Not sure that the hinterlands of NYS share their dislike of him, if for no other reason than that they are rather removed from direct contact over the last 50 years or so.

Repubs continue to cultivate the Rube vote, even in blue states. Hell, we have large swaths of my blue state (WA) that are die-hard Repubs and voted strongly for Trump in 18. In the end, we didn't flip many of those rural counties in '18.

"Moderate" Repubs is an increasingly oxymoronic concept.
