The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

Fist time playing I lost by a couple of EV as Bryan. I won the popular vote by over 1% and managed to take Indiana, but lost Ohio by 0.8%

I imagine that such a close defeat for a populist Democrat in 1896, coulled with the fact that he won the popular vote, would cause a serious backlash against McKinley. I could easly see Bryan winning in 1900 after this.

Probably my best Bryan victory yet, winning in a 318-129 sweep.

The magic formula appears to be Claude Matthews as VP (for some reason, it doesn’t work when I choose, say, Horace Boies even if I use the same strategy) and a moderate campaign with a restrained liberal platform. Also: people just plain don’t want temperance in the states beyond your base you need to win, so pick you’re battles and drop that.

Here's a Douglas (likely) normal win

On easy, you can win without fusion tickets or Seymour by narrowly taking IL, IN, and OH, but on normal, it is a straightforward focus on NY with Seymour as VP. Just take the fusion ticket option for the North, without withdrawing in the South which assures Bell wins VA, MD, and LA and thus beats you. It still comes down to luck though-even without withdrawing in the south, Bell has around a 50/50 shot at winning VA and MD, and Douglas can still narrowly beat him in electoral votes if Bell takes MD (unless you withdraw from the west coast, or lose California) but if Bell wins in VA, he's basically certain to beat Douglass (unless you somehow win NY and MO or IL-both states are close, but seem to be just out of reach).

Here, Douglas takes NY and CA, and Bell loses VA and MD (by less than 1% each), and thus Douglas beats Bell in the Electoral College 44-33 and the election is thrown to the House

Also, here's a Douglas win on easy, with no fusion tickets and winning by taking the lower midwest instead of NY

Difficult mode was Normal, and I have a question : How to carry NY as Romney?
