My goal in life now is to deadlock the Electoral College as Perot, but Clinton just seems too popular, even when I focus on attacking him and he tries to play Giant Steps on Arsenio Hall. The best I've been able to do is Maine, Montana and Nevada.

You could try playing with proportional. That'll make it easier to deadlock the EC in a three way race.

Slick Goddamned Willy strikes again! I pulled out ALL the stops to get ahead here, and went hard against both Bush and Clinton to pull ahead in both Ohio and Texas, and yet I still come up short! GA appears to be the tipping point which Clinton won over Bush by just under 10k votes. MO was also very close, going to Clinton over me by 22k.



Clinton/Gore - 36.3%
Bush/Quayle - 33.6%
Perot/Stockdale - 29.3%

Here's my 2016 game as Clinton/Manchin, really surprising result.

Finally won on Normal as Bush in 1992. Here is the map:



With just 39.8% of the popular vote, I think that would be the lowest share of the popular vote for an elected president since like 1824. Although I still won it, exactly 1 point ahead of Clinton.

Nice to see third party states I gotta say.

I played as Bush/Guliani on Easy and won 348-190 EC votes with and won the PV by almost 5%.

How did perot win idaho? All I can get him is maine, Montana, nevada

You know, I just have to say...

It truly is impressive what the Campaign Trail subreddit and Discord communities have done with the game over the past six months from making a whole new site after the old site's security certificate expired to making brand new, fully fleshed out mods. To be honest, I thought this game was dead in the water six months ago but the game's community have managed to bring a LOT of life back into this game and it seems as like that isn't stopping soon.

2016 4-way mod is out. This will allow you to play a 4 way race between Clinton, Rubio, Trump and Sanders and I've played it...and It gets wild sometimes.

Played Hillary Clinton as a moderate Democrat. Got some interesting results. I played as winner take all, but adjusted the map for how the electoral votes in NE/ME would've voted if the states voted by that percentage in this timeline. ME-1 & NE-2 went from a 269-269 draw to a 271-267 Clinton win.

Gore's Southern Strategy wins 2000 by 276-262!  All while losing the popular vote 48.5-48.7...

Who said anything about hanging chads???

[Alben Barkley]

My best showing yet as Clinton 1992 on Normal (with Graham as running mate this time):



I came within a point of winning MS and OK as well, and just about a point of winning AK.

[Alben Barkley]

Won 1912 as Roosevelt/La Follette on Normal. All came down to New York, which I won by half a point. Arizona was an even closer win.

Kickass realistic Gore/Graham map on Normal:

Won OTL+FL as Biden/Demings, I wonder what the takes on FL's trend would be with this margin?

Probably that it would be very competitive in 2024.

Played as Romney/Trump normal difficulty. Very realistic map, although Florida would've had a chance of flipping if Trump was able to hammer Obama on relaxing the Cuban embargo, but we'll assume Obama will narrowly win it since Romney was running and not Trump.

2008 Clinton vs. Giuliani: reddit.com/r/thecampaigntrail/comments/phx1t5/2008_clinton_vs_giuliani_mod/


Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY)/Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) - 310EV 51.7%
Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) - 228EV 46.6%

Strange map. Bush 04 + MI,PA - CO,NM

[Alben Barkley]

Fairly realistic Clinton/Kaine 2008 map vs. Giuliani IMO (Normal difficulty):



Wish I'd campaigned more in North Carolina though; it was extremely close and I probably could have won it if I spammed most of my visits there. Spent more time trying to lock down places like the Virginias which didn't end up all that close anyway.

2020; the media declared Biden dead after he forgot the name of his running mate Kamala Harris, yet nonetheless he managed to shock everyone again and defeat Donald Trump

[Vice President Christian Man]

Played as Bush/Perot and managed to beat Clinton in a landslide. I don't think this was a realistic map overall, I think in a realistic scenario, Clinton would've taken the contiguous West Coast, NV, AZ, NM, MO (narrowly), and NC, as well as DE, NJ, and New England minus NH+ME, while Bush (Perot) would've taken MS,AL,GA & SC. Otherwise this was a strange result and could've been an alternative history Southern Strategy never happened scenario where Bill Clinton chose someone like Mario Cuomo to be his running mate.
