Any thoughts when we'll see a candidate winning 400+ electoral votes again (that's almost 75% of the electoral college)? Is this ever going to happen again?
The last president to achieve this was Bush 1 in 1988. However, between 1912 and 1988 it occured several times: 1912, 1920, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944, 1952, 1956, 1964, 1972, 1980, 1984 and 1988 (14 out of 20; and 1924 came close to 400).
Its going to be really tough for both parties; but almost imposible for the GOP.
This is the absolut maximum potential I see for Republicans; and this scenario is still almost 40 votes short of the magic 400
(361 electoral votes):
Path for Democrats (very very difficult;
401 electoral votes in this scenario):
