This is what I think it would look like:
Ya know I think I could make a story about this...
The primaries were very hard, especially for the Republicans... Amazingly Governor JerryArkansas wins just enough delegates to make it to the RNC in Manchester, New Hampshire... at the convention the Governor selected fellow Republican Governor Cathcon of Michigan. Meanwhile the Democrats nominated Representative Obepo of Missouri for President and recently turned Democrat, Senator Clarence of Florida... Due to a seeming abandonment of the Conservative base, Republican Senator BushOklahoma of Oklahoma abandoned the Republicans and made a bid for the Presidency and selected Vermont Governor MattVT as his VP pick... Though the next in line for the Libertarian nomination Representative Grumps of Missouri seemed to be a little bland, Grumps amazingly selected South Carolina Governor Ernest... once he did that the Libertarian brand seemed to be all of the sudden a party that made sense to support... It was a big shocker to all of the candidates on who their base would be and where it would be... The Republican's new base was the biggest shocker... It seemed like all of their base in the Rust Belt dissapeared as with New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, Delaware and California... But they did gain a few new bases; Missouri, Florida and Georgia proved to be the biggest bases for them... South Carolina, Texas an New Mexico proved to be the biggest (and only) base for the Libertarians thanks to the Grumps/Ernest ticket...
