The election of 1968:

✓ President Lyndon B. Johnson (Liberal-TX)/Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller (Liberal-NY): 324 EV. (51.11%)
Governor Ronald Reagan (Conservative-CA)/Governor George Wallace (Conservative-AL): 214 EV. (46.83%)

Edited to what I think would happen.

West Virginia may absolutely be in the liberal column, but I think LBJ would have won his homestate Texas in 1968. Maybe not on the 1970s, but in that year I almost don't see him losing there as long as he wins nationally.

2016

Tom Corbett pulls off an upset in the 2014 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election and wins a second term before he enters presidential waters in mid-2015. In a crowded field, he wins the nomination. He choses Senator Bob Corker for the second spot, who has, unlike the nominee, broad foreign policy experience. Due to Hillary's baggage and her poor campaign performance, Governor Corbett gets elected president, running on a "compassionate conservatism" platform similar to Duya in 2000 and promising more bipartisanship.

✓ Governor Thomas W. Corbett (R-PA)/Senator Bob Corker (R-TN): 289 EV. (49.54%)
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Senator Timothy M. Kaine (D-VA): 249 EV. (47.75%)


2020

The economy still does well, ISIS is defeated and President Corbett passes a bipartisan improvement of Obamacare as well as a trillion dollar infrastructure package. Vice President Corker decides to retire and Corbett selects UN Ambassador Nikki Haley as his running mate.

✓ President Thomas W. Corbett (R-PA)/U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley (R-SC): 319 EV. (51.18%)
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)/Former HUD Secretary Julian Castro (D-TX): 249 EV. (46.62%)

[President Johnson]

1964 election: JFK lives, Rocky is the nominee and postphones his remarriage

The Bobby Baker scandal and JFK's affairs as well as civil rights unrest cost him reelection:

✓ Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller (R-NY)/Senator Thomas Kuchel (R-CA): 277 EV. (49.06%)
President John F. Kennedy (D-MA)/Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson (D-TX): 226 EV. (47.88%)
Senator Harry F. Byrd (I-VA)/Governor Orval Faubus (I-AR): 35 EV. (3.22%)


1968: George Wallace briefly takes over the Democratic Party

A traditional result like in the 1920s. Washington DC goes Republican due to President Rockefeller's staunch pro-civil rights stances and George Wallace's support for segregation.

[President Johnson]

The 2016 House of Cards election.

I really don't know why they have chosen such an unrealistic map. There is no way a Democrat wins with this combination of states.
