Iowa is Rubio Country

[2016]

The biggest State with the most Delegates left on the Board is New Jersey, Cory Bookers Home State.

Sanders is favoured in Oregon, the Dakotas, Booker is favoured in Arkansas.

I'm surprised former President Barack Obama & Bill Clinton are staying on the Sidelines for this long. They could still make a huge difference who has the bragging rights going into the Convention.

Kentucky seems a Toss Up to me if AA Vote turns out Louisville & Lexington.

Marco Rubio's Presidency
June 2020, Part 1

President Rubio's job approval rating :
Approve : 61 %
Disapprove : 33 %
Unsure : 6 %

June 1 :
-While Jimmy Carter endorses Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama announced his endorsement to Cory Booker in the race for the Democratic nomination. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton remains neutral as there is speculation according to which he could endorse President Rubio if Sanders wins the Democratic nomination since he ratified NAFTA, a free trade agreement that Sanders wants to rip while Rubio is a strong supporter of free trade.

-Even though he has no chance of winning the New Jersey primary since it's Booker's home state, Bernie Sanders is conducting GOTV operations across New Jersey in order to get as much delegates as possible.

June 2 :

-Democratic primary voters in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico and New Jersey head to the polls ahead of the primaries held in these states.

June 3 :

-Elizabeth Warren officially announces that she will pledge her 175 delegates to Bernie Sanders during the 2020 Democratic National Convention that will be held in St. Louis, Missouri from July 13 to July 17.

June 5 :

-The House of Representatives votes 317-115 for the Stand Together Act that is later signed into law by President Rubio, thus adding Vladimir Putin's Russia on the list of state-sponsors of terrorism.

June 6 :
-A new jobs report notes that 271 000 new jobs were created in America while the unemployment rate is now at 2.6 %.

June 7 :

-During an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News, Vice-President Haley is asked about the fact that the Democrats will have a brokered convention. She answered that it demonstrates that « all the Democratic candidates have got is mudslinging that is nothing but divisive while our administration brought the American people together with the strongest economic growth in decades that brought our country to the lowest unemployment rate we've ever known thanks to small government as well as free enterprise and with a strong foreign policy that reinforced our military and our alliances, brought us close to victory against terrorism and kept America safe. That's why President Rubio is running on a positive agenda that will bring our country to permanent freedom, full-employment and total victory against terrorism. That's why our campaign slogan is Keep America Strong. That's exactly what we're going to do and that's why President Rubio deserves a second term.

June 9 :
-Democratic primary voters in Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands head to the polls ahead of the final primaries of the 2020 Democratic primaries.

June 11-12 :

-The United States host the 46th G7 summit in Houston, Texas. So President Rubio is the leader hosting the G7 summit. During the summit, the participating leaders agreed to increase the emphasis on the development of renewable energies in the context of America's recent path to energy independence which President Rubio described as « a great success in our quest to get the world to permanent prosperity and to a clean environment. » They also agreed to keep championing free trade due to the beneficial effects of the end of the U.S embargo against Cuba and of the increase of trade activities between these 2 countries last year and of the ratification of the US-India Free Trade Agreement on the economy due to lower tariffs, lower costs for products and stronger competitiveness in the world economy.

June 14 :
-The Pakistani secret services confirmed Ayman al-Zawahiri's location in Karachi.

[2016]

Booker will win New Jersey by about 70-30 by my calculations and New Mexico 60-40. It's conceivable that Booker nets more Delegates than Sanders out of these two States compared to Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Sanders Delegate lead over Booker will be significantly reduced. It will be less than 200 when the District of Columbia concludes the Primary Season.

What are Kaines Delegates going to do at the Convention?

What is the Super-Delegate Count between Sanders and Booker?

UWS,
You can cross off Kamala Harris & John Bel Edwards from the VP Lists. They wouldn't accept an offer from either Sanders or Booker as they want to run themselves in 2024 when President Rubio is termed out.

UWS,
You can cross off Kamala Harris & John Bel Edwards from the VP Lists. They wouldn't accept an offer from either Sanders or Booker as they want to run themselves in 2024 when President Rubio is termed out.

That's why Harris and Edwards showed no interest in it. That's like when Bobby Jindal was on John McCain's list of potential running mates in 2008 but denied interest.

Marco Rubio's Presidency
July 2020, Part 1

President Rubio's job approval rating :
Approve : 64 %
Disapprove : 32 %
Unsure : 4 %

July 1 :

-President Rubio campaigns in Virginia where he promises that when the budget will be balanced, a part of future surpluses will be invested into the development of job training programs for military veterans, including those who will come back from Afghanistan during the scheduled withdrawal of the NATO troops in 2021.

July 3 :
-President Rubio campaigns in Appleton, Wisconsin where he highlights the recent operation that eliminated Ayman al-Zawahiri, declaring that America is better off than it was four years ago, including on the foreign policy issue thanks to a strong U.S. military, strong American leadership and strong alliances.

