If this discussion has already taken place or if this is the wrong board for a thread like this, I apologize in advance.

But I was wondering what people thought the maps would be like for the following matchups:

Hillary Clinton vs. Marco Rubio

Hillary Clinton vs. Ted Cruz

Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush

Hillary Clinton vs. John Kasich

Hillary Clinton vs. Rand Paul

Bernie Sanders vs. Donald Trump

Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump

I think it's more interesting to contemplate how a female Democratic nominee other than Clinton would have done.  What if Clinton doesn't run, and Warren had won the nomination?  Or Kirsten Gillibrand?  Or what if Obama had picked Kathleen Sebelius as his running mate in 2008 (she was on the short list after all, so this isn't a far-fetched scenario), and she was the presidential nominee in 2016?

Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.

Rubio, Bush, Kasich, and Paul would have beaten Hillary. Sanders and Biden would have beaten Trump.

Hillary Clinton vs. Marco Rubio: Massive EV/PV blowout for Rubio.
Hillary Clinton vs. Ted Cruz: In the battle of the Iowa Caucus winners, Clinton would've won, as Cruz's religious right demeanor wouldn't have played well in the Midwestern states that Trump won.
Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush: [Bill] Clinton's legacy holds up more positively than that of Bush 43's.
Hillary Clinton vs. John Kasich: Kasich would've won more EVs and likely PV too.
Hillary Clinton vs. Rand Paul: Very iffy, but Clinton would win in a nailbiter.
Hillary Clinton vs. Carly Fiorina: The battle for the right to be America's 1st female President would end up in favor of Clinton.
Hillary Clinton vs. Chris Christie: Christie's Bridgegate scandal would've devastated him.
Hillary Clinton vs. Ben Carson: Hillary would've had 400+ EVs and a massive PV win.
Bernie Sanders vs. Donald Trump: Likely would've won WI, PA, and MI. Ohio and Iowa would've been closer or even possible Sanders wins (in IA's case).
Bernie Sanders vs. Ted Cruz: Cruz would've narrowly pulled out a win, as his RR base would be very fired up.
Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump: Had this scenario happen, then Biden would've won.

Winner in bold.

Hillary Clinton vs. Marco Rubio

it could go either way depending on how Hillary responds differently. Clinton would have perceived him as more of a threat than Trump, but would he really have been a paper tiger?



Hillary Clinton vs. Ted Cruz



Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush

Hillary Clinton vs. John Kasich



Hillary Clinton vs. Rand Paul

dunno

Bernie Sanders vs. Donald Trump



Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump

Biden probably wins big
