Draw your ideal map: last five presidential races

[BushKerry04]

How would you like to have seen the past five presidential elections end up? The rules are simple: any primary or general election candidate from either of the two major political parties can be the winner. No third party candidates or anyone who didn't run in the primaries allowed. While you can be creative, being realistic makes it more, well, real (for example, having a Republican win Massachusetts isn't realistic).

Here's mine:

2016:
Rand Paul (R) 57% 312 EV
Bernie Sanders (D) 42% 226 EV

2012:
Ron Paul (R) 60% 353 EV
Barack Obama (D) 39% 185 EV

2008:
Ron Paul (R) 60% 353 EV
Hillary Clinton (D) 39% 185 EV

2004:
George W. Bush (R) 53% 338 EV
John Edwards (D) 46% 200 EV

2000:
Steve Forbes (R) 55% 316 EV
Al Gore (D) 44% 222 EV

I'm sorry, but if Ron Paul is clearing 60% both times, he's getting more than 353 EVs.

For just 2016:

Bernie Sanders/Sherrod Brown: 423 EV, 57.28%

Rand Paul/Jim Gilmore: 115 EV, 40.83%

If Mississippi's voting Sanders, then NH is voting Sanders.

I know, it's not meant to be realistic. Just idealism. Texas and Virginia would also flip though realistically.
