I tried my hand at doing electoral maps of the elections of By Any Other Name, something @gap80 did. It was oh, July last year? Anyway, I've decided to put them up here.

Really, the focus is more on the last one, as "Trump" here is much more suburban-appealing and less bombastic, while Hilary Clinton has elements of Bill Clinton (like born in poverty and whatnot).

Those maps weren't really supposed to be "100% serious", more "hmm... what would it probably look like?".
 
I find it a little hard to believe Romeny wins all of Kentucky
Fayette, Franklin, and Elliott were only D+1 in 2012 so they would almost certainly go red in a Romney victory, while Jefferson was D+11, though it was only D+2 in 2000 and 2004 so it's more of a stretch but not impossible.
 
“at the end of four years, I guarantee you that I will get over 95 percent of the African American vote.”

What would the popular vote look like here? Did you give Trump higher numbers among whites, Hispanics, and Asians as well? Which states are the closest ones? And what does the vote in D.C. look like.

The Popular Vote is 65-35 Trump and DC goes for Trump, 62-38.
Obviously I increased his percentages with other racial groups, he wins whites 66-33, Asians 50-49, and loses Hispanics 45-55.

It surprises me that he would not win Hawaii, Maine, or Rhode Island with those numbers. You would think that Maine would go Republican here for sure, given that it was within 3 points in 2016, and that Rhode Island would also fall, given how Trump improved there compared to Romney. I would also imagine that Hawaii would be a tossup.

I was inspired by @Tex Arkana's map to make one for 2016 where every race votes the same, except the Black vote is reversed, with Trump getting 91.72%, and Clinton getting 5.01%. I decided to do that because Clinton got 94.8% of the two-party vote among Black voters, and I figured that was close enough.

Trump / Pence - 56.59% (402)
Clinton / Kaine - 37.37% (136)

2032 Presidential Election
Emily Lee/Paul Knowles (Social Credit): 303 EV, 42.1%
Steve Bullock/Jeff Jackson (Democratic): 163 EV, 33.3%

Garrett Mason/Charles McCall (Republican): 74 EV, 21.5%

It was the worst of times...

America was under a Depression comparable to the Great Depression and President Bullock was solidly blamed for the whole thing. But the Republicans were a shadow of their former selves and rapidly collapsing by the second, with people seeing them as untrustworthy and probably would sell America to Russia if they ever had the chance.

And then came along Social Credit. The embryonic party took the old Social Credit system of C. H. Douglas and fused it with an altered version of the Chinese Social Credit System, to create the monstrosity that was the "Unified Social Credit" idea, namely that where the government would run the economy by Douglasite lines and society by the Chinese model. By 2032, China was seen as the clear economic titan of the world, and a lot of people thought "Hmm... Maybe there is something to learn from that".

For every one of Bullock's protestations that Social Credit would rob freedom, there was plenty of well-respected people who talked of "healing America through Social Credit", and President Xi spoke highly of the American Social Credit Party, hinting that he would be open to trade deals if they won the election. And of course, there was the murmurs that China was actually funding it all and whatnot.

Social Credit ended up winning the presidency and the House, and after that there was plenty of opportunists in the Senate willing to work with them.

2032 was the last free election in America, with 2036 and future elections after it unopposed. The Douglasite ideas were quickly abandoned in early 2034 after the people in charge decided it wouldn't ever work even with technology, and Social Credit ended up a bog-standard right-wing populist party with terrifyingly authoritarian policies such as "Social Credit with American characteristics".
 
By 2116, the Republican Party has long since dissolved and been replaced by the National Latino Conservatives, lead by Ricardo Ramirez (NLC-FL), the party is essentially fiscally liberal and socially conservative, with a strong Catholic influence. The New Democratic Party, lead by Stephanie Moore (NDP-WV) is primarily socially moderate and fiscally centre-right with strong working class influence. in the 2116 election, incumbent President Ricardo Ramirez was in the midst of a crisis as it was revealed that he had an affair with a porn star and forced her to get an abortion, this, on top of the largest recession since the Great Depression, lead to Ms. Moore winning in a historic landslide, with Ramirez only holding onto the core NLC states of California, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Columbia State (Modern day DC). Moore won the popular vote by a historic 67-32 margin and captured 471 electoral votes to Ramirez's 67. This was the worst performance for a NLC candidate in history, and the second worst performance for any candidate, after Dennis Hastert's disastrous campaign in 2000 which ended with him being exposed as a pedophile and his opponent (Joe Lieberman) winning all 50 states and 79% of the PV.
