New York may be a "blue state," but that's the more populated areas downstate. The cities tend to be Democratic, but it's a pretty rural state and those areas vote R. We had a Republican congressman for as long as I can remember until Kirsten Gillibrand won in 2006. There were elections when the Democrats didn't even bother to run a candidate. President Clinton came here to campaign for her. I must have mentioned that before. It was quite exciting to actually see him in person! 
And aren't parts of Texas liberal, too? I know we have quite a few Texans on DU. And even though my district may have reverted to Republican representation, I don't know anyone who can stand the current Rep, let alone Trump. There's yet another protest scheduled next week to organize against her. She not only refuses to hold town halls, but she won't make her schedule public until after the fact, in case her angry constituents might show up...
