Decided to make a random map of a potential election match up of two political parties. the green colored party can be center to center-left and the blue can be the center to center-right party.

You guys can try and figure out what coalitions of voters supported each party if you want.

Why are the Bushes Democrats in your mini-timeline?

H.W. Bush stayed in Connecticut and remained socially progressive. His foreign policy became even more arabist in nature and anti-neoconservative. Jeb followed suit. W. is still more conservative but also a democrat.

My Dream 2016 Election:
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida/Governor Nikki Haley, R-South Carolina: 290 EVs; 48.52%
Vice President Joe Biden, D-Delaware/Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York: 248 EVs; 46.53%
Mr. Austin Petersen, L-Missouri/Mr. John MacAfee, L-Libertarian: 0 EVs; 3.55%
Mrs. Roseanne Barr, G-Hawaii/Mrs. Susan Sarandon, G-California: 0 EVs; 1.40%

Rubio-Haley would obviously get my support in this scenario but I also strongly approve of Biden-Schumer, Petersen-MacAfee  and have a positive opinion of Roseanne Barr (not really a fan of Susan Sarandon but it'd make a lulzy ticket)

Rubio would, obviously, do better then Trump in southwestern states and other states, like FL, where there's large hispanic/latino populations. Rubio also out-performs Trump with Mormon voters due to him 1.) not being a dick to them 2.) having ties to Mormonism himself. Rubio flips NH and VA due to winning over some defense/national security establishment voters that Trump surely didn't win in both states.

Biden would vastly out-perform Hillary Clinton in the rust belt states (especially PA and MI).

Petersen's best states: MO (home state), CO, NV, NH and MT.
Barr's best states: HI (home state), VT, CA, IL and MA.

USA Post-Worldwide Nuclear Apocalypse:


2100 Election:

Unified Response Party (Blue): 94 EVs  53.45%
National Reaction Coalition (Red): 81 EVs  46.55%

175 EVs Total

State by EVs:
- Florida: 26 EVs
- Ohio: 19 EVs
- North Carolina: 16 EVs
- Minnesota: 15 EVs
- Virginia: 14 EVs
- Wisconsin: 13 EVs
- Pennsylvania: 12 EVs
- South Carolina: 10 EVs
- Georgia: 10 EVs
- Montana: 10 EVs
- Michigan: 10 EVs
- West Virginia: 8 EVs
- Indiana: 7 EVs
- North Dakota: 5 EVs

Platforms for both parties:

Unified Response Party: This Party believes that the nuclear meltdown occurred due to a lack of a strong response to terrorism and other violent threats to the collective national security of the U.S. and the world. The main goals of this party is to focus on securing the remaining states of the USA and provide them with strong national defense forces against rogue forces lurking in the abandoned states near by.

This party also believes in  revitalizing each state's economy on a local basis (promoting individual rights in a Jeffersonian sense) while also providing a significant federal funding plan for infrastructure revitalization. This party opposes quotas or limitations on food sources in the country and supports the interests of farmers and ranchers by opposing bans or limitations on meat-eating.

National Reaction Coalition: This Party believes the nuclear meltdown occurred due to a divided and bitter world order. They believe that the world's countries played a dangerous game with nuclear weapons and energy and that it finally came back to cost us.

This party strongly supports creating a new system for the country with strong environmental and economic regulations. They want to outlaw any remaining source of nuclear energy and also want to ban fossil fuels and any other form of non-clean energy sources. They also support strong quotas and limitations on meat-eating and want to preserve all natural resources by initiating a limitation system based on state population.

They also believe in a strong centralized government that makes most decisions on economic issues for the states, falling more in line with the Hamiltonian view of government. Finally, they support a significant federal funding plan for infrastructure revitalization.
