Clinton vs Cruz

287-251

Same as 2012, slightly bigger Democratic margin of victory in the popular vote.

Nope...wont happen. There is no example of a party going for its third straight electoral victory where they get MORE popular votes. Even FDR in 1940 got fewer votes than in 1936.

Remember before the 2012 election, how people were saying it'd been a century since the last time a president had been re-elected with fewer EVs than their first election?

Remember how no Democrat had won without Tennessee before 2008, and how no Republican had won without California until 2000? Remember how the Weekly World News Alien always endorsed the winner until 2012? Dozens of these are broken every election cycle, so they're pretty much meaningless.
