    Jeet Heer Retweeted Tyler Dinucci!!

    Fairfield County, which has the wealthiest suburb in Connecticut, is now the state's Democratic stronghold.https://twitter.com/TylerDinucci/status/1331417050074398721 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Tyler Dinucci!! @TylerDinucci
    the entire article was completely, absolutely incorrect. CT-4 is the Fairfield County-based district and is now the bluest district in the state (even more than my home district, the Hartford-based CT-1!). https://twitter.com/SenhorRaposa/status/1331414670209654785 …

        Fairfield County includes Bridgeport, and it’s the “bluest district” by half a percentage pt. So this is all a little overstated.

        Yes, but Darien used to be the most Republican town in the country, and now Trump does better, percentage-wise, in Waterbury.

        Across the board too the majority of gains in the state house came from wealthy suburbs in Fairfield county

        The point of the article wasn’t that Farfield was going red, it was that the Republicans from there accepted Trumpism.

        This was absolutely bonkers to live through (and work on campaigns through). 2008 put us over in CT-04 thanks to Obama's Bridgeport turnout but that was on top of the same ongoing demographic-political shifts that got talked about more nationally in '16.
