Title: 2016: Paul Ryan vs. Hillary Clinton
Post by: RC (a la Frémont) on September 02, 2017, 03:05:54 PM
What would happen if 2012 Republican VP nominee/House Speaker Paul Ryan had won the Republican nomination and went on to face Clinton? How would he do in the debates and general election? Discuss with maps.

If he was never elected Speaker, as that's the only way I could see him running:

312: Paul Ryan/Brian Sandoval - 50.1%
226: Hillary Clinton/Deval Patrick - 45.1%

Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine 309
Paul Ryan/Terry Branstad 229

People seem to forget how unpopular the Republican Congress was. The race starts off close, but Hillary pulls away in October after a withering ad assault from Clinton. She almost certainly loses in 2020, likely to someone like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or Nikki Haley.
