Chris Christie doesn't do Bridgegate and spends more time in his state, rather than campaign for himself and others.

Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ)/Governor Susana Martinez (R-NM) - 349 EV
Fmr. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) - 183 EV
Officer Evan McMullin (I-UT)/Businesswoman Mindy Finn (I-DC) - 6 EV

Why is McMullin in this race?

Same reason as OTL. Christie is not a "true conservative".

2020 map Cory Booker/Jason Kander 332
 v Trump/Pence 206

A State Secretary of State getting the Democratic vice presidential nomination in the 21st century?

Whomever Booker picks can must be free of DC and ethics free. Just like the anti Bush era Dems came to power in 2006-2010. Jason Kander has the charisma just like Sherrod Brown did in 2006 to be on the nat'l ticket in 2020.  And he is a Vet, and that's what Booker lacks.

Fair point

[Lord Admirale]

Pres. Donald Trump (R-NY) / VP Mike Pence (R-IN)
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) / Sen. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX)

How does Trump lose his home state but win Massachusetts?

President Jimmy Carter (D-GA)/Vice President Walter Mondale (D-MN) - 284 EV
Fmr. Governor Ronald Reagan (R-CA)/Fmr. CIA Director George H. W. Bush (R-TX) - 254 EV

EDIT: I could see Reagan winning the popular vote here, while Carter (obviously) wins the electoral vote

2016

President Mitt Romney (R-MA)/Vice President Paul Ryan (R-WI) - 450 EV (55.8%)
Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT)/Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) - 88 EV (43.0%)

The 2016 Democratic Primaries ended in chaos at an open convention, where Senator Bernie Sanders managed to secure the nomination from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Joe Biden, and Senator Jeff Merkley. Sanders ran his campaign as a staunch populist and railing against income inequality, bashing the Romney Administration for their practices. However, Sanders' insurgent-styled campaign didn't work as well in the general election as it did in the primaries, causing the Sanders/Gabbard ticket to sink well-below Romney/Ryan in national polls. Bad went to worse when Republican leaders dug into the Vermont Senator's past regarding support for the Castro regime, the "rape essay", and support for the Sandinistas.

On November 8, 2016, President Romney won reelection by an astounding 13-point popular vote landslide, including winning his home state by a thin margin and nearly taking the State of California by 0.3%.

Bernie VS Trump 2016
I took the polling of Bernie vs Trump in May 2016 and then brought Trump and Sanders up by the same # of points as the two candidates did in reality (+1.3R, +3.0 Dem) I then did a similar MoE as to what happened in reality. (-1.2 Dem,+2.5 Rep)
That leaves us with a whopping spread of 8.4%. As much of a Bernie lover as I am, that's highly unlikely. However, I still mapped it.

Senator Bernard Sanders/Senator Elizabeth Warren: 51.5%, 411 EV
Businessman Donald J. Trump/Governor Michael Pence: 43.1%, 121 EV
Former Policy Director Evan McMullin/Businesswoman Mandy Finn: .6%, 6 EV
Former Governor Gary Johnson/Former Governor Bill Weld: 3.7%, 0 EV
Attorney Darrell Castle/Businessman Scott Bradley: .4%, 0 EV
Others: .7%
Jill Stein doesn't even get 4th place due to most of her base going to Bernie. Bernie's nomination gets the farther right of america to vote in great plains states, causing Castle to get a commanding 4th place. Bernie splits more votes with Trump in Utah over economic issues, allowing McMullin to win. Alaska very nearly goes to Johnson.

I like this map. why does Gore win Missouri though?

Boosted support from rural whites, Gore runs a more populist campaign when running against Powell.

President Mitt Romney / Vice President Paul Ryan - 370 EVs (54.1%)
Senator Bernie Sanders / Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard - 168 EVs (44.5%)

After a bitter contested convention between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, and other candidates, the Vermont Senator narrowly secured the Democratic nomination for himself.

At the convention, Sanders failed to unite the Democratic Party behind him and his running mate, Tulsi Gabbard. As a result, Romney took a strong lead in national polls and began reaching out to wealthy, "wine track," suburban Democrats who backed Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, similarly to President Bill Clinton's suburban strategy in 1996 to win over rich and traditionally Republican voters.

In November of 2016, that strategy proved to be successful, with the Republican ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan winning 370 electoral votes to Sanders' and Gabbard's 168 electoral votes.

Donald J. Trump (R-NY) - ☑
Fmr. Sec. of State Hillary R. Clinton (D-NY) - 191
Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-VT) - 17

I don't see how Clinton still wins CO, VA, NV, NM, WA, but loses MD in this scenario.

[Lord Admirale]

Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller (R-NY) / Gov. Mark Hatfield (R-OR) - 349 EV
Pres. John F. Kennedy (D-MA) / Gov. Terry Sanford (D-NC) - 162 EV
Gov. Ross Barnett (SR-MS) / Sen. Richard Russell (SR-GA) - 27 EV

(SR = States' Rights Party)

[Lord Admirale]

Similar idea as the previous post.

GA would go to a runoff if no one got a majority.

Who'd win?
