1888 U.S. Presidential Election

[Zioneer]

As of right now, 12-12-12 tie.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I voted Vance to break the tie!

[Meursault]

The People's Alliance slate.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Not-Cleveland-mentum!

[Dereich]

Geez, I feel bad for Dallasfan. He's going to have to jump through hoops to explain Cleveland mysteriously losing 20% of the electorate while the great war hero only does ok and a mostly dead party comes magically back to life.

Well, he did mention an economic downturn, so maybe it's more serious than it appears?

If the election does go to the House, wouldn't it need to be the second round of the House vote (so that we don't just redo the election with the same candidates).

Custer!

Sounds good. I assume the first vote would be something along those lines. So would Cleveland be eliminated from the second round as the lowest vote getter?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

If we assume the first House round would be just like this (which it almost certainly will be) and that Custer and Vance go to the second round, and therefore that we bosses are to be kingmakers, I propose a Vance/Smith unity ticket (and possibly a merger).

I dunno how much influence we actually have, but if we can decide that, that sounds alright. I assume it'd be called the People's Alliance?

I think the good course now would be for the Destiny and Whig parties to merge into the PA.

Despite being a Whig who played a leading role in the opposition to a merger in this election, I am inclined to agree barring a completely unexpected development or candidate (btw, I thought the destiny party already merged).  However, if there isn't a merger, I'd like to add as a note to the author that Bryan should probably be an option at both party's conventions since he ran for (and won) both the Democratic and Populist nominations IRL.  Additionally, Vance should probably be an option for The People's Alliance if there is a merger, its hard to imagine that an incumbent President's party would merge and ditch him/her entirely.  Of course, this all assumes Vance wins which is far from certain   We certainly got an exciting election though
