United States presidential election, 1896

I began this scenario as McKinley on 'impossible' difficulty to see what a Bryan landslide would look like with the intent of tanking the McKinley campaign. I ended up giving it an honest go.
McKinley - 245 EVs - 6,900,799 - 49.8%
Bryan - 202 EVs - 6,808,723 - 49.1%
Palmer - 0 EVs - 148,459 - 1.1%

Highest Palmer %
FL - 2.54%

Highest Bryan %
MS - 92.02%

Highest McKinley %
VT - 78.20%

Closest Bryan win is IN -- D+1.75

Closest McKinley win is OR -- R+0.77% (720 votes) in a state where Palmer got 1.07% (999 votes).

I chose the decision to put resources in NE in an attempt to embarrass Bryan with a loss instead of collectively targeting the less Democratic states of IA, SD, and WY. (McKinley carried 1/3 of these, I am not sure if the other decision could have flipped these). I chose the decision to focus in the Midwest at large on the final turn. I'm unsure if a different target on the final turn could have changed any of the state results, or perhaps targeting NE twice (instead of solidifying OH, IL, etc. leads) could have led to a loss overall.

Running mate was Hobart.

2016 US Presidential Election
As Clinton

Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Sherrod Brown (D-OH) - 69,789,230 votes - 53.12% - 332 EVs*
Donald Trump (R-NY)/Mike Pence (R-IN) - 57,905,990 votes - 44.07% - 206 EVs
Gary Johnson (L-NM)/William Weld (L-NM) - 2,793,016 votes - 2.13%
Jill Stein (G-MA)/Ajamu Baraka (G-DC) - 903,888 votes - 0.69%

*Note: Hillary Clinton's vote share in Maine at-large was 1% lower than Obama's 2012 vote share in the state. I assumed that she carried ME-02 ITTL. Also, Trump's vote share was 1% lower than McCain's NE at-large vote share, so there is a good chance that Clinton has carried NE-02 ITTL, bringing her electoral vote total to 333-205.

US presidential election 2016

Fmr. Sec. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) / Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) - 48.55% - 279 EVs
Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY) / Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN) - 45.77% - 259 EVs

During the campaign, Clinton pledged to serve only one term and Stein was reduced to just 0.43% in the general election. I played as Clinton on normal mode.

US presidential election 2016

Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY) / Dr. Ben Carson (R-MI) - 47.78% - 347 EVs
Fmr. Sec. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) / Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) - 46.09% - 191 EVs

The results showed Trump with 347 EVs, so I assume Clinton held onto Maine's 2nd. I played as Trump on normal.
