If your map of elections in 40 years is just 2016 trends extended, you will be wrong.

Reasonable, if pessimistic, result for Sanders:



Yes, I gave Trump MO and GA, and yes, I realize that's unrealistic.


Hahahahaha. The guy who chanted death to the yankees and wrote that women want to be raped will not win a landslide.

A map of my most recent 2016 election scenario ("Rutherford Scenario"), with results by county depicted:



Also can be found here: http://fiction.wikia.com/wiki/File:2016_64%25_Democratic_Landslide.png.

Comments are greatly appreciated. I will be posting more maps associated with it in due course.

You have reposted this same map, or what seems like it, over and over and over again for like a year now.
Seriously, find a new scenario.

I found this on a now-defunct blog, and it's eerily accurate to the actual 2016 results.



What. They missed like half of county flips. They seem to just have done uniform swing by state from polling and used it as an end result.

The 2020 Election in The World Turned Upside Down

President Donald Trump/Secretary of State Michael Pence: 36.09%, 476 electoral votes.
Senator Mitt Romney/Vice President Tim Kaine: 31.90%, 62 electoral votes
Senator Elizabeth Warren/Senator Tammy Baldwin: 32.02%, 0 electoral votes
Anybody want to guess what happened here?

The 2020 Election in The World Turned Upside Down

Senator Mitt Romney/Vice President Tim Kaine: 31.90%, 62 electoral votes
Senator Elizabeth Warren/Senator Tammy Baldwin: 32.02%, 0 electoral votes
Anybody want to guess what happened here?


In 2016, the electoral college is tied. The Republican House selects Trump, the Democratic Senate selects Kaine. Trump chooses his running mate as Secretary of State as compensation. In 2020, Senator Mitt Romney declares an independent campaign and is joined by the Vice President, who adds an even higher profile to the ticket. The dems nominate Progressives Warren and Baldwin, who alienate many moderates who go for Romney. Many independents and moderate Republicans vote for Romney as well (though more dems than reps) and it results in a three-way split, with Trump gathering his loyal base, as well as most evangelicals and strong conservatives, resulting in a weak plurality but a huge electoral college victory.
Obviously though, you way underestimated the democrats. Trump would never win D.C. or Massachussetts in this scenario, and Warren would likely win the pacific coast, Hawaii and most of the northeast at the very least.
The 20% states signed onto the NPVIC, and so gave their electoral votes to Trump because he won the national popular vote, even though Warren won many of them.

Bernie VS Trump 2016
I took the polling of Bernie vs Trump in May 2016 and then brought Trump and Sanders up by the same # of points as the two candidates did in reality (+1.3R, +3.0 Dem) I then did a similar MoE as to what happened in reality. (-1.2 Dem,+2.5 Rep)
That leaves us with a whopping spread of 8.4%. As much of a Bernie lover as I am, that's highly unlikely. However, I still mapped it.

Senator Bernard Sanders/Senator Elizabeth Warren: 51.5%, 411 EV
Businessman Donald J. Trump/Governor Michael Pence: 43.1%, 121 EV
Former Policy Director Evan McMullin/Businesswoman Mandy Finn: .6%, 6 EV
Former Governor Gary Johnson/Former Governor Bill Weld: 3.7%, 0 EV
Attorney Darrell Castle/Businessman Scott Bradley: .4%, 0 EV
Others: .7%
Jill Stein doesn't even get 4th place due to most of her base going to Bernie. Bernie's nomination gets the farther right of america to vote in great plains states, causing Castle to get a commanding 4th place. Bernie splits more votes with Trump in Utah over economic issues, allowing McMullin to win. Alaska very nearly goes to Johnson.

Working on the next update of my TL (it's a big update, so it's gonna take sweet time). A preview:



This is a map, albeit a highly stylized one. Can anyone guess what it is about?

