“Spongeboy me bob! I’ve become a Republican Senator for Ohio arg arg arg arg!”
Here's something a friend of mine did a while back, that I decided to reimagine in my own style. The general idea is that President Dukakis ratfucks the Republican primary in 1992, deposing of Dole and Kemp dramatically. Dark horse Texas Senator Phil Gramm emerges as the Republican nominee out of a shitshow of a primary season and seems poised to unite the party against Dukakis. Dukakis' men then covertly leak to the press Phil Gramm's sordid secret — that he was an investor in porn movies during the 1970s. The ensuing scandal destroys Gramm's credibility and he loses to Dukakis in a landslide.
Here's an infobox of the 2007 Ontario general election. The POD for this is that John Tory doesn't promise to extend funding for religious schools, allowing the PCs to do much better than OTL. The NDP does better as well.
Note: I didn't include the Green Party because I would have to zoom out to 50% to capture the whole infobox, which would make it blurry.

Hubert Horatio Humphrey Jr. (May 27, 1911 – March 13, 1978) was an American pharmacist, politician, businessman and sports owner who owned several sports teams in the Twin Cities, seeing success in all of them. Humphrey is the only man in four Halls of Fame and is generally considered the greatest owner in American Sports history.
Born in Wallace, South Dakota, Humphrey attended the University of Minnesota. In 1943, he became a professor of political science at Macalester College and ran a failed campaign for mayor of Minneapolis. He helped found the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) in 1944; the next year he was elected mayor of Minneapolis, serving until 1948 and successfully advocated for the inclusion of a proposal to end racial segregation in the 1948 Democratic National Convention's party platform.
Leaving public office, Humphrey earned a fortune on Wall Street, and invested this into his home state. Although a patron of arts and education, as well as his continued support for progressive causes. Humphrey is most remembered for his ownership of several professional sports teams.
His first purchase was of the Minneapolis Lakers, sparing them a potential move to the West Coast. To appeal to Saint Paul he renamed them after Minnesota as a whole, a tactic he would use for all of his teams. The Lakers would be his most successful investment, winning five titles over his ownership.
When Baseball expanded, Humphrey fronted the successful bid for the Twin Cities area, helping finance the stadium. The first decade was a difficult one for the Twins, but they would become the team of the 70s in the AL, finally winning the World Series in 1977, featuring a then record number of minority players.
Humphrey also brought NFL success to Minnesota, in the form of another expansion team, the Minnesota Vikings. Although criticized for meddling with draft picks, many of these panned out well, with the Vikings becoming the first team to win three super bowls, led by star running back OJ Simpson.
Hockey was Humphrey’s last addition to his sporting portfolio, and saw immediate success. The North Stars stunned the world by taking the Stanley Cup home in their first ever season of play, and continued to see success into the 1970s.
In 1977-78, Humphrey’s teams all won their respective championships. This was the first time a city had held all four trophies at one time, a record that would not be equaled until Cleveland in 2000-01 and surpassed by Tampa Bay in 2017-18 with the addition of a NASL trophy. Humphrey remains the only owner to have held so many trophies simultaneously. Humphrey died from bladder cancer shortly after achieving this feat, willing his teams to the State of Minnesota. He remains fondly remembered as “Mr. Minnesota Sports” and the man who made the state the State of Champions.

Here's an infobox of the 2003 Ontario general election. The POD for this is that the PC campaign doesn't call Dalton McGuinty a ''reptilian kitten-eater'' in their news release. This allows them to do much better, pushing the Liberals into minority territory.
