If the 2016 Presidential Election is held in current conditions, who wins? (You choose the running mate).

I think Bill Nelson could slightly win Florida, and he could make some states like West Virginia, Georgia, and Missouri closer due to his folksy roots.

Florida Senator Bill Nelson/California Attorney General Kamala Harris-323 EV
Florida Senator Marco Rubio/Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker-215 EV

That is Generic D versus a weak R opponent. Marco Rubio is an incredibly weak nominee.

Nelson would probably be able to carry Florida, and thus the election. Rubio will be a pretty good candidate in the 2020s, but 2016 is probably too early for him.

Rubio wins because Bill Nelson doesn't stand for anything. He voted to permanently repeal the estate tax.

Yes, because Marco Rubio is a beacon of principle and political courage.

Probably it'd be a repeat of 2012 electorally.

Huh

What's funny about something that's objectively true?

I mostly agree with that assessment, but Nelson might be able to peel off North Carolina, given this matchup, a narrow Nelson victory in the state seems plausible.

The man is very charismatic, young and attractive, is no longer a complete lightweight when it comes to domestic policy, where the country is going on foreign policy and Hispanic. He's got to sort out his position on immigration reform and battle the rumors that go along with being Florida Speaker, but other than that he's a quality candidate. Getting 50% in a race against a rising Dem star and the current governor of your own party is no mean feat.