Here are three outcomes of the 2020 presidential election with three different Democratic Nominees, the first one is with Bernie Sanders.
2020 Presidential Election

2020 Presidential Election Results:
Bernie Sanders: 278 Electoral Votes (50% of PV)
Donald Trump: 260 Electoral Votes (49% of PV)

As you can see I believe Sanders can narrowly beat Trump by flipping the three Rust belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin with higher Nonwhite and youth turnout, along with increased support in Rural WWC areas. Trump will make gains in Wealthy, White, suburbs, throughout the sun belt and will thus improve his margins in Florida, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, and Arizona, along with coming closer in Virginia, Colorado, and Nevada, and losing California by 20 points instead of 30. This will have the effect of making him improve in the popular vote (losing it by one instead of two points), while losing the electoral college. The next map is with Cory Booker.
2020 Presidential Election

2020 Presidential Election Results:
Donald Trump: 290 Electoral Votes (48% of PV)
Cory Booker: 248 Electoral Votes (51% of PV)

As you can see, Booker would flip Michigan and hold all the Hillary States due to high turnout from Nonwhites and young voters, However due to his Race he'd fail to make up any ground in Rural WWC areas would doom him in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, while Trump would still narrowly win Florida due to his unwavering support from the high-turnout elderly White population their. Finally, Booker would lose the electoral college with an even bigger popular vote victory then Hillary (three points instead of two) due to him maintaining the support of many Educated White suburbanites along with higher Nonwhite and youth turnout (due to these factors he'd carry California by around a 30 point margin). The last map I'd for Warren.
2020 Presidential Election

2020 Presidential Election Results:
Donald Trump: 328 Electoral Votes (50% of PV)
Elizabeth Warren: 210 Electoral Votes (48% of PV)

As much as I hate to say this, it's pretty obvious Elizabeth Warren is the weakest of these three potential Nominees, because though she would excite the Democratic base of Nonwhites and Young people, her Gender would turn of even more WWCs, which would cause her to lose Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin by even larger margins and cause her to lose Minnesota, New Hampshire, Maine, and Nevada. Meanwhile, her Left-wing economic views would turn of Wealth White Suburbanites, which would cause her to barely win Virginia and Colorado (Nonwhites and Young people would save her in those two states), win California by 20 points instead of 30, and lose Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Florida by larger margins then Hillary. Overall these National shifts would cause Trump to win the popular vote by two points, along with winning 328 Electoral votes from 34 states.



Hahaha.
Oh. Wait.
You're serious?
Let me laugh even harder!

There is actually a complex level of logic to this map, based solely on real elections.

Also, same logic, used in a different topic leads to this map:

What if my two favorite US politicians of all time ran against each other?



?
The Democrat should be obvious since he's >60% in Nebraska. The Republican is from New York.
WJB and TR?

1968 with Wallace as Democratic candidate, getting same share of the vote as H3, while H3 runs as progressive third party and winning DC. Wallace is rejected by the nation as concerned with Southern issues and interests to the exclusion of the rest of the USA.
I ran the numbers, and I got an identical map, with the exception of Maryland, which I believe goes to Wallace.

This one is a more abstract realignment.

Blue: Pro-environment and pro-conservationism, pro-geoengineering for Gaian and human benefit, pro-gun.

Red: Less conservationist, pro-geoengineering for human benefit, pro-urban, pro-technology, somewhat more cosmopolitan overall.

Politics in the farm states are based on division between large and efficient agribuiness (red) or more sustainable down to earth farming practices (blue).
Where are the numbers from?

2032

[REDACTED] successfully pushes through the 29th amendment, abolishing the electoral college. However, third parties don't get much steam in this election.

Murkowski wins the R nomination and chooses Susan Collins to be her running mate.


Map of where candidates got a majority of votes.


[REDACTED]/Khanna: 54.23%

Murkowski/Collins: 46.36%

NH, AK, IN, KS, ND, and SD are the closest states toward giving a majority to the other candidate.


the solid south... and appalachia... and...
I'd like to ask how third parties got -.59% of the vote

2050's Electoral Map
The GOP has evolved into a fiscally-conservative, pro-business, socially-libertarian party in the decades following their repudiation of Trump after 2024
The Democrats have evolved into a fiscally-liberal, neo-distributist, socially-populist party akin to the CDU in the decades following the unlikely election of John Bel Edwards in 2024
Grey states are tossups
TITANIUM D Oklahoma

Whoops
That was a mistake?

Not originally, but idk, you veterans here likely have a better idea on how that trend would be extrapolated than I would.
Well, if West Virginia and Tennessee are D>60%, I don't see why Oklahoma wouldn't be a Democratic state at that point.

