Of course, you could get a 2004 type victory if things went just right. Imagine an AOC type candidate against a more “normal” Republican who is a bit more moderate.

She’d make so many gaffes it wouldn’t be funny. A lot of suburban whites would never vote for her.

That’s exactly what W did for his narrow popular vote victory in 2004. Remember he was moderate on immigration.

Same way they try to win currently. They'd just be successful less often (although not as rarely as people might think).

Let's say the EC was somehow abolished after the 2000 election. Assuming minimal butterflies, Bush still wins in 2004, Obama wins in 2008 and 2012. Clinton probably wins in 2016, but do you really think she'd be favored to win re-election in 2020?
President Elect Cotton likely will have just defeated her easily.
