2008: John McCain(R) vs Donald Trump(D)

[OSR stands with Israel]

I would guess this

[UWS]

I don't think Trump would win Florida so easily as a Democrat, especially since he supported the Cuban embargo at that time, which would make him unable to appeal among Cuban-Americans.

Assuming Hillary is his running mate (which I think he would have wanted, ironically), and he still runs a populist campaign that has broad appeal to the WWC, I could see something like this:



Evangelical leaders are strongly against him (also ironically) which prevents him from winning more in the South and probably Indiana (Obama had unique appeal there too), but not so much in other Appalachian and Midwest states, which were suffering economically, would have been drawn to Trump’s message, and (especially in the case of Arkansas) would have welcomed Clinton as VP.

He couldnt pick Hillary because both Hillary and Trump were from New York. I think he would have picked Joe Biden actually as his vp or someone similar.


I also dont think he wins Virginia as hed be a terrible fit for NoVA and the map kinda would look pretty similar to 1996 VA in that case.
