Played as Wallace in 1972 and picked Jackson. Ran more like Jimmy Carter would have on racial issues rather than Wallace and nearly managed to win

Played as Bush/Quayle in 1992 and attacked Clinton hard and ended up winning. Of course I did get some luck as Clinton Arsenio Hall appearance ended up being a disaster and Perot ended up hurting Clinton more than Bush

Won with Reagan-Schweiker in 76 on the first attempt on a moderate-conservative platform. Also fun fact I only lost FL by 32 votes lol(So FL was FL but it didnt matter). I visited Texas a lot and it looked like it paid off as I would have absolutely lost without TX(Which I ended up winning by 4.5 points) though Id have lost without MS too and I didnt visit it.

Though one thing I feel didnt make much sense is me losing NY by only 0.9 points more than MI(3.5 points in MI vs 4.4 in NY) as I believe Reagan in 1980 loses NY by upper single digits even if he won.

I think this is the first time I won as Stevenson/Barkley 1952 on Normal, no cheats. This was the map:



Closest state was Maryland, which I won by fewer than 400 votes. Tipping point state was New York, which I won by 0.68% and about 51,000 votes.

I lost the NPV 50.1-49.5%, about 437,000 votes.

You also lost your most hated state as well so congrats lol

Won with Taft in a no Teddy scenario but it was much tougher than I first thought given I still lost the PV by nearly 2 points and came close to losing the election

Won with Tucker/DeSantis in the Upon a Cross with Globalization Scenario and won with GA GOP while MN/MI are dem.



I had 288 with this map , meaning they had winner take all in Nebraska and Maine otherwise I win with 286.

Basically I won by moderating sort on some of the charged rhetoric while still attacking wokeness, neoliberalism and corporatism.



Here are how some of the battlegrounds went:


TX: Tucker+ 4.9
FL : Tucker+8
GA : Tucker +3.1
PA: Tucker+5
WI: Tucker+3

MI: Newsom + 1.1
MN: Newsom +2
AZ: Newsom+ 0.1
NV: Newsom +0.8

NH: Tucker +2.8
ME: Tucker+ 6.7
NC: Tucker+ 9.3


Btw I lost the popular vote by 2.3 and this is the message

Quote
CARLSON SCRAPES BY WITH AN ELECTORAL COLLEGE MAJORITY! PROTESTS SWEEP THE NATION!
You’ve done it. After 16 long years of Democratic rule, the White House is back in Republican hands. However, it was a very close shave and a few thousand votes swinging the other way could have easily made Newsom the winner and you almost certainly lost the popular vote. Democrats are already demanding recounts, but they’re unlikely to affect anything right now and after receiving a discouraged concession call from Newsom, protests of ‘Not My President!’ swept the nation. It seems your fiery style of politics has been validated as it’s returned the GOP to the White House when the neoconservatism of Paul Ryan couldn’t.

Unfortunately, your approval ratings are negative before you even begin your term, so you’ll have to change certain parts of the electoral college to ensure those illegal, Un-American immigrants don’t vote you out of office. Rest assured, with the current Republican supermajorities, you should have no problems passing anything you need to. If you get those voting reforms done along with new Supreme Court Justices to confirm them, you should easily crush any one of those woke Democrats who challenge you in 2028. Here’s to you, President Carlson!

They added a Jeb Mod for 2016 and I ended up winning a landslide With Jeb !!!




This is how I did in the battlegrounds:

Florida: Jeb +14.4
North Carolina: Jeb +10.1
Virginia: Jeb +1.6
Maine: Jeb +3.9
New Hampshire: Jeb +5.9
Pennsylvania: Jeb +7.1
Ohio: Jeb +18.9
Michigan: Jeb +6.5
Wisconsin: Jeb +8.5
Minnesota: Jeb +5.2
Colorado: Jeb +0.2
Nevada: Jeb +3.1

New Mexico: Hillary +2.1
Oregon: Hillary +4.2



This is what the winning prompt says:

Quote
Jeb Bush wins in a landslide!
You couldn’t believe it, you see states that even modest pollsters couldn’t see you winning as they go to Jeb Bush. As the results are finished, it’s clear that Americans aren’t as opposed to another Bush getting to the presidency.

On the political front, the MAGA Republicans are not much of a threat as your victory sees moderate Republicans come out of the woodwork to support you, although Ted Cruz wouldn’t hurt to have as your Vice President. It also looks like Republicans will win the Senate, meaning you can accomplish your agenda without much backlash, although you don’t want that to get to your head.

If all goes well you can certainly see yourself getting a second term, but let's not get ahead of ourselves as your first term is yet to begin.

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger(R-CA)/Ohio Governor John Kasich(R-OH) 321 52.4%

Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm(D-MI)/Senator Bob Casey(D-PA) 217 47.6%

Won by George W Bush type margins in the South/Interior West(except like VA) but was able to do better on the coasts than any GOPer since 1988 as not only was Arnold able to win ME/NH/NJ/OR but he was extremely close in CT/DE too.
