2016: Corbyn (D) vs. May (R)

[Tekken_Guy]

Let's say Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May were American politicians running for President. Who would win and what would the map look like?

432: Governor Theresa May(R-VA)/Senator Jeff Flake(R-AZ)
106: Representative Jeremy Corbyn(D-CA)/Mayor Bill De Blasio(D-NY)


Unless Corbyn really managed to pull off a Trump, he wouldn't stand a chance.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Rep. Jeremy Corbyn (D-MI) / Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) - 296 votes, 49.3%
Sec. Theresa May (R-NC) / Gov. Brian Sandoval (R-NV) - 242 votes, 48.5%

Assuming they hold all the same views as they do IRL:

One would think they're both from New England.

Corbyn - 272 - 50%
May - 266 - 48%

VA is incredibly close.

Yeah, just like how Sanders came so close to beating Hillary in Virginia.

Clinton /=/ May
Democratic primary /=/ general election

Your point?

I never said that May = Clinton.

What I am saying is that Corbyn's economic message has many parallels with that of Sanders, and that in Virginia an uber-progressive/socialist message on economics does not fly. It does not even make it out of the hangar.

In fact, outsider candidates in general do not tend to do well in Virginia. Corbyn is nothing if not an outsider candidate.

If you would like that concept to be communicated in another way, just look at Northam v. Periello (in some ways a relitigation of the 2016 presidential primary) or Gillespie + Warner v. Stewart, though in the case of the latter Stewart was able to narrow the margin by playing on cultural resentment very much native to some Virginians.

Unless Corbyn reveals himself to be a Confederate sympathizer, there is no way Virginia is going to be "incredibly close". In fact, Virginia is more likely to be to May as Iowa was to Trump in 2016.

Even if he did reveal himself to be a Confederate sympathizer, it still would not be close, lol.
