Jeff Sessions

[Dixie Reborn]

Obviously Sessions is going to lose to Victor Sanchez Williams in a massive landslide this November, but if he somehow returns to congress next year and decides to run for president, how would he fare against:

-Hillary Clinton
-Martin O'Malley
-Bernie Sanders
-Joe Biden
-Generic Democrat

Discuss with Maps!

btw it will look like this when against Generic D:

btw it will look like this when against Generic D a Sanders/Collins ticket if a scandal broke in late October that they co-ran a child-trafficking service for Iran:

lol

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Lol at a self-proclaimed Socialist winning an election in the US.

You're correct, Sanders would have no chance in normal circumstances. But Jeff Sessions as his opponent is not a normal circumstance.

[KCDem]

Jeff Sessions would be lucky to win more than 5 states.

[dmmidmi]

It is very possible that I won't see a President from Alabama in my lifetime.

[MATTROSE94]

Jeff Sessions would do very well in parts of the South (namely Alabama (he'd most likely get close to 70% of the vote there given that it is his home state), South Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, etc.) and in some of the Western states like Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, but that's probably about it.

[King]

He'd really be able to speak to the old Southern white men that have grown distrustful of conservatives and swing them back into the GOP tent.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

lol?

[Mr. Illini]

vs. Hillary

399 / 139

vs. Generic D

373 / 165

[Landslide Lyndon]

It would be highly embarrassing for America if an unreconstructed racist like Sessions carried more than 5-6 states.

[Suburbia]

Sessions is a tough debater. He knows how to play to audiences, but he may be unelectable.

[Senate Minority Leader Lord Voldemort]

He'd really be able to speak to the old Southern white men that have grown distrustful of conservatives and swing them back into the GOP tent.

Plus, a vicious racist could never get elected today.

[Mr. Smith]

Sessions vs Clinton would be a Democratic 49 state win,...and like McGovern he'd probably lose his home state by a narrow margin.

Only Mississippi would vote for him.

He'd get Goldwater results against O'Malley or Biden.

And with Bernie Sanders, he'd get a flip of the 1928 election,except instead of Massachusetts and Rhode Island,he'd probably just barely get Utah and Idaho

Mississippi has a much higher percentage of African Americans, and Mississippi is consistently 4-5 percentage points more Democratic than Alabama, so if anything, he'd lose Mississippi first.

Also the only candidate Hillary could possibly win against in Alabama is Cruz, yet he is pretty much tied with Hillary in Mississippi, meaning that he's most likely a few points ahead of her in Alabama.

I really don't see how Jeff Sessions would lose a state that Obama lost by over 20 points (Alabama), but carry a state that Obama only lost by about 12 points (Mississippi). Realistically, if Jeff Sessions were to only carry one state, it would probably be Oklahoma.

No way. Sessions would easily win Alabama, the Mormon Belt (UT/ID/WY), Oklahoma, and Texas. I don't really see why most of Appalachia wouldn't support him either, though that's more debatable.

The map is basically an inverse of 1936. You could do better.

I could show a map with the Republican winning only Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and the Third Congressional District of Nebraska. 

Maybe for Ted Cruz I could show an electoral map in which he wins his own state and roughly 47 other electoral votes -- which is one way to describe how Goldwater fared in 1964. Texas has 38 electoral votes instead of the five that Goldwater's Arizona had to offer in 1964...

Jeff Sessions is a Southern reactionary who will have little appeal in most of America outside of Dixie. Just look at the polls for Huckabee outside the South, which are awful. 

He would lose Florida and Virginia, by the way.

[Del Tachi]

It is very possible that I won't see a President from Alabama in my lifetime.

Same could be said of Hawaii, Vermont, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, etc...

[Indy Texas]

The fact that his name is Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III just makes it better. It's like he sprung forth from William Faulkner's imagination fully formed.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Grits, eggs and sausage

[MATTROSE94]

This is what Hillary Clinton's ceiling would likely be if she faced off against Jeff Sessions:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Senator Mark Warner (D-VA): 430 Electoral Votes
Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL)/Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX): 108 Electoral Votes
