2020 President Jim Webb (D-VI) vs Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)

[Medal506]

Post your maps. This might be the only sernario where the democrats could have had 16 years control of the White House

[Sir Mohamed]

Nah, with Biden 16 years would have been possible as well I think.

In the end, Cruz does better than expected and surprisingly wins FL by a 0.2% margin, but still loses the general election by a comfortable margin.

✓ President James E. Webb (D-VA)/Vice President Martin Heinrich (D-NM): 313 EVs.; 50.9%
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)/Governor Scott Walker (R-WI): 225 EVs.; 46.2%

President Jim Webb (D-VI)/Vice President Martin Heinrich (D-NM), 351 Electoral Votes

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)/Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), 187 Electoral Votes

Webb wins over most moderate voters and just barely loses the state of Nevada to Cruz, the only swing state to go to Cruz.

Well, I don't think Webb would lose NV and win MO. I agree that he's a better fit for MO than most generic Democrats and probably not the best for NV, but such a shift seems doubtful. I also don't understand your shading. Does that refer to the winning margin? Because the NV shading would mean Cruz wins with less than 40% of the vote. Not very likely unless there is strong third party competitor. And WA wouldn't be closer than OR I think.

I also don't want to be a smart aleck, but the State Code for Virginia is VA and not VI.

The shading means magian of victory, not percentage received.

And my bad on the Virginia state code.

[Lord Admirale]

I think Webb would win a second term easily. He's much closer to the center than the rest of the Democratic Party and has appeals to conservatives (war hero, worked for Ronald Reagan, not too PC). Cruz has no appeal to Democrats and/or moderates, and wouldn't do very well overall.

President Jim Webb (D-VA)/Vice President Steve Bullock (D-MT) - 359 EV
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)/Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) - 179 EV

[BuckeyeNut]

Webb is (D-VI)? When does he leave Virginia for the Virgin Islands? Can he really run an effective campaign out of Saint Thomas?

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

President Jim Webb/Vice President Brian Schweitzer - 304 EV ✓
Senator Ted Cruz/Senator Joni Ernst - 234 EV

[AtorBoltox]

Record low minority turnout and surge in support for Green Party amongst millennials leads to Cruz landslide

[mvd10]

A lot of RINO's in Kentucky and West Virginia would go Dem. Not the RINO Tom types but the actual RINO's (protect muh medicare/social security frum evul immigrants and gubmint). Cruz would still win because of collapsing Dem turnout like the previous poster said.
