Her performance in the Electoral College is downright embarrassing considering she's winning the popular vote by the same margin as Nixon '72. also Trump still wins 21 states.

Yeah I probably should have either humbled her PV win, or given her an electoral mega win with those numbers. But is it possible for Trump to win all those states with just 38 million? I mean the country would have to be incredibly polarized.

how do people make wiki infoboxes?

I screencapped the 2016 wikibox and just edited over it in MS Paint with 9pt Arial font, and make sure to keep the gray background.

It's oddly satisfying to see a blue-Democrat red-Republican map on this forum for once

I mean I get why Dems are Red and GOP are Blue here, due to pre-2000 conventional standards that red = leftism, blue = conservatism, but why hasn't Atlas modernized and changed it. It'll be much easier to analyze maps.

Blame wikipedia, and how they use that color scheme, and people are using wikipedia stuff as baselines.  I wish wikipedia would switch to Red=Dem and Blue=Pub.

Red for a GOP and Blue for DEM predates Wikipedia by 1 year, and Wikipedia isn't driving the color conventions, parties, media, and culture dictates that red=gop, blue=dems.

Barack Obama/Blanche Lincoln - 376 Electoral Votes

John McCain/Sarah Palin - 162 Electoral Votes

Do you guys think Obama would carry Arkansas if he had Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln as his running mate? I think no, but it would push him to win Missouri since it was so close in '08.

This is a map I made based on a playthrough of a browser game called Win the White House... and as you can see it's a mess.

I played as a Dem from Texas, and I won a bunch of states but lost of a bunch of states in weird ass ways. Like... losing VT and MA and DC but winning NY, GA, and SC. I supported standard dem issues like pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, healthcare reform, public education, etc.

Sen. Steven Smith/Sen. Ana Mendez - 382 Electoral Votes

Gov. Melinda Rose/Sen. Michael Hew - 156 Electoral Votes

Swing states at the end were Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and North Carolina. I was initially on track to win all four but Rose took NC by a hair.

I love the game every once in a while but holy  it's not very detailed or sensible. The way the game works is that a player picks either a Dem or a GOPer and assigns them standard liberal or conservative partisan issues to campaign on (you have the choice to pick a "maverick" issue to reach across the aisle).

When you play the game, you have the choice to fundraise, poll states, launch ads in states, and make appearances to raise your momentum and chances in the state. The issue is is that instead of states having predictable stances on issues, like California supporting abortion, LGBTQ rights, and gun control, you have states like New York supporting big oil and family values and Albama supporting abortion and fiscal responsibility.

1968: It Can Happen Here

That's fully scary and chilling of a title.

Fun little game I played.

Step 1: Use the EVC calculator or 270towin map.

Step 2: Find a website that gives you a random US state. Put all 50 states in a random list generator. https://www.randomlists.com/random-us-states. This site will generate 50 states if you put the quantity at 50 instead of 6.

Step 3: Isolate two states at a time.

Step 4: The first random state will go Republican. The second state will go Democratic.

Step 5: Have fun with wacky results.

The above map:

Tom Sheridan (R-WI)/Malcolm Marquez(R-WA) - 295 EVs - 48.65%

Sherry Tomson (D-VA)/Marco Malcolmson (D-KY) - 243 EVs - 50.21%

I instead used a list randomizer (https://www.random.org/lists/) to calculate my map and here's the result, creating a super narrow Dem win.

Alexandra Mitchell (D-MS)/Michael Scott (D-NH) 279 EVs - 49.32%

Mitch Alexander (R-GA)/Scott Michaels (R-HI) 259 EVs - 49.01%

I know I'm biased since I like her but I am also able to point out you are also biased as hell since you seem to hate her guts. You seem to always have to chime in with your usual "She'll never win!" comment.

Hillary Clinton VS Chris Christie without his scandals.

Governor Christopher Christie (R-NJ)/Governor Susana Martinaz(R-NM) (321EV) ✓

Switch New Jersey and Alaska.

I switched Alaska but i still think that Christie could won New Jersey,it was pretty close in 2004 and Christie was very popular Governer there.

Nah. As a New Jersey Resident, nah. It was not close in 2004, and it had been a Dem state since 1992. Obama won it by nearly 60% both times, and Hillary Clinton is a pretty okay fit for the state. With all her scandals and none of Christie's, it'd still go blue.

1990 General Election

Dems: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-AR) and her vice-presidential nominee Sen. Bill Bradley (D-NJ), win a tight race against incumbent President Pete Wilson (R-CA) and VP Thomas Kean (R-NJ).

283 vs. 255

In 1996, President Hillary Clinton is ineligible to run for a second consecutive turn, so she will most likely run again in 2002 or later. Incumbent VP Bill Bradley wins the Democratic nomination and chooses Fmr. Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) as his running mate, but they lose to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL).

230vs.308

2002 saw a very close election, with Republican Vice President Jeb Bush winning 277 electoral votes against Fmr. Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA). However, the Republican primary was rough, and so a good chunk of Republicans in the House and some Democrats passed a bill making not only the President, but the Vice President ineligible for two consecutive terms. It passed the GOP senate and was reluctantly signed by Bush in September.

261vs277

Fmr. Pres. Hillary Clinton (D-AR) returned to run for President in 2007 after playing an important role at the UN regarding crimes against humanity in the Kurdish War for Independence. The economy crashed in 2008 and Hillary Clinton chose Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) as her running mate. She won the election handily, but saw previously Dem strongholds like West Virginia and Missouri slip from her grasp. Her attention shifted to states like California, Virginia, Florida, and Arizona, which used to be GOP friendly states, but had shifted leftward due to a growth of population, more diverse voting bases, and a population leaning more leftwards.

A neoliberal "Opportunity Democrat" in the mold of Feinstien or Pelosi runs against a Republican who is Trumpist economically, unattractive to business conservatives. However, the main st. Republican wins by a single EV after a shocking victory in ME-01.

If you're going to throw shade, I'd say that you could have DEMs win UT and lose IL on top of that and it's still better than a TL with both President Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.
