The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

McCarthy might require primaries to be implemented and Thurmond might require interacting with local Democratic parties to become their official candidate or else run as third party one. As for Henry Wallace, the gameplay will depend only on decisions taken by Truman: the player would have to hope Truman goes full right-wing on foreign policy and civil right to even have a chance to have votes.
Great result with Ford on Normal; picked Baker and mixed moderate answers with a few appeals to the Reaganites (opposing Roe, the "reducing government" answer), won OTL Ford + OH, WI, PA, MS, HI. I think I could have won New York if I used my visits better, though.

I am now imagining Georgia going for Abraham Lincoln despite him not even being on the ballot there.
Played as Bryan on normal, got a good but not outstanding result, and look at this.
Many of you might not know about the reddit community of this game, and they're trying to preserve this game, in case it is true that Dan Bryan doesnt want to put more work into this site. So if you can help with maintaining the site, modding a new start date or anything else r/thecampaigntrail would be useful
This is the site storing all the old elections, as the old site has been taken down. You can play as normal, though it still needs to be cleaned up somewhat. The folks behind this website are working on that, as well as adding new scenarios.
Has the new site fixed some of the issues of the old one? Particularly with the 1968 scenario and getting questions clearly meant for Wallace while playing as Nixon or Humphrey, or vice versa.
The old website is still up, you just need to press a button labeled advanced and then click a link that shows up labeled "Proceed to www.americanhistoryusa.com (unsafe)". It still works completely fine and I'm pretty sure nothing bad happens.
