Post the map of an election between the two preceding posters

[White Trash]

Senator Tim Turner/Senator Jim Webb - 362 EVs - 53.1%
Governor Leinad Daniel/ Representative Peter King - 176 EVs - 45.8%

Senator Tim Turner runs a populist campaign with the Mississippi river forming his base. Governor Leinad emphasizes economic issues and his ability to get bipartisan support in Congress. Republicans over-perform with Hispanics, but under-perform badly with Southern whites and Texans. Campaign has very high turnout for both parties.

[Mr. Smith]

Democratic Primary:

Senator Tim Turner and Governor John Dixie "Southern" Gothic duke it out in a heated primary that becomes a primary of character and personality rather than actual issue divides. They face off with Bernie Sanders, a more progressive guy more enticing to the Northeast. Ultimately, Governor Gothic cannot shed his image as a provincial candidate and Senator Sanders is of course Sanders...this allows Senator Turner to sweep pretty much all the primaries and caucuses after pulling a convincing second between the clashes of Gothic and Sanders.

[Crumpets]

The progressive wing of the Democratic party is purged under the Trump presidency, and the Democrats are forced to nominate two moderates lest their party become officially labeled an enemy of the state. The divide is mainly regional with Virginia Governor Lehi Dallin Smith doing well in the mid-Atlantic and West, and Louisiana Senator Samuel Beauregard Gotham cleaning it up in the South.

[White Trash]

Senator L.D. Smith runs a campaign focusing on economic issues and being socially pragmatic. Portrays himself as some one willing to cooperate and work with the Republicans in general and the Religious Right in particular. House Minority Leader Thomas "Biscuit" Biscotti runs a very liberal campaign, advocating for the rights of labor and industry. Wins over upper New England the Midwest while Senator Smith takes the South and the  Mountain West.

[Clark Kent]

Southern Gothic narrowly edges out Thinking Crumpets Crumpet for the Democratic nomination.

[Leinad]

(FYI, I wouldn't pick Peter King for a dodgeball team, much less the Vice Presidency! )

Senator Clark Kent (R-CT)/Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) 269 EVs (48.6%)
Governor Sam Gothic (D-LA)/Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) 269 EVs (48.9%)

Gothic ran a populist campaign, winning over many Southern voters yet struggling to turn out progressives, while Kent ran a socially moderate campaign which did well in the north and west but hurt him with conservatives in the south.

Kent ended up winning in the Republican-controlled house.

[White Trash]

( Peter King is kinda goofy. I was just taking Tim Turner's suggestion for your running mate )

Governor Daniel Leinad runs a Rand Paul-esque campaign and sweeps the West and uses Appalachia as his firewall. Senator Clark Kent wins over the Northeast and the Plains, presenting himself as a traditionalist compared to the Governor's libertarianism. Senator Kent gets the backing of the party establishment and receives the nod at the RNC.

[P123]

Governor Leinand (R-GA) 249Ev 48%
Southern Gothic (D-LS) 285Ev 51%

(forgot to adjust some % shading for Kentucky)

Leninand runs a libertarian Rand Paul like campaign, with Gothic running as a fiscally progressive socially moderate campaign. With no third parties allowed, many southern Democrats return to their party with Leninand picking up many Independents in states such as Colorado and New Hampshire.

[ElectionsGuy]

P123 (R-HI): 272, 48.9%
Southern Gothic (D-LA): 266, 49.2%

[This account no longer in use.]

P123 narrowly defeats ElectionsGuy by racking up delegates in the most populous states. ElectionsGuy wins California, but it's too little, too late.

[Goldwater]

The candidates similarity on most issues leads to the election primarily being focused on economics, where Smith's moderate stances wins out over Election Guy's more hardline right wing views.

Smith (D-MA) - 353 Evs
Election's Guy (R-WI) - 185 EVs

[Higgs]

Goldwater (R-WA) 312 EV (53% PV)
Smith (D-MA) 226 EV (46% PV)

[Kingpoleon]

Joseph Higgs(45.6%)
Nathaniel Goldwater(40.0%)
Tim Scott(12.7%)

368: Higgs/Scott(55.5%)
170: Wyden/De Blasio(42.1%)

[Goldwater]

2016 Republican Primaries:

Higgs
Kingpoleon

[bagelman]

The count is very close in FL, with Goldwater having campaigned in the state, and he has not yet formally conceded as a recount is possible

[Kingpoleon]

300: Gov. Bag Elman(D-OH)/Sen. Joseph Manchin(D-WV) - 53.1%
238: Sen. "Gold" Water(R-WA)/Sen. Lisa Murkowski(R-AK) - 44.4%

[Derpist]

238: Governor Noah S. Napoleon (R-NJ)/Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) - 44.1%
300: President Bag Elman (D-OH)/Sen. Joseph Manchin (D-WV) - 49.4%

The election narrowly avoids possibly going to the House of Representatives after incumbent President Elman carries Wisconsin and Iowa by a close margin, though Elman loses Indiana very narrowly.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Derpist despite not holding any political office before surprisingly won the Dem primaries. He quickly attacked the Obama administration for selling out  to the elites in this country . On the domestic and economic promised to raise the min wage, raise taxes on multinational corporations , and enact campaign finance reforms. He also attacked the Obama admin immigration policy , and saying that illegal immigrants depress wages for working class folks and benefit corporations , and promised to secure the border by building a wall deporting illegals and end all the unfair trade deals causing jobs to go overseas. Lastly he attacked the establishment for staying in a cold war mindset and promised to improve relations with Russia. He attacks moderate hero calling him a war monger , and the establishment we wanna defeat and mentions the fact that he didnt win the most delegates in the GOP primary , and infact lost to trump but worked with GOP to win at the convention calling that elitest. 

