A different map, of a outrageously implausible scenario for 2020, in which Trump is defeated for reelection. It includes a fictional Democratic nominee:

For this large of a blowout (on the county level) to happen, 2 very implausible things would have to happen: the Democratic ticket would have to be something like Manchin/Edwards, and Trump would have to shoot a man on 5th avenue the weekend before the election.

any thoughts

247-291 rep win.

What's your thought process here? what causes these results?

George Wallace Bush's

Who?

I believe he's discussing George Wallace's bush.

Or George Wallace's sex life...

Blowjobs today, blowjobs tomorrow, blowjobs forever!

Trump: 308 (50.1%)

Sanders: 230 (48.6%)

I think Sanders wins Ohio, Wisconsin, PA, and Iowa and thus the election.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Jim Webb: 298
Donald Trump: 240

Jim Webb almost definitely isn't winning West Virginia, unless he stakes out the state for the last 6 months of the campaign or something.

Flawless, beautiful, time-travelling political God William J. Rutherford replaces LBJ as the Democratic nominee in 1964 and wins all 50 states

Won't Manchin be 81 in 2028?

I don't think that's too old to be Veep, if he's still in good health.

A take-off on the Manchin vs Baker trope that is popular on AlternateHistory.com...

John Bel Edwards (D-LA) vs Phil Scott (R-VT)

and with swing/close states in green:

I found this on a now-defunct blog, and it's eerily accurate to the actual 2016 results.

What. They missed like half of county flips. They seem to just have done uniform swing by state from polling and used it as an end result.

I should clarify, some of the results are eerily accurate, not all of them.

Sanders vs Cruz, based on the last poll taken of the hypothetical race:

Bernie Sanders/Sherrod Brown (D) ~ 400 Electoral Votes ~ 58% Popular Vote

Ted Cruz/Carly Fiorina (R) ~ 100 Electoral Votes ~ 40% Popular Vote

Democrats try the sunbelt strategy in 2020 and fail.

Knowing the modern Democratic Party, I could see this happening.

2022

Senate? Gubernatorial?

My ideal presidential map

I'm not sure I can think of any recent election where this map was plausible.

My ideal presidential map

I'm not sure I can think of any recent election where this map was plausible.

'92 perhaps if Perot had more support in some states and less in others.

That seems plausible, but that'd be a truly odd distribution of support for Perot for this map to happen.

If George Wallace had won the Electoral College outright in 1968.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

any guesses

clue- it is involving a year between 1965-1975

I feel like George Wallace is involved.

Somewhat unrealistic map wherein the Republicans nominate someone very homophobic in 2020 after Trump steps down. Maybe Pence or the gov. of MS. For some reason or other the Republican nominee, after a tough primary against a moderate supported by John Kasich and Rob Portman, attacks these two figures so brutally (and the Ohio GOP in general) that Ohio Republicans refuse to support him and the state votes to the left of IL and CT.

That's a very unrealistic map. voters are too tribalistic to really reject someone of their own party by such a huge margin just because they insulted popular party leaders from their state. hell, voters in rural Ohio would see this as the GOP nominee sticking it to the "elites" and cheer.

Hillary Clinton: 348 (51.68%)

Donald Trump: 190 (44.01%)

Give Clinton Arizona here. It was closer than North Carolina.

        Jason Kander/Chris Murphy(D) - 422 votes
        Donald Trump/Mike Pence(R) - 116 votes

I'm guessing McMullin runs again and does very well in Utah and Wyoming?

2020: The Sun Belt Strategy

Kamala Harris (D-CA)/Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) 288 Electoral Votes ~ 50% Popular Vote
Donald Trump (R-NY)/Mike Pence (R-IN) 250 Electoral Votes ~ 46% Popular Vote

And also, a fun map I did to see how I could edit Wikipedia infoboxes. Posted it on reddit to a chorus of hate and Trump tears.

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.

If Kamala is getting like 80% in states like MA, NY, and CA, then I guess Trump could still win all those states in this scenario, but in reality Trump would probably only win 5-7 states if he was losing the popular vote by 23%.

Gillibrand winning Missouri, Montana, and Indiana but not Georgia or Texas is weird.
