I imagine this is a nightmare scenario for many. Donald Trump beating Obama in a Reagan-style landslide in 2012. I played as Trump on medium difficulty. Rick Perry was my VP.

I've done this (not very well though) https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/russia-land-of-hope-and-glory-a-tliad.336361/

The only way I altered the scenario was having Crane/Kemp as the Republican ticket. I also played on easy. I am using President Forever 2008 with the 1980 scenario. I really don't like President Infinity because it is a bit confusing to me and I am used to the older version. However, my tips...

My run as John Anderson in 1980. I think I did rather well, though I didn't deadlock the EC.

What do people think of the idea of Benn pulling an early Corbyn?

I played as Johnson in 2012. I made Paul drop out and endorse me on the first turn. I won IA,NH and SC and FL but got complacent, spent no money on ads and eventually lost the nomination to Romney after he got endorsed by Perry at the last minute. I then became Romney's VP. The campaign showed...

Didn't Nicholas Cage turn down basically every movie role? I think he was meant to be in LOTR and the Matrix. Also Bowie was meant to be Elrond. That would have been awesome.

Here it is, Its not great, is unfinished and is my first work but none the less enjoy it! :D https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=259079

I'm just reposting my Game of Thrones idea...

A Game of Chairs: A detailed map of Westeros similar to the one in the books but showing Westeros a thousand years in the future. There will be new cities and new nations on the continent.

Just had the best game. Played as Gore in 1992. Beat Clinton in the primaries and then chose him as running mate. A reasonably tough battle with Bush. The PV was slightly off but the EC map was quite close to the OTL 1992 one. Really NJ? Look at Montana, incredibly close three-way race there.

Bumping...
