The Campaign Trail: Post Your Maps!

[zoz]

Al Gore/Bob Graham - 51,871,094 (48.8%) 304 EV
George W. Bush/Dick Cheney - 51,402,093 (48.4%) 234 EV
Ralph Nader/Winona LaDuke - 2,635,360 (2.5%)
Pat Buchanan/Ezola Foster - 311,269 (0.3%)

Played as Al Gore, ran close to Clinton and avoided any non-issue based questions, as well as any missteps. The map came out quite interesting, with Gore doing well down the Mississippi Valley region, but losing Wisconsin and New Mexico to Bush. Bush's margins in other parts of the West were down however, notably in the Great Plains.

The five closest states were:

New Hampshire (+1,113, 0.2% MoV)
Ohio (+9,512, 0.2% MoV)
Iowa (+6,258, 0.5% MoV)
Florida (+45,183, 0.67% MoV)
Pennsylvania (+33,921, 0.7% MoV)

A couple of weeks ago i managed to get the 15th best George H.W Bush result so thought i would share that. https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/1439745

George H.W Bush (R-TX)/Bob Dole (R-KS) - 55.2% - 496 EVs
Micheal Dukakis (D-MA)/Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) - 43.8% - 42 EVs

2016 US Presidential Election
As Clinton

Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Sherrod Brown (D-OH) - 69,789,230 votes - 53.12% - 332 EVs*
Donald Trump (R-NY)/Mike Pence (R-IN) - 57,905,990 votes - 44.07% - 206 EVs
Gary Johnson (L-NM)/William Weld (L-NM) - 2,793,016 votes - 2.13%
Jill Stein (G-MA)/Ajamu Baraka (G-DC) - 903,888 votes - 0.69%

*Note: Hillary Clinton's vote share in Maine at-large was 1% lower than Obama's 2012 vote share in the state. I assumed that she carried ME-02 ITTL. Also, Trump's vote share was 1% lower than McCain's NE at-large vote share, so there is a good chance that Clinton has carried NE-02 ITTL, bringing her electoral vote total to 333-205.

Well done! What happened?

[ON Progressive]

Did 1988 as Dukakis/Bentsen

Michael Dukakis (D-MA)/Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) - 346 EV, 51% Popular Vote (46,515,128 votes)
George H.W. Bush/Dan Quayle - 192 EV, 47.9% Popular Vote (43,679,724 votes)

[adamevans]

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/1456244

Michael Dukakis/Jesse Jackson - 50.59%/313
George H.W Bush/James Quayle - 48.28%/225

I picked Jesse Jackson for Vice President, which always seems to be the worst of the four potential Vice Presidents, and I lost the debate, but I managed to win the election ultimately by banking in on Texas and winning it by just a little over 1%. The closest states were Texas, Ohio, Louisiana, Maine and Delaware. Both Ohio and Louisiana were decided under 2,000 votes or 0.1%.

[OSR stands with Israel]

They just added an updated 2016 scenario. Managed to win with Trump + NH

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/1484430


Let’s see if I can win with Hillary too

[OSR stands with Israel]

Ok won with Hillary, wont post link cause it has my name on it

[Left Wing]

Hopefully they will now add more years and this isn’t a one time update.

[West_Midlander]

US presidential election 2016

Fmr. Sec. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) / Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) - 48.55% - 279 EVs
Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY) / Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN) - 45.77% - 259 EVs

During the campaign, Clinton pledged to serve only one term and Stein was reduced to just 0.43% in the general election. I played as Clinton on normal mode.

[West_Midlander]

US presidential election 2016

Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY) / Dr. Ben Carson (R-MI) - 47.78% - 347 EVs
Fmr. Sec. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) / Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) - 46.09% - 191 EVs

The results showed Trump with 347 EVs, so I assume Clinton held onto Maine's 2nd. I played as Trump on normal.

If they add new games I would love to see 1992 for sure

[Devout Centrist]

Glad to see it isn’t dead and my money wasn’t wasted.

[KaiserDave]

They updated 2016? Nice!!!

[KaiserDave]

The new 2016 scenario is very very good

[zoz]

Hillary Clinton/Sherrod Brown - 308 - 48.9%
Donald Trump/Mike Pence - 230 - 45.0%
Other - 6.1%

Played as Clinton, won pretty solidly although it got rough at the end. About half way through the game I had most of the Rust Belt leaning my way, as well as narrow leads in NC, GA, TX, and AZ. Mississippi and SC were also a lighter shade of red. Overall I did better than 84.4% of players as Hillary so far.

Didn't save the map but I got a similar victory with Clinton/Brown

[Left Wing]

What is good about this new 2016 version is that all the answers actually make sense for the candidate. You don’t have a scenario where Hillary is pro-life or Trump supports universal healthcare. I don’t know why they removed Scott Brown though.

[Chips]

They made it MUCH easier to win with Trump.

356-182

[OSR stands with Israel]

Played it again and Got these maps:

With Trump:

Trump/Christe 319
Hillary/Kaine 219

With Hillary:

Hillary/Sanders 297
Trump/Pence 241


How did I win OH over FL

[Orwell]

I really really like this new scenario it seems balanced and less broken then others

[Chips]

If they add new games I would love to see 1992 for sure

2004 would be great as well.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Much improved on the original!

2016 United States presidential election