July 6 :

July 7 :
-Vice-President Haley campaigns for Cory Gardner in Colorado while slamming his Democratic opponent John Hickenlooper on his anti-coal record.

July 10 :
-President Rubio hosts Afghan president Ashraf Ghani at the White House where both leaders praised the success made recently in the fight against terrorism, including with the recent operation that killed Zawahiri. They reiterated their pledge that the transition of the responsibility of Afghanistan's national security to the Afghan troops in 2021 will be done successfully and in the greatest dignity.

July 11 :

-Secretary of State Lindsey Graham declares that the total annihilation of Al Qaida is imminent and that it will be accomplished by the end of 2021.

July 13-16 :

-The Democrats hold the 2020 Democratic National Convention in St. Louis, Missouri. Since none of the Democratic presidential candidates got to the 2026 delegate threshold on 4050 to win the Democratic presidential nomination, the convention is brokered. So here are the results of the ballots at the convention determining the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee :

Ballot 1 : Bernie Sanders (1686 delegates), Cory Booker (1426 delegates), Tim Kaine (767 delegates), Elizabeth Warren (175 delegates), John Hickenlooper (53 delegates)

Ballot 2 : Bernie Sanders (1729 delegates), Cory Booker (1436 delegates), Tim Kaine (767 delegates), Elizabeth Warren (175 delegates), John Hickenlooper (53 delegates)

Ballot 3 : Bernie Sanders (1904 delegates), Cory Booker (1436 delegates), Tim Kaine (767 delegates), Elizabeth Warren (175 delegates), John Hickenlooper (53 delegates)

Ballot 4 : Bernie Sanders (2050 delegates), Cory Booker (2000 delegates), Tim Kaine (767 delegates), Elizabeth Warren (175 delegates), John Hickenlooper (53 delegates)

-On the fourth ballot, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders becomes the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee with 2050 delegates (which is only 24 delegates more than the 2026 threshold) thanks to the Kaine delegates from states with massive white population like Oklahoma, Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska, Utah, etc. even though the majority of Kaine's delegates went to Cory Booker. So Bernie Sanders will face President Rubio in the general election. He selects former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick as his running mate. In addition, Sanders becomes the first Jewish presidential nominee of a major party and this will be the election where the age gap between the two candidates will be the largest after the 2008 election (with the 25-year gap between John McCain and Barack Obama) and the 1996 election (with the 23-year gap between Bob Dole and Bill Clinton) since the age gap between him and Rubio is exactly 30 years. The main speakers at the 2020 Democratic National Convention are Ben Cardin, Elizabeth Warren, Barack Obama, Dick Durbin, George Clooney, Hillary Clinton, Tom Wolfe Jr., Al Gore, Cory Booker (who announced his endorsement to Sanders after losing the race), Tim Ryan, Tim Kaine, Tulsi Gabbard, Deval Patrick and Bernie Sanders who promised to raise taxes on the rich, to raise the minimum wage to 15 $, to establish a universal health care system, to rip free trade deals and to adopt a foreign policy based more on diplomacy. But he's currently performing in the late 30s or early 40s points of percentage in the national polls.

Sanders being the Democratic Nominee means the following:

# 1 President Rubio has a shot at the Hispanic Vote and should he win it he would be only the 2nd Republican in 30 years since Ronald Reagans Reelection 1980 to win it.

# 2 Democratic Congressional, Senate & Governor Candidates will distance themselves from Sanders.

Democratic Governors like Gavin Newsom (CA), Kate Brown (OR) and Jay Inslee (WA) might endorse the President.

Kamala Harris is a possibility for President Rubio as she helped him craft the Immigration Bill that passed Congress in 2017.

These three are among the most liberal politicians in America. Why wouldn't they endorse Bernie Sanders, someone they already agree with very much?

The only part of that may come true is Rubio winning the Hispanic vote but even the rest of that point was wrong as the closest a Republican has come to winning the Hispanic Vote was 2004, unless of course Rubio won it in 2016 in this timeline(in which Rubio would still remain only Republican to win Hispanic vote) . Also Reagan didnt win reelection in 1980 he was elected for the first time.


The other two are just LMAO

Hmm... I feel like if Marco had a 15-point lead on Bernie, NY would be much more competitive than California. Hillary won California with a 30-point margin over Trump, so in this world with Marco polling +15 over Bernie nationwide, I could see Bernie holding a 10-point lead over Marco in the state.

How the hell is MN a swing state if CA isn't safe D?

Thanks for your advice. Just for your information, in this timeline, Rubio won above 40 % of the vote in California in 2016 like George W. Bush did in 2004 when John Kerry won it by less than 10 percentage points.

And the states you mentionned will be more competitive after the 2020 Republican National Convention that will give a boost that will surely increase President Rubio's lead.
