Background: Born into a Middle Class Family in Suburban San Diego, (Name) attended (San Diego Middle School) and then later (San Diego High school). At 18 he joined the Army where he would find himself in Egypt and Libya as part of a Peacekeeping operation. In 1983 he was wounded as a Seargent in the 75th Ranger Regiment in the Invasion of Grenada after trying to save a friend from gunfire in the (Insert Invasion of Grenada Battle Name here). He would receive a (Insert Very High Military Medal Here) and return home in 1984 to San Diego and would attend UC Berkeley where he would meet his future wife. He received top honors in his classes in the University and settled somewhere around Fresno. He soon became interested in politics and in 1992 ran for the republican nomination for District 15. He was able to squeak out a victory in the Republican Primary and in a surprising upset of the 1992 California House Elections, (Insert the name) was able to defeat, as a republican, Long standing representative of multiple districts incumbent Don Edwards who was widely expected to win at the age of 31. He positioned himself a Liberal Republican in the House and won reelection in his district in a landslide. In 1998 he ran for the Republican Nomination for the California Senate. He was able to squeak out 44-43.6% against Matt Fong, and went on to win the Election against Incumbent Barbara Boxer in a 49-48% Victory. This is largely attributed to his massive wins in South and Central California where in his home county in San Diego he won upwards of 60% of the vote. At only 37 he was sworn in as Senator of California and similarly like his predecessor who was also 37, Jerry Brown, he would be known as the Boy Senator. In the Senate like in the House, he would govern as a Liberal Republican calling himself a 'Social Liberal and Fiscal Conservative' and sometimes Fiscal Moderate. At the Height of Moralism in the United States this didn't go well with the Socon crowd in the Republican Party who called him a RINO. But nevertheless he was very popular in California with a 2000 May Survey showing 71% approval of his performances with 82% approval from Republicans and 58% from Democrats. In 2004 he won Reelection against Democratic Challenger Mickey Kaus 61-35% mainly due to Kaus's scaring away of the Liberal Bay Area Base whom which either narrowly voted for him or voted in the high digits and teens for (Insert Name). SF County that year was only 51-44% for Kaus. In the Senate he continued his work as a Liberal Republican and in this tenure he was mostly known for his vehement opposition to George Bush's Privatization of Social Security. He decided not to run for another term in 2010 but instead in 2014 ran for Governor. There he was able to secure the nomination but faced a much bigger challenge. He faced off against Incumbent Jerry Brown. He campaigned vehemently and his national recognition and the Race being spotlighted on National News made the Race Competitive. He was in the end able to edge out a victory but it wasn't until November 15th when the winner was called. In the End he was able to win by 1092 votes. As the Governor he governed not too differently from the Actual Jerry Brown and was popular throughout his tenure. Meanwhile on the national Stage he was picking up steam as a possible candidate for the 2016 Republican Nomination. Polls showed him up or near the top of the Republican Candidates and most importantly a ABC poll made in October of 2014 showed him 52-44% above Clinton. After months of speculation he decided to run and on May 7th announced. He was need major luck going in the primary which was seen by many as the most difficult part of him getting to the white house. In the Debates he is called for being a RINO which in response he returns that he was the Republican Party of old and that in the origins of the Republican Party they where the Rinos. He decided to pivot a little in order to appeal to the primary base too. This plus good debate performances but him as a frontrunner. On December 6th, 2015 Donald Trump endorsed him putting and end to speculation of him running for the white house. In order to stop him, the Socons of the Republican Party put their weight behind behind a Socon candidates (Like Ted Cruz). In the Primary's that candidate was able to win the south, the Plains, and some of the Rocky Mountain States but (Insert Name) crushed him in the West Coast States, The rust belt, North East, and the Southwest putting him on the way of the nomination. He was nominated amide harsh resistance from the Socons at the convention who even speculated a third party but that died down in favor of party unity. The election campaign itself went by rather quickly but in it he pivots more to the center again and is able to win two debates against Hillary and tie one. In the End he wins a 46-43-6-3-2 (Insert Name),Clinton,Johnson,Castle,Stein and in a 363-175 decisive win. He however loses California but by 3.7%.

Extremely well written. Great piece.
One caveat. It would be extremely difficult for a candidate to win the popular vote by 3% but win 363 electoral votes. As a point of reference, Clinton beat HW Bush by 5.5% and got 370 electoral votes and Obama beat McCain by 7.2% and got 365.
