2016: A Sudden and Dramatic Realignment

FreedomHawk (R-CT)'s economic pragmatism with a libertarian flavor proved popular nationwide. It was his stance on social issues that became the problem. His anti-religious attitude and social liberalism lost him, albeit narrowly, normal strongholds like Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and even, in a shocker, Utah, where MormDem (D-CA) was able to rally enough fellows of his faith to eek out a win, though all of their Republican representatives were still re-elected. On the flip side, Hawk's social liberalism and reaching out to minorities and common workers in unions granted him the ability to flip places like Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin, and hold on to the bluing Georgia, thus winning him the election despite his loss of regular gurantees.

Governor MormDem (D-CA): 47.67% (229 EV)
Senator FreedomHawk (R-CT): 50.14% (309 EV)

Senator Fred Hawkins (R-NH)/ Governor Michael Goldwater (R-WA) - 275 EV
Senator Lloyd David Smith (D-VA)/ Senator Tom Davis (D-SD) - 263 EV

Hawkins' selective pick of his old friend, Governor Goldwater, not only was an ideological match, but also allowed the duo to successfully campaign with their unique brand of libertarianism in Washington and Oregon, with the former flipping only due to the small homestate advantage of the Vice President to be. Their embrace of social libertarianism also wins Hawkins' homestate of New Hampshire and old childhood home of Maine's Second District, where he campaigned extensively and ended up comfortably winning. However, this social liberalism also cost him Mississippi and Georgia and Virginia, where the socially conservative Smith/Davis ticket appealed to swing voters in the rapidly diversifying states. Pennsylvania goes Smith's way on the venue of appealing to socially conservative Pennsyltucky and fortifying the Philadelphia and Pittsburg strongholds. This liberalism also severely tightened Alabama, Arkansas, and Missouri, which only went their way due to party loyalist voters. Utah also only goes to them by 10 points. They manage to win Florida, Arizona, and New Mexico by appealing to Hispanics with their moderate stances on immigration, and in the first case, opposition to raising the retirement age. On Smith's side, his appeal to unions and economic progressivism manage to win him the majority of the Midwest and also seriously contest Appalachia for the first time in a while.
