Just got this result in the McGovern mod 1992 normal difficulty... how I don't know.
The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

Got this ending in Nixon 1972: Peace With Honor:
You get it byGeorge McGovern said:
going full socdem as Nixon, taking pacifist options whenever possible, and admitting that you did a bunch of dirty tricks AFTER ratfucking the Dem nomination race.
Going socdem isn't necessary. All you need to do is hanky-panky, meeting China, ratfucking, admitting to dirty tricks, then finally losing. You can create a police state and roll back all sorts of social programs, and you'll get the same ending.
Warren Harding rolls 'worst campaign ever', asked to leave Washington.
1920 has been an interesting game, my only complaint is that if that I wish you could still pick vice presidential candidates even if you failed to get Harding or Cox the nomination.
Hell allow the presidential candidate you choose to play be an option for vice president if you failed to win the primary

These have to be some of my all time favorite results:
This was an utterly cynical campaign. I chose the "Lexiteer" option, making the case that the EU stood for austerity, and walking a fine line between paying lip service to hard Brexit and gestures toward a soft Brexit. While this lost me Scotland and boosted the Lib-Dems tremendously, it helped me lock down the North. I relentlessly hammered the Tories on national security and austerity, in that order. It was enough to depress Tory turnout from OTL, redounding to the benefit of Ukip and the Lib-Dems, who were respectively up by about 400k and a million votes over OTL. Although I lost about 200k votes over OTL (-.9%), the Tories were a million votes weaker (-3.8%), and the Lib-Dems were competitive in so many districts that I was able to win the plurality of votes and seats, a +24 over OTL.

Sorry if intruding on a thread like this isn't allowed - but I did consider giving each alternate nominee a set of running mates. Ultimately, I decided that the changes in effects each running mate had would be minimal, and giving a list of running mates may take away from the purpose of having said alternate nominees - which is that 1920 was going to be a blowout unless one of the parties did something very drastic.
By the way, anyone here get
the Bryan or Wilson routes
No-I imagined there must be something like it, but I hadn't found a way to it yet
There goes the rest of my day...
NEW CAMPAIGN TRAIL
"Don't swap horses in the middle of the stream."
Oh…. Oh Dear God, Alfred! You have won the 1936 election in an incredible upset!
All the way back in July, when you were given the nomination, victory seemed all but impossible. You were a little known Governor going up against a very popular incumbent who was recovering the economy. Pollsters had you winning only Vermont, Maine and maybe New Hampshire. Whatever the hell you did to close the gap, it has clearly worked, and you’ve left a nation speechless. Your supporters are ecstatic, and have taken to the streets to celebrate. Franklin D. Roosevelt calls to concede, and the Democratic Party is baffled that they somehow lost the White House to some newcomer Governor from Kansas.On the governing front, it seems that Democrats still have heavy control of both chambers, so you’ll be working with a divided government for at least the next two years, and likely more to come. Regardless, sit back and relax, knowing that you’ve pulled off the greatest upset in American History! Congratulations, President-Elect Landon, and best of luck, because you’re gonna sure as hell need it!
