I've always had a hard time winning Bryan. Any general tips?

Give the moderate liberal answers on tariffs and silver, answer the moderate liberal answer if it exists, otherwise take the liberal answer. Give the non-committal answer on temperance, and attack McKinley hard. This strategy always works for me

I didn't think being opposed to lynchings was all that radical, but whatever...

Your base is the solid South...They fervently opposed anti-lynching legislation.

That being said, it is possible to oppose lynching and win...but you'd need to play on easy mode in order to do it.

Truman/Barkley on normal:



I spent my last day in California and it still flipped from the actual 1948 results. However, I gained New York, Indiana, Michigan and Delaware.

Finally!  Won as Truman without accepting a Civil Rights plank in the Democratic platform.  My strategy was to campaign exclusively in Ohio and the Mountain/Plains states, as CA and NY quickly become fools' gold if you don't accept Civil Rights.  I always answered the most liberal policy position given as well.



Truman / Barkley - 289 EV, 23.9 million PV (49.5%)
Dewey / Warren - 242 EV, 21.8 million PV (45.1%)
Wallace / Taylor - 0 EV, 2.6 million PV (5.5%)

Played as W. J. Bryan again, doing extremely well. Looks like my extensive NY campaigning worked.

This was easy mode, though, but I did better than 87% of games as Bryan on Easy.

It would be nice if they had scenarios for every year 1984 through 2016.

In my continuing of my every candidate every election every difficulty race, I did Clinton on Normal this time.

Trump wins the presidency by a 9 thousand vote victory in Wisconsin. Ironically despite only winning by 8 electoral votes here, he loses the popular vote by a smaller margin than in real life, when he won by almost 100 electoral votes

In which a liberal campaign from a Kennedy/Humphrey ticket allowed Byrd to break %5 and carry more Southern states.

A Southern Strategy in '60


Nixon/Goldwater - 283 EV, 33.1 million votes (49.5%)
Kennedy/Johnson - 248 EV, 33.8 million votes (50.5%)
Unpledged electors - 6 EV, 0 votes (0.0%)

Won as Nixon/Goldwater on normal after multiple tries.  After picking Goldwater, choose to run as Eisenhower's third term, always pick the moderate-conservative or moderate answer (except on foreign policy, of course), choose to campaign extensively in the South, don't debate Kennedy, send Eisenhower to CA/the West Coast, and spend your last day in Texas/the South.  To win under this scenario you need CA, MO, NC and one of MS/AL (the Industrial Midwest is out of reach).  California is a tough nut to crack in this scenario, and I campaigned there the most.  I also ended up getting both MS and AL and winning WA (though I never campaigned there).
