[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

I won a few times with Hughes on Normal by running a progressive anti-war campaign, but lost the popular vote regardless every time.

Anybody feel like sharing their account?

I wanna play 1960!

Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY)/Fmr. Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA): 306 EVs, 48.5%
PV

Fmr. Sec. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA): 232 EVs, 48.2% PV

Same amount of EVs, but I barely lost Michigan (by one-tenth of a point, dammit!) and picked up Virginia and New Hampshire.

[WestVegeta]

Hughes/Fairbanks: 273 EVs, 46.2% PV

[/b]

Wilson/Marshall: 258 EVs, 49.2% PV

No clue what I did, but it got me that narrow dub

[CookieDamage]

Hillary as a center-left moderate with Booker. Did very well on the debates. 405 - 133

Hillary as a progressive with Sherrod Brown. Debates inconclusive. 314 - 224

Hillary as a tone-deaf, Trumpist right-wing Democratic. Skipped debates. 439-99

Trump as a passive candidate who tilted left and did a lot of 180s. 49 - 489

[Pragmatist_TNAG]

President Gerald R. Ford (R-MI) / Sen. John B. Anderson (R-IL) / 424 EVs, 51.1% PV
---------------------------------------------------
Governor Jimmy E. Carter (D-GA) / Sen. Walter F. Mondale (D-MN) / 114 EVs, 46.9% PV

[TPIG]

Romney as a center-right, broad-coalition candidate on Normal difficulty:

Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan - 337 EVs/51.6% PV
Barack Obama/Joe Biden - 201 Evs/47.5% PV

Better than 99.8% of games with Romney on this difficulty. If only this could have happened in real life

2016:  It's "Impossible" for Trump to win.

Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY)/Fmr. Sen. Scott Brown (R-NH):  351 EVs (52.3% PV)
Fmr. SOS Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA):  187 EVs (44.1% PV)

Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY)/Fmr. Sen. Scott Brown (R-NH): 341 EVs

Fmr. Sec. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA): 197 EVs

[WestVegeta]

Utah went for us by 195 votes, somehow.

Fmr. Sec. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ): 353 EVs

Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY)/Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN): 185 EVs

Hillary still does better than Dukakis

Hillary Clinton - 40 percent popular vote, 124 electoral votes

Donald Trump - 55 percent popular vote, 424 electoral votes

Ran as Mitt Romney on normal difficulty. I chose semi-moderate answers on issues like healthcare, trade, and immigration, while going as a hard-line social conservative. It worked (better than 90.4%).

Believe in America

Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan (R) - 305 Electoral Votes, 50.5% (65,436,204)

Barack Obama/Joe Biden (D) - 233 Electoral Votes, 48.6% (63,086,062)

The only way I was able to win as Romney is by giving all "moderate" answers or playing on easy mode.  They also make it impossible to win as George HW Bush unless you go aggressively negative (which is not the only reason he won IRL).

What I find impossible is winning as Ford in 76 on any difficulty other than easy. I've tried so many different answers, but nothing works.

doesn't seem that hard to me

i'll post some of my weirder results another time

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Attempted to self destruct Trump as much as possible

[badgate]

I don't post much anymore, but I just wanted to say I'm so proud this thread is still going :,)

[Pragmatist_TNAG]

This is from 1988, but I hope it counts

Gov. Mario Cuomo (D-NY)/Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA)
356 EVs / 49% PV
--------------------------------------
Henry "Scoop" Jackson (R-WA)/George Voinovich (R-OH)
179 EVs / 41% PV
--------------------------------------
Jesse Jackson (G-GA)/?
3 EVs/7% PV

Republican incumbent, high inflation, high unemployment, people not proud of their country

[DabbingSanta]

---- Hillary Clinton   347   69,519,711   52.9%
---- Donald Trump   191   58,103,352   44.2%

Closest state:

North Carolina by 110 votes

Within 5% for Trump:
AK, AZ, GA, MT, TX, UT

Within 5% for Clinton:
IA, NC, OH

I can see a scenario like this turning out in 2020, with a different Dem candidate mind you...

[MR DARK BRANDON]

My result for the 2000 election was very um.. realistic...

[Politician]

Played as Trump and won:

Virginia and Michigan were decided by less than 0.1%.

Donald Trump/Scott Brown: 306 EV's, 48.3%
Hillary Clinton/Cory Booker: 232 EV's, 48.7%

[morgankingsley]

First off, has anybody won or thrown the election to the house as Wallace?

Second, on October, according to the site, all elections will be free for everybody to play regardless of if they had an account or not. That will make me addicted to the game all over again to try out different stuff
