Here's an example of a decent Bryan win using what I've come to find is a pretty effective strategy. Sometimes I'll also get Wisconsin, and I think I got New York once or twice before too, and on the other hand, sometimes I lose Maryland and one or two other Midwest states but still win handily. This is going with a lot of the stuff said here. generally going moderate, I've found that there's generally little need to visit the west coast and that even without going there, it should be possible to usually win those states by around 5%.
And in a different direction, here's a McKinley win with a kind of interesting looking map (not legit tho)
