So a pro-choice Charlie Baker-type "fiscal conservative" vs. a pro-life (I believe?) "populist" Democrat? (Of course this assumes that they actually somehow win their party's nomination despite holding these views and don't change them)
Sorry Tom, but I think it would look like this:
Iowa goes R because of the home state bonus. I think this would be a solid SouthernGothic victory, but not because RINO Tom is an awful candidate or campaigner. I just believe Tom would have a much harder time rallying the base than Southern Gothic, and he would be faced with an uphill battle in the Electoral College as well.
The margins in places like Fairfax County and WV-03 would be astonishing in this election.
This seems fairly realistic, I doubt I'd win NV, NM, and AZ since I would have very limited appeal to latinos outside of being Catholic. And I doubt MT and the Dakotas would be big fans of me given my anti-fracking stance.
A swing map for this election would be hysterical.
You think you would hold all of MN, WA, OR, ME, CT, NJ, NY, and VT?
The Wells-LLR mafia would
ensure he held NY (and NJ and CT too for good measure)
