Both Clinton and Trump drop out the day before the election, so their votes are ignored and Johnson and Stein become the two main options.

Johnson: 359
Stein: 180

Generic Gilded Age Swing States

[mencken]

Cruz vs Kasich vs Rubio

[bagelman]

D-MA / D-FL 425 vs. R-AR / R-IN 113. An alternate 2016 in which a socially liberal democrat who won in '12 and is very popular and respected by large segments of society faced off against a family values George W. Bush esque Republican who is blind to the President's popularity along with many other things. This is the last stand of the GWB socially conservative Evangelical big government wing of the Republicans in this world ; in 2020 the mainstream Republican party would be small government social moderates who are still able to beat down the growing nativist and economic nationalist political insurgency.

1988 vs 2008 (by today's standards)

R wins by 272.

How the heck 7 pint leads combined became  Dubya-esque victory maps for the GOP is beyond me.

1988 vs 2008 (by today's standards)

R wins by 272.

How the heck 7 pint leads combined became  Dubya-esque victory maps for the GOP is beyond me.

Demographics changed since 1988.

IIRC Romney actually needed even MORE white voters in 2012 than Reagan did in 1984.
