      Because the state's voters, while generally loyal now to Republicans, reached a point with a bad nominee beyond which they could not be pushed. Exactly the dynamic that so rarely happens in Democrat-dominated cities, and in some of them, hasn't happened in decades..https://twitter.com/jkempcpa/status/1155207642438144001 …

      Let’s be honest now. Why do you think Alabama still has a D Senator? https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1155206330392698883 …

      New York elected a Republican mayor in 2009.

      I have lived more time in MA under Republican governors than D governors.

      The New England GOP has proven fairly resilient in gubernatorial races. Again, because the voters are not a racial or ethnic tribe acting out their resentments in the way that Democrat-run urban machines typically are, and have been since the 1830s.

      If you think there are still D machines in local politics in MA, and that’s been the case since the 1830s, you need to get out more. Seriously.

      Boston is still Boston. But my point about machines built on racial/ethnic resentment is very much true of the American cities that have gone the longest without a Republican mayor, like Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, New Orleans, & DC.

      If what you say were still true, Ayanna Pressley would not be in Congress right now b/c she never would have been elected to the Boston City Council. Here is the current CC. https://www.boston.gov/departments/city-council … Not exactly the product of an ethnic machine, and Mayor Marty Walsh knows it. /1

      /2 The machines you apparently have in mind did not exist in the 1830's. The great wave of European immigrants, beginning with the Famine Irish, started in the 1840's. Still, they didn't elect an Irish mayor until 1885 nor another one for 20 years.

      Sure, the systems took time to build. The Democrats started dominating the nascent big cities in the Jackson era. My broader point about the longstanding asymmetries of the two parties includes the fact that there was no change in which party was the party of big cities since.
