1968-2020: How I wish they went

[BushKerry04]

In designing this, I based it solely on announced candidates/hypothetical general election match-ups each year and show how I would have liked the results to have looked. I'm not basing each subsequent result on the prior election's results.

1968:

1972:

1976:

1980:

1984:

1988:

1992:

1996:

2000:

2004:

2008:

2012:

2016:

2020:

Not gonna do maps here and also gonna keep this semi realistic so I wont keep the GOP to Dem win ratio at more than 2:1.


1968: Nixon over Humphrey
1972: Nixon over McGovern
1976: Jackson over Ford
1980: Reagan over Brown
1984: Reagan over Hollings
1988: HW over Gore
1992: Clinton over HW
1996: Clinton over Dole
2000: Bush over Gore
2004: Bush over Gephardt
2008: Obama over McCain
2012: Romney over Obama
2016: Kasich over Clinton
2020: Bloomberg over Trump


So 9 GOP wins to 5 Dem ones and the 5 Dem ones are the one I would have the least problem with the GOP losing without hindsight(otherwise 2004 and 2008 would be flipped for sure)

I can respect this.

My battery is running out and I'm lazy to make so many elections.

Here's 1972 from the perspective of a WWC populist (what I would do in the US)

Looks good!
