Robert told Michael he would be coming up with new ideas to expand their company the next day. Michael went home to watch the presidential election results and as expected, Clinton won by a landslide in the democratic state of Massachusetts, but Trump won in the republican state of Arizona, his favorite state that he said once while visiting, which had almost the same size population as Massachusetts. Michael tried to stay up and watch the end of the election, but he ended up falling asleep before it was over. Robert came in the next day with some new ideas. He told Michael that he saw a lot of press on Massachusetts and Arizona last night and noticed that their sales were almost non-existent in both of those states. He explained how he felt they should try to push into them, but due to their budget, they could only afford to focus on expanding into one of them. He then asked which state Michael felt they should choose which he was happy he could answer comfortably.

Which state did Michael recommend and why?
