I think Rubio would be doing better in New Mexico. Many Latinos would like to see their first Latino president, similarly to how blacks wanted Obama in 2008. I doubt he'd win that demographic by the margins that Obama won his, but he'd make things a lot harder for the Democrats in the west.

Very interesting TL, keep up the good work!

Marco could push my home state a different direction, me thinks Tongue (we have a very strong Latino populace here)

Very nice update, however I think Trump should've gotten a slot to speak. Cruz didn't endorse Trump until after the convention, and he got a slot to speak.

Other than that, very impressive!

What's the polling like for Rubio at the moment? I assume he's definitely gotten a boost from the convention.

Looks like Marco's on his way to a landslide!

How long until he breaks into other solid-atlas-red states, such as New Jersey, Connecticut, etc.? If he's well in the lead in Michigan, PA, and Wisconsin, then those other states should be shifting soon.

I could see Powell endorsing Rubio over Hillary in this scenario.

We'll have to see whether an October surprise will determine the issue of the presidential race in favor of one of the two candidates.
I sense some serious foreshadowing...

So Rubio has nominated Shelley Moore-Capito to his Cabinet and Mike Lee to SCOTUS. The President must be quite confident they will hold WV.
There was no doubt Rubio would win West Virginia...

Justice wasn't a Republican until August of 2017, so he'd definitely appoint a Democrat to Capito's seat. Jeff Kessler?

If UWS wanted to make his 2016 Electoral map more realistic he would have given New Jersey to Clinton, and Virginia to Rubio. Rubio probably would have won Virginia due to his Suburban appeal, but New Jersey would have stayed with Clinton no matter what, though it would have been much closer then in real life.

You're one to talk

July 19 :

Among the Democrats announcing their endorsement to President Rubio, there is, notably, his fellow Cuban-American New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez

I actually laughed when I saw this

Wait, how is Rubio tied in California, but Sanders is up by 3 in New Jersey?

Sanders is a much better fit for CA and a horrible fit for NJ.

UWS,

Considering the Republicans have such strong supermajorities in both chambers, and that Rubio has amazingly high approval ratings, they ought to repeal the 22nd Amendment assuming Rubio wins reelection and the Republican Party holds their majorities in both chambers. That way, Rubio can seek a third term if his approval ratings continue to be favorable.
