That does not seem to be a thing any more. If a state is red, they will not go for their own blue candidate. Party above state pride.

What red state would go for a Democrat from their own state? Texas? Who might it be that could cause that upset?

Swing states might be more likely. Ohio? Michigan, etc., who could possibly do that?
