[Former Senator Haslam2020]

1976-The return of Camelot

Sen. Ted Kennedy/Fmr. Gov. Jimmy Carter: 372 Electoral Votes, 53.4%
Pres. Ronald Reagan/VP. Howard Baker: 166 Electoral Votes, 44.1%

President Reagan made big promises on the campaign trail in ‘72, but failed to deliver. The Administration immediately sent troops back into what was an unpopular war, although the South Vietnamese Civil war was won many liberals were immediately alienated. Secretary of State Nixon resigned less than a year after taking office, and was replaced by Henry Kissinger. President Reagan’s hardline views on social matters further alienated moderates, leading to 1974 losses. The “Make America Great Again Movement” had put the Democrats in disarray back in 1972, but its effects’ were still lingering. The party looked to Humphrey, who declined due to health issues. The party needed another Kennedy, or a continuation of his policies. Senator Ted Kennedy, who narrowly escaped an assassination attempt had the backing of his brother, John. Former Governor Carter stunned the world with a win in Iowa, and after a hard fought Primary, Ted Kennedy won. Senator Kennedy decided to offer Carter the VP slot, and it worked. The Kennedy vs Reagan debates were one of the most viewed in history, and most likely were one of the prime reasons that (in Lee Atwater and Roger Stone’s words): “Reagan got his a** handed to him on election night”.

Is this just 2016 but reversed?

Obviously. Maybe he wants us to imagine a scenario where these results are possible. If that's the case, I'd say Jimmy Carter/Frank Church vs. Nelson Rockefeller/Ronald Reagan and there's a massive farm crisis going on.
Also maybe there's two third party candidates who get ~3% of the vote each, which would explain some of the more wacky results.

2004: We can do better, America.

Sen. John McCain/Fmr. Gov. Jim Gilmore: 280 Electoral Votes, 48.1%
Pres. Al Gore/Gov. Ed Rendell: 258 Electoral Votes, 46.7%

The President started off his administration following a controversial 2000 Election fiasco, this starting off with low approval ratings. The September 11th attacks happen and it is found out that a memo supposedly warning of the attacks was ignored by a President Gore, however it wasn’t even placed on his desk. Republicans make big news of this and gain in the 2002 Midterms. The President invaded Afghanistan after the attacks, but in 2003 a Taliban surge threatens the U.S prescense there. Rumors of potential Iraqi WMDs are met with hostility by President Gore. Vice President Lieberman even in public criticized Gore for this, and declined to run for a second term with Gore. Secretary of State Biden also declined the running mate position, perhaps in favor for a 2008 bid. Although the economy was decent, and with Gore’s great environmental strides, Senator John McCain used the political environment to his advantage, and defeated President Gore for another term.

Top: Bill Clinton's 1992 Missouri win map

Bottom: 2006 Missouri senate primary map with Bill Clinton Young as blue against McCaskill. Most likely result is people walking into the primary booth and seeing Bill Clinton Young and laughing and voting him as a joke. And he ended up doing outperforming despite being a joke candidate in Areas that Bill won in Missouri.

Charlie Baker/Susan Collins v. Joe Manchin/Zell Miller

Charlie Baker/Susan Collins v. Joe Manchin/Zell Miller

I think that for this to have actually happened, this would've had to have happened in the 90's or earlier. The country is far too polarized for any Democrat to get over 60% in states like Wyoming, West Virginia, and Oklahoma. And it would require some really bizarre conditions for the plains states to be voting overwhelmingly Democratic while states like New York and Massachussets vote overwhelmingly Republican.

I know that some of the maps I have posted (i.e. Rutherford, Holland), have come to be viewed as redundant by some here, but the map that I am now posting is "different". I found the map template at DailyKos.com, where they had engaged in a project to devise congressional districts drawn up on non-partisan lines. I translated the results from my Holland Scenario to this template, producing this map below:

These congressional district boundaries are interesting, and are reminiscent of those that were in place in prior decades (1964, for example).

Where is Holland in OTL when we need him?

Correction, I guess not, considering Colorado should be green (unless that was an error).

Wow, how did I not notice that.

Anyway yes, that's the Senate map from 1918-2018 with 25 year intervals.

I think you are being way too generous to the democrats here. I think that the Democrats will substantially slim the GOP majority, but I don't think a house takeover is possible with the districts drawn the way they are.