On the GOP side Governor of Oregon Moderate Hero campigned on drastically cutting the budget, attacking the deficit as bankrupting the country. He also promised to cut taxes for the middle class saying that anyone making less then 125,000 should not pay more then 20% of their income in taxes. He also announced that subsidies to big corporations should end and promises to reform the welfare system so people on welfare get job training . His education policy was cutting spending of worthless degrees and using those funds to fund trade schools to bring back blue collar jobs He also planned to limit the size of government by repealing the patriot act, leaving issues like pot, and many other crime related issues to the states.  He also called for a WW2 type of coalition to destroy groups like ISIS . He said his policy will take out terrorist training camps  where ever they exist but unlike before not seek a policy of regime change which means we will destroy the camps in individual countries while leaving their governments in place.

Results: In a major change from 2012 moderate hero won over 2/3 of the hispanic vote , won 25% of the black votes, 70% of asians but did very poorly with working class whites which caused the Mountain West to flip and taking back a lot of the south

Gov Moderate Hero: 316
Derpist 222

Franklin Roosevelt decides not to run for a third term.  Popular business magnate Edgar Royce Lewis, called The Piston for his famous piston cars, takes the nomination.  Lewis is a follower of the late Huey Long, and advoacates for many fascist and socialist positions.  Most controversially, he has suggested the conquest of Mexico.  This has caused some to label him "Der Piston", later shortened to "Der Pist".

His opponent is Oregon Governor Arlow Mo'Drat, a moderate Republican who is known for his strong interventionist stance.  He is outclassed by the firebrand "Der Pist".  "Der Pist" sweeps the nation on election day.  Mo'Drat gets only 69 electoral votes.

[White Trash]

Richard Nixon is implicated in a major corruption scandal and is impeached in '71. His Vice President, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve under the Eisenhower administration, Darren Pisterly has never held an elected office. Pisterly is challenged in the primaries by California Governor Ronald Reagan and Texas Congressmen George Bush. Despite losing a majority of the delegates, the Vice President is nominated at a brokered convention. During the general campaign VP. Pisterly does his best to maintain the Republican brand and largely campaigns out West, hoping to counter the rising momentum of the Libertarian Party.

Virginia Governor Bufford "Beaver" DuPoineau is nominated by the Democratic party's Southern and Moderate blocs after a close but civil race against South Dakota Senator George McGovern. Bufford does his best to cobble together the old New Deal coalition while launching a series of negative attacks against the GOP concerning the Nixon corruption scandal.

Gov. Bufford "Beaver" DuPoineau (D-VA)/Lester Maddox (D-GA) 281 EVs (53.2%)
VP. Darren Pisterly (R-DC)/ Gov. George Romney (R-MI) 257 EVs (43.1%)

[Kingpoleon]

269: Sen. Be Aver(R-VA)/Gov. Brian Sandoval(R-NV)

[Comrade Funk]

1976

Sen. Kingpoleon (R-NJ)/Sen. Howard Baker (R-TN) - 269 EV
Sen. Southern Gothic (D-LA)/Gov. Hugh Carey (D-NY) - 269 EV

The first tie in presidential history, but Southern Gothic wins the presidency due to a Democratic congress.

1968

Governor Kingo Leopeon (R-NJ)

Running on finding a peaceful end to the Vietnam war, and a moderate course in american politics for stability and bringing the nation together, his message of unity appeals to moderate southerners and northerner alike. He campaigns on managing Johnson's programs efficiently and make sure that it does not get out of control.

Representative Funk Comasle (D-PA)

An activist, vocal against the Vietnam war manages to win the democratic convention. He supports expansive measures to uplift the poor and downtrodden, beheviently supports the war in poverty, and beheventily opposes the Vietnam war and the Johnson's administration's handling of it. He supports peace with the soviets and is seen as a peace candidate. Polls showed him losing the race handily at the start, so he embarked on a more populist message based upon the working class, to get voters back from Wallace and Leopeon while standing firm in opposition to the Vietnam War. He opposes Busing and Affirmative Action, in order to get more working class votes, saying that only upper-class latte liberals support it.

Wallace, is also running and he is wallace.

Governor Kingo Leopeon (R-NJ): 276 EV (43.9%)
Representative Funk Comasle (D-PA): 177 EV (40.3%)
Governor George Wallace (AI-AL): 85 EV (15.8%)
