Cool map. And a very good one.Here's a new one:
Revived William Jennings Bryan vs. revived Nelson Rockefeller
Who wins here?Here's a new one:
Revived William Jennings Bryan vs. revived Nelson Rockefeller
I think Bryan's religiosity combined with his populism would allow him to win Utah against a liberal Republican like Rockefeller. I wasn't too sure about Idaho or Wyoming but I think Bryan is still a better fit for them than Rockefeller is. As for Vermont, it soundly rejected him all three times IRL and has historically been a bastiton of liberal Republicanism so I gave it to Rockefeller with over 60% of the vote. Pennselvanyia would be a pure toss-up with Rockefeller doing very well in the Philly suburbs and Bryan doing equally well in the working class rural areas of Western PA.Cool map. And a very good one.
Alhough I would give Utah, Wyoming and maybe Idaho (there are many libertarians and loyal Republicans) to Rockefeller and Vermont and PA to Bryan (Bernie supporters would probably support Bryan).
So, the map would look like this IMO

I understand. You are probably right about Utah and PA. As for Vermont, it is not really the same Vermont from 100 years ago, now it is a bastiton of economic leftism...I think Bryan's religiosity combined with his populism would allow him to win Utah against a liberal Republican like Rockefeller.

Also, tried to make revived Wilson vs revived Coolidge
Some of Wilson's racist views would probably hurt him in some blue states such as IL and NM.
Rockefeller is/was economically pretty liberal. Of course Bryan was more liberal on economic issues than Rockefeller, but Rockefeller would certainly be the most liberal Republican to hold elected office if he were still alive today.I understand.

Okay, in that case, it makes sense.Rockefeller is/was economically pretty liberal. Of course Bryan was more liberal on economic issues than Rockefeller, but Rockefeller would certainly be the most liberal Republican to hold elected office if he were still alive today.
Literally every state has changed so much since Coolidge's timeIt's kind of funny that VT doesn't go Coolidge here.
The state has changed so much from Coolidge's time...
Yeah, but Vermont has changed more radically than others.Literally every state has changed so much since Coolidge's time
Except for Alabama.Literally every state has changed so much since Coolidge's time
He's the head of the independent ticketDonald?
