[Former Senator Haslam2020]

Man, the NASA one seems realistic but balancing the budget with 50 billion to Kurds? I don't think NASA would ever get to 120 billion in funding.... But under those circumstances,

UN Ambassador Nikki Haley/Senator Marco Rubio: 340 Electoral Votes, 52.3%
Senator Ron Wyden/Senator Amy Klobuchar: 198 Electoral Votes, 44.3%
Activist John Monds/Chairman Nicolas Sarawrk: 0 Electoral Votes, 3.0%

Lots of scenarios where you think Monds will run. Interesting. But the Republican Machine would destroy Wyden, even though he has some good ideas. He wants to balance the budget but increase spending dramatically, can't work. I agree with those NASA policies but it would drive lots of lefties nuts, because they want funding for other things. Wyden could win if he changed a couple of those far out positions though, because Haley's support for Turkey and Trump's approval numbers are small compared to "liberal government spending!!!!!111"

I'm guessing Wyden wins, though narrowly.