Well, with coal long dead by that point but the other factors that lead to poverty still being existent (lack of young, intelligent workers, geographics not being in their favor, etc.) they'd likely support the populist economics that they do and have in WV. And as for TN, I'm going to be completely honest, I flipped TN and KY around on accident. TN, with Nashville existing and a healthier economy than KY, TN will be the Republican/Swing State one, and KY will be the Democratic one.

Welcome to Hell: Or, what if Brest-Livostk held.



Governor Frank Lowden (R-IL)/Senator Hiram Johnson (R-CA): 60.52%, 437 electoral votes
Governor James Cox (D-OH)/ Secretary William McAdoo (D-CA): 28.74%, 94 electoral votes
IWW Leader Eugene Debs (S-IN)/Seymour Stedman (S-IL): 6.82%, 0 electoral votes

The continuing war allowed Lowden to win an enormous victory, with the highest percent of the popular vote since Monroe, and a record setting 32 point popular vote margin. He set a record for electoral votes, and became the first republican since Reconstruction to win a confederate state.



Solicitor General John W. Davis (D-WV)/Senator Thomas Walsh (D-MT): 34.93%, 269 electoral votes
President Frank Lowden (R-IL)/Governor Gifford Pinchot (R-PA): 36.98%, 242 electoral votes
Senator Robert LaFollette Sr (P-WI)/Vice President Hiram Johnson (P-CA): 14.97%, 20 electoral votes
Chairman William Z. Foster (S-MA)/State Assemblyman Benjamin Gitlow (S-NY): 9.76%, 0 electoral votes

The recent end of the Great War loomed over the 1924 election, and in the end it was much of what doomed Lowden. Also important was his personal feud with Hiram Johnson, who ran on an Progressive ticket, and the contested vote in New York, considered by many to be rigged for Davis. Ultimately, despite a narrow popular vote loss, Davis won the oval office, which he would hold for the next 8 years. Also notable was the strikingly good performance of the Socialist ticket, headlined by Foster, beating out even Debs in 1920.



President John W. Davis (D-WV)/Vice President Thomas Walsh (D-MT): 39.04%, 328 electoral votes
Governor Gifford Pinchot (R-PA)/ Senator Charles Curtis (R-KS): 29.58%, 155 electoral votes
Senator Robert LaFollette Jr (P-WI)/Senator Henrik Shipstead (P-MN): 13.31%, 36 electoral votes
Chairman William Z. Foster (S-MA)/State Assemblyman Benjamin Gitlow (S-NY): 10.16%, 7 electoral votes
First Gentleman “Pa” Ferguson (U-TX)/Various: 7.81%, 5 electoral votes

President Davis, among a booming economy, won a solid plurality victory. The Republican party fell further in vote share, and a Union ticket headlined by James “Pa” Ferguson achieved unexpected success in South Dakota, along with Foster’s socialists in Montana and Nevada.


Six months after his second inauguration, the bottom fell out of the economy. The fractured republican party was unable to capitalize on the gains. The socialists, progressives, and unionists did not have that problem. By 1932, John Davis was besieged in the White House, unable to solve the problems ailing his nation. He flatly refused to run for a third term, although Garner, a Davis supporter, did win the nomination.



Governor Huey Long (U/P-LA))/Reverend Charles Coughlin (U-MI): 34.53%, 245 electoral votes
House Minority Leader John Nance Garner (D-TX)/Governor Albert Ritchie (D-MD): 21.32%, 31 electoral votes
Former President Frank Lowden (R-IL)/Senator Peter Norbeck (R-SD): 21.21%, 109 electoral votes
Governor Meyer London (S-NY)/Senator Upton Sinclair (S-CA): 17.66%, 142 electoral votes
Senator Gerald Nye (P-ND)/Representative William Lemke (P-MN): 5.23%, 4 electoral votes

The end result was something of a worst case scenario. Huey Long’s Union ticket had won the popular vote and electoral vote by pluralities, but it was left to Congress to elect both. Strong-arm tactics and mobs in the national mall managed to convince the house. The Senate was more obstinate. Forced by the Constitution to choose between Sinclair and Coughlin, they decided to shut down for the duration of the 73rd Congress. Long refused to stand for this. Senators began to turn up missing. Many of them had razor blade suicides. Not a soul was surprised when 1934 turned up resounding “majorities” for him in Congress. The 1936 election, such as it was, hardly needed to be held. He was endorsed by every major party, and no candidate besides him managed to win some much as 5% of the vote.

