Two people face off in a tightly-competed 2008-esque primary season, the loser goes independent while the other party totally collapses on the presidential level?
Oh, I see. I don't think that's ever happened, except maybe pre-'72.I mean more like one person wins their parties primary against an opponent from within the party, and in the general election they win the exact same states as they did in their primary.
Or, to help you visualize it better, imagine if Reagan won the same states in the Presidential election in 1980 as he did in the Republican primary of that year.
Oh, I see. I don't think that's ever happened, except maybe pre-'72.
Yah. Pre-McGovern-Fraser.Pre-'72 there were only like fifteen states that even held primaries.

Took me a while to realize you flipped the colors...Clinton wins YUGE win on Presidential level, making 2016 be on par with 1932 as one of the best nights in the history of the Democratic party.

Clinton nabs YUGE win against Donny on Presidential level, making 2016 be on par with 1932 as one of the best nights in the history of the Democratic party. Ds easily gain back the House majority.
I think Houston may be too gerrymandered for any seats to be flippable. Although I wish James Cargas could be my representative.Clinton nabs YUGE win against Donny on Presidential level, making 2016 be on par with 1932 as one of the best nights in the history of the Democratic party. Ds easily gain back the House majority.
*ConnexitAnd just because why not... #NExit
To conclude this, #FLexit, #AKexit, #HIxit
Republicans: 180
Democrats: 166
Other States: 176
Georgia: 16 [Tipping point]
That's right, the Democrats could literally lose all their non-Midwest safe states and still win without Ohio.
