Reagan would have if not for a problem with AF1.  He was going to visit MN, but a problem forced them to cancel.  

Never noticed that Reagan came so close in MN, he only lost by 4000 votes!

However, that was then this is now.

In 1984 Reagan won with a 18% margin and nearly won all 50 states.  But looking at 2000 for Bush to have win all 50 states he would have needed to win by 31% (to overcome Gore's margin in RI) while Gore would needed a margin of 44% (to overcome Bush in Utah).

It was closer in 1996, Clinton would have won all 50 states if he won by 25% (again to get Utah), while Dole would have needed 29% to win all 50 (including MA).

So looks like we need to find a candidate  that could win by 30%, is there anyone in America who could fill that requirement?  Sadly I can’t think of anyone