I presented these four scenarios, to describe how different Democratic Nominees will fair against Trump in 2020. As you can see from my maps, Warren performs the worst against Trump (she loses to him in a near landslide, winning only 13 states, 183 Electoral Votes, and 45% of the Popular Vote) mainly due to her gender (Trump is very effective at attacking females, just look at what he did to Hillary Clinton) and “Coastal Elitist” image (she was a professor at Harvard). Booker performs slightly better then Warren (he wins 16 states, 210 Electoral Votes, and 48% of the Popular Vote), however he still loses because most White Americans are not ready for another Black president. Biden comes within inches of victory (he holds all the Clinton states, flips Michigan, and wins the Popular Vote by almost 3 points), however, he loses Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by razor-thin margins due to Trump tying him to Barack Obama. Finally, the only candidate I project to defeat Trump is Bernie Sanders (he holds all the Clinton states, flips Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and wins the Popular Vote by over 3 points), because his unique ability to communicate Far-Left economic policies (Single-Payer Healthcare, Free College, and a 15-dollar minimum wage), while not talking about Far-Left Social policies (#metoo hysteria and Transgender bathrooms), while simultaneously being genuinely Anti-War (he didn’t vote for the Iraq War, is opposed to invading Iran, and doesn’t blame Russia for Democrats losing elections), allows him to get record turnout from Millennials and Minorities, and win White Working Class voters no other Democrats can appeal to (he does this by not talking about Social issues), which together makes him the only Democrat who can win the Rust Belt and thus the election.

1. The only poll that showed Trump with an 8 point or greater margin was a poll of him vs. Stormy Daniels, a failed republican politician and porn star. In that poll, he was still only able to get 41% of the vote. He also lost to Stephanie Clifford, because people are idiots and don't know who Trump is.
2. Trump has lead in one poll against Warren. That poll was over a year ago. An average of polls this year would give her a 7 pt lead.
3. The United States twice elected Barack Obama, and he left office with very high favorability ratings. He currently has a 60% approval rating and is looking upon by historians as a good president. Being tied to him would help candidates. He has a higher approval rating than Trump in ing Alabama.
4. A 15 dollar minimum wage is moderately popular, but less so than milder increases, especially in rural areas. Single payer is split roughly 50-50 in approval ratings. The Transgender bathroom issue, meanwhile, allowed Democrats to win the governorship of NC while Trump and Burr both won it.
5. Bernie Sanders supported the Serbian war. He supported the 2001 Authorization Unilateral Military Force Against Terrorists, he supported Libya, and he supported an expanded US role in the Syrian Civil War. He voted in favor of an Iraq War twice, by voting for the the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 and a resolution which stated "Congress reaffirms that it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic  government to replace that regime." He is not by any stretch anti-war. He was against one specific war at one specific time. He was in favor of that war before, and of other wars after.
6. It has been solidly shown that Russia interfered in the United States election. I know you don't like that. It is still true.
7. Bernie Sanders overwhelmingly lost the black vote in the primary election. Bernie Sanders sponsored, lead, and personally profited from an attempt to dump low-level nuclear waste on a poor hispanic community. He is not a white savior, and he will not win minorities by anything like record-breaking margins.
8. There are swing states that are outside the rust belt. There are swing voters who aren't white working class.

In conclusion, every major point in your post is dreadfully wrong. Trump is unpopular, ineffective, and losing in polling to every democratic candidate. Barack Obama is popular and an excellent person for Democrats to tie themselves too. Social issues are the winning ones for Democrats. They have towering majorities on their side for these fights. Legal marijuana, abortion on demand, background checks and gay marriage are all exceptionally popular, in district after district and state after state. Economic leftism, meanwhile, is of middling popularity. Finally, Bernie Sanders is a scandal ridden hypocrite who is far too old for the Oval Office and the only reason Democrats would select him is if they wanted to make gains in 2022 under President Trump. He is the only major Democratic candidate who might botch this, and even then I wouldn't be sure.

Now, I'd like to talk about why you're doing this. You're investing an absurd amount of time and effort to be a blatant republican hack under the guise of a Sanders supporter. You have a willful disregard for anything resembling objective reality. Why? What makes you want to waste your time on bullsh**tting everyone around you? You've invested a tremendous amount of time in making predictions that are completely unrelated to objective reality. Why?

