Supplementing my dumb meme presidents thing

2036:
Senator Leigh (OK) / Governor Emily Peebleton (NC)
VP Nikki Haley / Representative Elise Stefanik (NY)

2040:
Governor Laura "Koopette" (IA) / Governor Joanna Campbell (IL)
President Leigh (OK) / Vice President Emily Peebleton (NC)

2044:
President Laura "Koopette" (IA) / Vice President Joanna Campbell (IL)
IDK two centrists or something

2048
Former VP Peebs / Senator Weather Boy
VP Joanna Campbell / Governor W.X. Transit

The election comes down to SC, which, thanks to the selection of popular senator Weather Boy as VP, goes to Peebs by only 4,973 votes.


that's it for now.

And then...

MN comes down to 500 votes.

Governor wxtransit/Senator DFL
VP Weatherboy/Governor Ninja

2056

Senator Sestak/Governor MB

2060

President Sestak/Vice President MB

Televangelist King Lear! That's hilarious but that hilarity dies when I see that his running mate is hofoid. What a horrifying pair!

You should be able to edit the map code to make Maine yellow.

Trump wins the election carrying 45 states to Hillary Clinton and independent incumbent Mitt Romney

In case you wonder why this happened all I have to say is "Aw well, in this timeline Billy Bush died in 1994"

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Eh, I would have thought Hillary turned out to be Roy Moore.

Guess

Electoral vote/Representative changes 2020?

[West_Midlander]

2008

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice / Governor Mitt Romney 274 EVs / 49.4% / 66,394,301 votes
Senator Hillary Clinton / Governor Bill Richardson 264 EVs / 49.7% / 66,744,988
Senator Clinton won the popular vote and lost the electoral college eight years after Gore did the same. No states were particularly close so I doubt a recount would flip the race. Yet that's Republican Maryland somehow (President Infinity) and the other weirdness is AR being blue/tossup early in the campaign. This could be explained away by Hillary (Bill as a surrogate) on the ticket but as 2016 proved and as we would expect AR shouldn't really be competitive for Dems after 04. MD was Democrat by 13 in 2004 and that was a trend Republican by four. Perhaps it could be possible with a black GOP nominee for President but it's doubtful.

With the Democratic minor candidates staying in for the long run (or at least the majority of the race) this weighed heavily on the young Obama campaign. Obama stayed in second longer and through the early contests but gained momentum from those early states and finally caught up in the polls by February. Though there was a sharp reversal as Super Tuesday came and Clinton began to grow and increase her lead. She managed a 9-10 point lead for most of the rest of the race (last February to the end) and managed a small delegate majority and a PV plurality. In a heavily contested Republican primary (way more than IRL). Condoleezza responds positively to the Draft Condi movement. Jeb! ran for President in 2016 and withdrew early on, the first major candidate to withdraw. He endorsed Condi, paving the way for her to climb out of second place. With the help and support of the Bushes she became the frontrunner as the first contests began and the pre-primary frontrunner Giuliani collapsed to 5th place in the national polls. As candidates dropped out left and right, McCain was the last opponent eventually losing the PV to Rice by 9 points, the same as Clinton beat Obama, in the end. Once the presumptive nominees were finalized America was certain to have her first female president. It was just a matter of who.

With both parties narrowly evading contested conventions and both primaries so contested and so close, both nominees wanted to pick former primary opponents to unify the base. Rice partnered her foreign policy experience with Romney's domestic experience as a Governor. He was also a good pick as a former contender for the nomination, and him being and East Coast white man (her being West Coast). America probably wasn't ready for a double-minority ticket so it was probably the safer option. Clinton had the same thoughts balancing her ticket with New Mexico's Governor Bill Richardson. A male Governor from a distant swing state that Bush won in 04. She passed up Kucinich for not being moderate. (I would say Dodd for not being charismatic but that didn't stop her from picking Kaine. ). Obama was the popular choice among dissastisfied partisans but she didn't want to risk it with a double minority ticket, and Richardson being from a swing state and not also being a Senator was a plus. Edwards was turned down for being a fellow Senator. It was too much overlap, a running mate should patch up the candidate's weaknesses (or even strengths/sameness) not double down.

This turned out way longer than I anticipated.

Actually, it is a map of which states would have more representatives than they do now if the House size was 459.

[BigVic]

One likely hung Electoral College scenario I made up for 2020. 3rd party is Romney/Flake. The Independent ticket wins ID/UT while Harris/Booker flips FL/AZ but Trump holds onto PA, MI, WI, ME-02, OH and IA and wins ME-AL and NH


Full results
Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-CA)/Sen. Cory A. Booker (D-NJ) 267 46.2%
Pres. Donald J. Trump (R-NY), VP Mike Pence (R-IN) 261 39.4%
Sen. W. Mitt Romney (IR-UT)/Sen. Jeff Flake (IR-AZ) 10 12.5%

PJS narrowly held the WV-03 district after Richard Ojeda left it to run for (and win) Governor of West Virginia. Blankenship successfully primaries Shelly Moore-Capito.
