2020 Map

Democratic: Representative LouisvilleThunder (KY)/ Senator Sherrod Brown (OH): 252 EVs 38.8% PV
Republican-Libertarian Union: President Goldwater (CA)/ Vice-President Mike Lee (UT): 235 EVs 43.1% PV
Progressive-Democratic Socialist: Governor Jake Jewvinivisk (NY)/ Representative Tammy Baldwin (WI): 51 EVs 16.5% PV
President Goldwater surprised everyone four years ago when he defeated many other Republicans in the primaries as well as winning the Libertarian nomination at its convention. He spearheaded a merger of the Republican and Libertarian parties because of this. He bucked the old socially conservative establishment by proudly flaunting his socially liberal, fiscally conservative, hawkish ideology.
Goldwater easily trounced Hillary Clinton in the general election due to his energy and Reagnesque optimism which riled up Millenials to his side compared to the staleness and incompetence of the Clinton campaign. He also turns out skeptical conservatives because of his Tea Party conservative running mate Mike Lee. He wins all of the real-life Trump states plus Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, Virginia, and New Hampshire minus Michigan and narrowly Pennsylvania. However, Hillary managed to cut Trump's real life margins in the deep South, Appalachia, and the Rust Belt causing him to narrowly win Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Virginia.
The Goldwater administration ends up angering African Americans and the white working class with his right wing economic policies as well as his neoconservative foreign policy which leads America to invade Iran and Syria. A recession also begins on his watch. He also angers social conservatives due to his appointments of socially liberal Supreme Court justices even though they are thoroughly economically conservative and pro-corporate (essentially more Anthony Kennedys). Goldwater also ends up being subsumed by multiple scandals within his administration and the Republican Party.
LouisvilleThunder ends up winning the Democratic nomination against a plethora of other Democrats by running with a socially moderate, economically progressive but reasonable and pragmatic, and anti interventionist platform. He also emphasized his anti-corruption views and a desire to bring values and decency back into politics. He ends up angering pro-choice feminists and hardcore socialists who are disappointed enough to draft one of those who lost the primary to run as a third party challenger.
The extremely popular Governor Jake of New York was pressured enough by a grassroots movement to draft him to run for President to declare to do so. In the beginning of the general election campaign, he didn't poll above 5%, but numerous gaffes by both Thunder and Goldwater caused many voters (mostly young ones) to seek another option. Jake's campaign also received a large boost from an endorsement by Bernie Sanders who decided not to run for President due to health reasons....

Things did not look so hot for President Lorenzo Dax Smith (D-TX). One bad economy that was arguably more the fault of a do-nothing Congress who would not pass any powerful stimuli, some controversial indifference regarding the bathroom bills...or at least it was controversial to the left, and most insultingly, a policy of downsizing support to Israel and defense in general....it was only a matter of time before primary challenges opened up. The hawks and Jews lined up behind Congressman Jake Javinivisk (D-NY), whereas disappointed populists went towards the more caustic Governor Louis V. Thunder (D-KY).



President Lorenzo Dax Smith (TX)
Representative Jake Javinivisk (NY)
Governor Louis V. Thunder (KY)

The hype between these candidates seems all to real, but The President managed to snag up the Iowa Caucus, New Hampshire Primary, and Nevada caucus. But critics noted that despite these wins, they were waaaay too close for comfort. Then came Super Tuesday, in which Rep. Javinivisk cleaned house in The South, except for Texas anyway, which was seemingly the only thing keeping the endangered incumbent from primaried there and then. Despite the long odds and nothing even close to a decent delegate count, Gov. Thunder kept going, with donations being his only warchest. Eventually this resilience paid off with a victory in Wisconsin. But the battle kept going, with no one willing to give in. Accela went by a gave the Javinivisk a second wind, and in the end, only California would pacify...Smith used his old Bay Area connections to secure the state, despite a strong play for Olde Jefferson by Mr. Thunder and tough competition in SoCal by Javinivisk.

So then rolled the Convention in Nashville, Tennessee which the media played up a rift between the purist populist left of Gov. Thunder and the President's more pragmatic coalition. They praised the concilatory nature of Rep. Javinivisk....but alas, it was the opposite that happened. Despite the attempts to keep every wing satisfied, Pres. Smith couldn't reconcile that hawkish wing. Indeed, Rep. Javinivisk ended up making his own Independent run.

Meanwhile on the other side, the charismatic Insurance Commissioner Caspian Goldwater, who fought off a clown car of candidates almost purely on the basis of being Californian and actual small government managed to get through the convention in a walk.

The polls didn't look so good either, they were middling at best, but a hostage crisis in Syria showed up around September. However, Pres. Smith did manage to turn his fortunes around after some debates, in which Goldwater came off as a bit unhinged on that topic, and too bizarrely interested in sunny weather on the other topics, and Javinivisk appeared too angry and mean. But in the end...

Cont....



State Insurance Commissioner Caspian Goldwater (R-CA) / Representative Rhee P. Cheip (R-FL): 307 EV, 49% pv
President Lorenzo Dax Smith (D-TX) / VP Pykael Sukakis  (D-RI): 231 EV, 44% pv
Representative Jake Javinivisk (I-NY) / Mr. Finn Ferguson (I-NC): 7% pv

That perceived softness really turned Suburbia against The President, which cost him dearly in the Mid-Atlantic area, and where Pennsylvania and New Jersey [though liberal argue Javinivisk spoiled both of those] put Goldwater over the top. Curiously, The Bellwether Midwest held out for The President.

This would be very interesting both in the primary and the GE. 

I'm gonna make Smith the incumbent here. His presidency was going very smoothly, and despite a primary challenge from the left by Representative Wells (who only won Vermont), seemed to be headed towards an easy re-election victory. That is, until the Republicans nominated the super moderate (and maybe even slightly left-wing) Louis Thunder and the primary challenge came back under a different party. And then Thunder lost the base big-league and private comments by Wells supporting a socialist revolution were leaked (his claims that hey were ironic jokes fell on deaf ears).



President Smith (D-TX) 391 EVs, 57%
Senator Thunder (R-TN) 147 EVs, 40%
Representative Wells (G-NY) 0 EVs, 2%

Oh and a 3 way primary where no one is the incumbent (I know I'm breaking the rules but I wanna do it):



Smith
Wells
Thunder

Smith wins after a few rounds in a contested convention when Thunder drops out and endorses him.
