JBE as the Dem nominee vs. incumbent DeSantis in a booming economy? The NE completely bails on him, but he wins a number of Southern states that are majority-minority or nearly so and only a small SocCon crossover vote is needed to flip them?
CA and TX would both be within 5 and JBE loses some Bay Area counties that have been Dem since 1992.
Beautiful
I'd flip Hawaii and maybe Massachusetts though
Hawaii has a very significant SoCon Dem presence. I think it would be one of the most sure thing states for JBE.
I think it's I love incumbents day would cancel it out
Also, if this is a true Dem 1964, that means that 10-20 years later the political alignment would be religious left Dems with a Southern/urban minority base vs. a secular nationalist GOP with a rural North/Midwestern base. A plausible close 2040ish election if that happens:
Would people like me be Democrats or completely disenfranchised by the system and non-voters/voters for some third party?
