31. We need a populist ticket! Cuomo-Schweitzer 2016!!!!!!!

We need to make gains in another region of the country. So we should have a northeastern-midwestern ticket. That way we keep New Hampshire, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico. And maybe we can pick up Arizona and Montana. We'll get independents and rev up the Base with social liberal/moderate populist Cuomo. And with popular populist Montana Governor Schweitzer we will capture the midwest and maybe Georgia and South Carolina.
