2016: Bloomberg vs. Jeb!

[President Johnson]

Hillary for some reason doesn't run and Mike Bloomberg emerges as the etsbalishment frontrunner, beating Bernie Sanders in a competitive primary. Meanwhile, the Republicans quickly get behind Jeb! who wins the nomination after Trump screwed up big time. What happens in November?

Bloomberg is entirely self-funding in this scenario and campaigns on his brand as problem solver who isn't beholden to anyone.

Bloomberg holds on against bland candidate Jeb with 279 freiwall.

✓ Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg (D-NY)/Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ): 279 EVs.; 50.6%
Former Jeb Bush (R-FL)/Governor Mary Fallin (R-OK): 259 EVs.; 47.7%

[HisGrace]

Trump did screw up big time.

This election would be so boring that no one would actually show up to vote. Not sure what happens in that event, guess it goes to the House.

[Nightcore Nationalist]

Bloomberg and VP nominee Clinton focuses on the eastern seaboard, winning NH by a hair, PA (it and MI are a bad fit for Jeb!) and Va by a few points, and just misses FL and NC.

Bush focuses on NV, CO, NM and IA and OH while VP nominee Walker is dispatched to WI, which decides the election.  They lose CO 48-49 and NM by 44-48, but win Nevada by 2 points. Trends keep IA and OH atlas blue, but only by 3-4 points.
