    how does he manage to repeal the 22nd amendment or modify it to allow one more presidential term?

    Pretend it’s an au where the 22nd amendment never happens, but everything stays the same other than this election

    Does Bill just decide not to run for a third term himself? I recall he was very much a fan of the idea, and from Truman through Dubya he’s the only president with a good shot at winning a third term

    Eisenhower would have easily won a second term. Reagan was popular enough, but his health just wasn’t there.

    I agree with this except that Obama loses Florida and gains NE-02.

    Yes I’m sure all the Middle Eastern countries were thrilled about four more years of drone bombings

    Would you prefer planes bombing people or drones bombing people?

    I meant that it's good the election map makes sense. A third term of Obama would certainly be bad for the middle east.

    Well if it's gonna suck either way then why bring up the middle east as a jab against Obama?

    The image being discussed literally includes Trump of course people are going to compare both.

    You could probably go ahead and give Obama WVA too, since he's too smart to ever make a "we're going to put a lot of coal miners out of business" remark.

    Doubtful, he lost it in 2012 by almost 30 points

    Dems haven't won WV since 1996. What makes you think Obama, a black man, is going to change that after two consecutive terms?

    Do you really think that Clinton would have won WVA if she hadn’t said that lol

    Her husband won the state in 1992 and 1996. You're laughing like it's impossible to consider a dem winning WVA. Hilary delivered the state to the GOP for a generation with that comment.

    Obama didn't win it in 08 or 12, what makes you think he would've won it in 16 if he was allowed to run?

    I feel like depending on if Americans care about Obama running for a third term or not, ( breaking the 2 term limit ) it could either be a dominating win for Obama where he take Iowa, Arizona, Georgia, maybe ever close or takes South Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Arkansa and Missouri, but if they do care they it would probably be much closer

    I think if the republicans (for whatever reason) won in 2012 this would happen, except Obama would come out stronger
