2020
To the surprise of virtually all observers, the socially conservative evangelical populist Governor GaussLaw of Missouri defeated establishment liberal candidate Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic Party's primaries. In order to prove that he was not just a Blue Dog, GaussLaw picked as his Vice Presidential nominee the social democratic Senator Mung Beans of California, who nonetheless was pro-life like GaussLaw which made this the first all pro-life Democratic ticket since 1968.
Meanwhile the Republicans rallied around the popular Senator Goldwater of Washington whose socially libertarian views resonated with younger voters in the party who defeated the various candidates of the establishment and Tea Party factions of the GOP. For his running mate, Senator Goldwater selected the more traditonally conservative Governor Cathcon of Michigan.
The general election was quite close in the popular vote margin but GaussLaw's success in winning over much of the white vote in the Upper South along with dominance in the larger states of the Northeast and Midwest ensured a Democratic victory.
