| Description | In a movie where a president’s son falls for an English prince, the most unrealistic thing is the Electoral College.
“I’d argue that you don’t actually need the Midwest,” Alex, a self-professed former working-class kid, tells her. It’s a quip apt to make any 2016 Democratic voter’s blood run cold.
Alex’s mother remains concerned with the Rust Belt, which favors her Republican opponent, until Alex convinces her to let him run a campaign in Texas focused on “firing up the youth vote.” He signs up 1 million new voters. On Election Day, President Claremont loses the entire Midwest and ends up behind her opponent, with 233 electoral votes to his 265. She wins when Texas goes blue. |
