The New Campaign Trail

[Alben Barkley]

I also just played again as Trump. Literally all I did was choose what I thought were the least r-tarded answers for every question and was able to win both bigger than he did in 2016 and outright win the popular vote.

Almost like Trump is the biggest r-tard to ever hold the office of the presidency and could easily have won again if not for that or something.

[Schiff for Senate]

Just played 1980 as Carter a few times. I lost both times but did quite well. The level was the default normal and elecotral votes were distributed in the typical winner-take-all fashion. Unfortunately, I accidentally reloaded the tab with the results. The good news is that I had most of the results already memorized and only missed out on KY, DE and MO:



To my surprise I actually flipped a state Democratic from 1976 - Connecticut (was a Ford/Reagan state in reality, but in this game it turned out to be a Ford/Carter state).

[Vice President Christian Man]

Played Ted Kennedy as the "anti-Reagan". Did better than Carter but still lost by a decent margin.

Got this map playing as Dukakis.

[GregTheGreat657]

Played Bush/Eastwood 1988 and got this (kind of) cursed map:

States within 5%: New York, Washington, Louisiana, New Mexico, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, California, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Oregon, Arkansas, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Hawaii, North Carolina, Colorado
Tipping Point State: Texas
Closest State by Percentage: New York - R + 0.38% ( + 23,710 votes )

And thus, the great populist age began!

[Vice President Christian Man]

Ran as Trump/Sanders 2016 and won easily:

Where's the Trump/Sanders option?

[Chips]

Ran as Trump/Sanders 2016 and won easily:

Where's the Trump/Sanders option?

It's a mod I think.

[Politician]

Ran as Trump/Sanders 2016 and won easily:

Where's the Trump/Sanders option?

It's a mod I think.

It requires changing the game code; each running mate is represented by a number, and I changed Pence's number to Sanders.

[Chips]

Georgia 2018 mods are now an actual county map.

Also, new feature: Now it tells you the amount of votes each state/county has.

[LAB-LIB]

My biggest win as Dukakis on normal so far.

Vice President George Bush (R-TX)/Senator Dan Quayle (R-IN): 104 electoral votes/42,023,404 votes (45.5%)

[LAB-LIB]

Ran as Trump/Sanders 2016 and won easily:

The populist Unity ticket

[Pres Mike]

I played Biden on easily and picked the best answer for each question. On election day I was leading in every swing state. Even in places like Missouri and Alaska.

And got the exact same map as real life...

That's the gimmick of 2020. To represent real life polls, Biden gets overinflated numbers in most states.

That's a problem I have win the campaign trail. The 2000, 2016, and now 2020 scenarios seemed biased towards the real life scenarios. No matter what you do, you get similar results to real life. I first noticed this in 2015 when they did a Gore scenario.

[Pink Panther]

Played the Trump 2008 mod with Colbert as my running mate. Here were my results:

Some weird things happened when you played the game yesterday. States would always switch around. (When you click on where Ohio should be it might actually have the stats of Illinois, go to the map again and it might have the stats of Colorado and so on) When you went to a state in place of the state name it'll be a random word. (You have chosen to visit door -- is this correct?) Also, Hawaii's shape took the form of a crewmate/impostor from Among Us.

Yeah that was an April Fool's prank. It wasn't funny in my view because I really wanted to play 1956 Eisenhower that day. It's back to normal now fortunately.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Won 279-259 with Clinton/Kaine. Election pivoted on PA, which was only 2,000 votes (or less than 0.1%). Hillary won the PV by 4,000,000, however.

There's now a 2018 Senate mod for Tennessee as Bredesen

I've played 3 times on normal so far, and my best game was losing by 4.2% and winning Knox and Montgomery on top of the OTL map