You have a willful disregard for anything resembling objective reality. Why? What makes you want to waste your time on bullsh**tting everyone around you? You've invested a tremendous amount of time in making predictions that are completely unrelated to objective reality. Why?
It’s obvious your a true believer in the extremely successful Obama-Clinton strategy, that has left Democrats with no House, no Senate, no Presidency, and record lows in Governorships and state legislatures. If Democrats continue to talk about out of control Social Progressivsm (I support Abortion and Gay Marriage, but #metoo hysteria and Transgender bathrooms are a bridge to far for me), Russophobia, and Economic Centrism (Obamacare was s**ty legislation that jacked up Health insurance prices on consumers and made Health Insurance company’s a fortune, the only way to fix healthcare is Single-Payer), they will never win the House, Senate, or Presidency, for at least a decade. Also, how dare you say Bernie Sanders is a “scandal-ridden hypocrite”, if you want one of those then I will guide you no further then Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Paul Ryan, Mich Mcconell, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, or any of the other two-faced liars that have dominated American politics since Reagan won his Klan-appeasing campaign in 1980. Bernie Sanders is the most honest elected official in American politics today, and I find it so amusing that you are citing opposition research from the most poorly-run presidential campaign in modern American history (the Hillary Clinton Campaign), in saying Bernie Sanders “dumped toxic waste on Mexicans”. Finally, if the Democrats continue down this horrifying pathway you want them to stay on, I hope they never win another damn election, because their will be no difference between them and the Republicans except on a couple dumb Social issues (both parties will support turning America into a third world country where Rich people and Multinational Corporations Control all wealth, while everyone else is living on the street, in slums, or in prison, and meanwhile the US military will be bombing innocent civilians in the Middle East to protect Zionist Isreal and Wahhabi Saudi Arabia).

1. Use Spellcheck. Seriously.
2. Downballot losses are common during pretty much every presidency. It was exacerbated during the Obama presidency because the south finally became solidly republican downballot and because Republicans, once in power, gerrymandered maps to stay there.
3. There is something here you are not understanding. You may have far-left economic views. You may not be a big social liberal. But that doesn't mean that that policy mix is necessarily popular. Going on a rant about how you think Single-payer is great and transgender people being able to use bathrooms isn't won't change objective reality. One of those issues has popular majorities in support. One does not.
4. Bernie Sanders pushed for low-level nuclear waste to be dumped on a poor hispanic town, and refused to support an amendment giving them any legal recourse. He then got his wife on the board for this, despite this being a texas dump and both of them living in Vermont. They then profited off of her salary for this for nearly two decades.
5. Bernie Sanders called the F-35 program wasteful, but then supported it when it seemed like it would help his state.
6. Sanders voted for the 1994 crime bill then tried hit Clinton for supporting it.
7. Bernie Sanders wrote an essay where he said women want to be raped. In other essays, he stated that children should run around naked and touch each other's genitals, and that cancer is caused by stress from women not putting out. He also voted against the Amber Alert and against criminalizing child pornography.
8. Sanders attended a Nicaraguan anti-America rally during which the crowds chanted “Here, there, everywhere the Yankee will die.” He is on record declaring this demonstration patriotic. Sanders proclaimed that "Breadlines are a good thing". Sanders praised Castro and Nicaragua extensively in a TV interview. Sanders honeymooned in the USSR. It wasn’t his actual honeymoon, but an immediate trip after he was married because he had meetings as mayor in Burlington’s sister city, Yaroslavl. Would this distinction matter? Probably not. Sanders hung a Soviet flag in his office in Burlington in honor of this sister city arrangement. Would it be painted as tacitly endorsing the commies? Probably.
Sanders participated in an interview in which he says “Capitalism as an economic system has to be radically altered and changed” and “Democracy means public ownership of the major means of production, it means decentralization, it means involving people in their work. Rather than having bosses and workers it means having democratic control over the factories and shops to as great a degree as you can.” Sanders says that he has his own feelings about what causes cancer. Sanders stated that he “doesn’t believe in charities.” Sanders states that he was excited about the revolution in Cuba because he felt it was right that the poor people were standing up to the "ugly rich people."

Sanders is a politician who has a history of dirty dealings, especially around his wife. He also has a past filled with ridiculous, obviously unpopular statements.

9. I know you don't like the fact that social issues are more popular than economic issues. I know you don't like the fact that Sanders is unpopular. Too bad. It is still true.
