Absolute Chaos: The 2016 Presidential ElectionAfter intense primary fights for both parties, the more radical elements of the Democrats and Republicans both revolt. Tea Party Republicans are upset at Governor Bigby (R - GA) for his liberal views on social issues and foreign policy. As a result, Governor Mike Huckabee (R - AR) runs under a 3rd party naming themselves the "Conservative Party." Meanwhile, Senator MormDem (D - CA) wins a similar upset in the Democratic primary, but faces similar challenges from the far left in his party due to his socially conservative leanings and his religious affiliation. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D - MA) runs under the "Progressive Party" banner in response. On Election Day, both mainstream parties hold on surprisingly well, and even win in states they normally wouldn't due to the calamity of the election. However, no one achieves an electoral majority. Will MormDem or Bigby strike a deal together, or will someone reach out to Mike Huckabee first? Both chambers of Congress are Republicans, but many conservative Republicans have already pledged to not support Bigby, and several liberal Democrats have made the same vow against MormDem.
