2020Both parties' establishments were ambivalent about their nominees this year. The Democrats found themselves with the upstart Missouri Governor Ted 'Battenberg' Mountbatten, while the Republicans nominated freshman congressman and former Kasich hack King de la Pole. Mountbatten started off with a crushing lead, but a combination of a strong campaign from de la Pole (based entirely on how John Kasich is the reincarnation of Jesus) and a string of gaffes from Mountbatten (including praising Donald Trump and saying he would consider building a border wall 'for the jobs') led it to be a nailbiter.
In the end, Mountbatten won by a very thin margin. De la Pole swore revenge and promised that he would not leave the political arena.
