re: Trump in New Jersey... When's the last time a GOP nominee was going all out in DEM areas?

I think Minnesota is a fine play because it borders other swing Midwestern states. Going to Virginia, if a poll is really showing something, is fine with NC being aside it. Going to Washington state is a waste of time and energy. And honestly, if WA is close, then the Republicans would win in a largest EC landslide since 1988.
