Which states do you think your favorite will pick up? Why? [View all]

I don't think I've seen this approach posted yet, and I'm of the opinion that it is the MOST important discussion to have. Popularity? We saw what that got Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Al Gore in 2000 (well that plus the court stolen Florida). I don't want a most popular loser again (I'm talking election, not candidates. Neither Hillary nor Al were losers as people, and I'd never insinuate such). I want a candidate that can make enough of that red turn blue to get OUR candidate to 270.

So, simply put, what red colored states will YOUR choice flip to blue? How and why? I'll give my own assessment separately.
