2020: Clinton/Kaine v. Sandoval/Daniels

[Kingpoleon]

Let's say Mitch Daniels runs for Senate in 2018 and wins.

Former Governor Brian Sandoval runs for the Republican nomination. He wins it against Senators Tim Scott and Joni Ernst. Ernst wins Iowa, Minnesota and the Rust Belt(IN, MI, OH, WI) and the western parts of the South(AR, KY, MO, OK, TN, TX). Scott, meanwhile wins the Mid Atlantic(DE, MD, PA, VA) and the eastern South(AL, FL, GA, MS, NC, SC). However, Sandoval wins New England, New York and New Jersey alongside the states west of Texas and such to win the nomination. To unite libertarians and the base, he picks Senator Mitch Daniels as his running mate.

The keynote speakers are James Stavridis and Barbara Comstock

[President Johnson]

I'm sure that unless the GOP nominates another jerk like Cruz in 2020, Hillary will be an one-termer. Someone like Sandoval (or guys like Baker, Hogan, Haley) would beat her. However, I think Sandoval would likely pick someone like Rubio, Ernst or Sasse as VP.

Former Governor Brian Sandoval (R-NV)/Senator Mitch Daniels (R-IN): 295 EV. (50.78%)
President Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Vice President Tim Kaine (D-VA): 243 EV. (46.97%)

Gov. Brian Sandoval (R-NV)/Sen. Mitch Daniels (R-IN): 310 EVs
President Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Vice President Tim Kaine (D-VA): 228 EVs

This election would probably be the last time a Republican would win Colorado for a while.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Let me play devil's advocate:

Would this maybe cause the SoCons to flock en masse to a third party?

Close election, edge to Sandoval but barely.
