prediction like certain states voting for same party every time. So what could a realistic scenario be for GOP candidate winning NY with modern politics and demographics from 2000 without any 3rd party splitting votes?
