In this world, Obama decides to run for the 2006 Illinois Gubernatorial Election instead of the 2004 Senate Election and Bernie Sanders is able to (just barely) primary out Leahy to become the Class 3 Senator from Vermont. In 2008, McCain wins the GOP Nomination but decides against to pick Joe Lieberman as his VP while Hillary Clinton, who is nominated by the Dems thanks to Obama not being there, has her running mate be Evan Bayh. Meanwhile, Donald Trump announces he's running for President in November of 2006 shortly after the 2006 Midterms and stays in the race, building momentum for Election Day with his new created Political Alliance, being the Patriot Coalition (A Coalition made up of the Constitution, American Independent, New York Conservative, Prohibition, and other Right-Wing Parties) that brings a more Old Right/Paleoconservative platform for the election and he has Sarah Palin as his running mate in a way to double down. At the same time, Bernie Sanders, who had initially run as a Democrat but dropped out after three months was convinced by advisers to run third party, leading the Workingman's Coalition (Vermont Progressives, Peace and Freedom, Legal Marijuana Now, Working Families, Green, Socialism and Libertarian, Oregon Progressive, Green Mountain Peace and Justice, Labor, Communist USA, Socialist Workers, Workers World, Progressive Labor, Socialist Equality, Freedom Socialist, Socialist USA, Socialist Action, Socialist Alternative, United States Pirate, and other minor Left-Wing Parties) while Ron Paul, who initially considered a GOP bid, is the Libertarian Nominee for President. Sanders has Michigan Congressman and (former) DSA Member John Conyers as his running mate and Ron Paul has Wayne Alllyn Root as his VP. All five candidates reach the debate stage and the five top issues are Housing, Immigration, Trade, Iraq and Afghanistan/America's Position on the World Stage, and Infrastructure. What does the EC, NPV, and Nation look like (Also, candidates run third party as a member of the Patriot Coalition or Workingman's Coalition to support their candidate with promises that, when elected, they will be a new voice that supports their President in Congress and some members of Congress, like Jeff Sessions, Marsha Blackburn, Jimmy Duncan, Jeff Miller, Bill Shuster, and Virgil Goode join Trump's Coalition while Brad Miller, Peter Welch (who replaced Sanders in 2005), Marcy Kaptur, Raul Grijalva, and Keith Ellison joins Sanders' Coalition, so what does the House, Senate, and Governor's Map look like)?

I would assume a very narrow Donald Trump victory, as most Americans are at their core right wing populists with communitarian leanings.

What would you say is the EC and NPV? I assume Trump wins the South and Plains but I'm unsure what the rest of the map looks like.
