[4] White Upton Sinclair's administration is popular among the electorate, not much is accomplished do to the overwhelming majority of congress being either democratic or republican. Very few socialists were elected in the surprise breakthrough back in '20. This time around the Republicans and Democrats are demolished by the unhappy electorate gaining a large majority of seats the senate and a supermajority in the house.

[3]After a deadly war in Europe and a harsh recession following the armistice, the Socialist Party wins it's first election.
[4] White Upton Sinclair's administration is popular among the electorate, not much is accomplished do to the overwhelming majority of congress being either democratic or republican. Very few socialists were elected in the surprise breakthrough back in '20. This time around the Republicans and Democrats are demolished by the unhappy electorate gaining a large majority of seats the senate and a supermajority in the house
[5] After 16 years of Socialist rule, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. is elected president on the Democratic Republican ticket. He won a three-way race over Socialist nominee Henry A. Wallace and Populist nominee Huey Long.

[11] Sign into law, the Civil Rights Act, granting all races equal rights. This pushes away Democrat-Republican conservatives to the Conservative Party, making it more left-wing in terms of ideology.
[12] The Democratic-Republicans are renamed the Progressives.
[13] After Great Political Massacre of 2005 in which 75% of congress was gunned down and the President, VP and speaker were all killed, 103 year old President Pro Tempore Strom Thurmond becomes POTUS, he having lived longer than expected (he will end up living to 115) Horrifically large riots erupt in every city with many state legislatures meeting and considering legal protests of the new president. Some massacres of rioters and protestors occur in the South, while in the west and New England, the national guard refuses to fire on protestors.
[14] After the death of President Thurmond, Speaker Dennis Kucinich assumes the presidency.
[15] The murders of President Kucinich and his VP Sanders on live TV lead to new Speaker Rod Blagojevich and former presidential candidate Jimmy Carter to become to become the new President and VP of the USA.

[1]First President to win a fourth term.
[2]First President to win a consecutive third term.
[3]After a deadly war in Europe and a harsh recession following the armistice, the Socialist Party wins it's first election.
[4] White Upton Sinclair's administration is popular among the electorate, not much is accomplished do to the overwhelming majority of congress being either democratic or republican. Very few socialists were elected in the surprise breakthrough back in '20. This time around the Republicans and Democrats are demolished by the unhappy electorate gaining a large majority of seats the senate and a supermajority in the house
[5] After 16 years of Socialist rule, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. is elected president on the Democratic Republican ticket. He won a three-way race over Socialist nominee Henry A. Wallace and Populist nominee Huey Long.
[6] Following a scandal in the White House, the Socialist Party goes into a downward spiral, allowing liberal Thomas Dewey to become President by a large majority in 1948.
[7] Narrowly elected in the 6 way election of 1956. First Catholic President.
[8] Narrowly elected in the 18 way election of 1960.
[9] 7 non-Fascist conservative parties merged to form the Conservative Party, leading to Lindbergh's landslide in the electoral college in a 7-way race, where Lindbergh himself won 39% of the popular vote.
[10] Rockefeller's Democrat-Republicans win a landslide vote against the far right Conservatives, putting through several financial reforms and cut corporate taxes, leading to a booming economy.
[11] Sign into law, the Civil Rights Act, granting all races equal rights. This pushes away Democrat-Republican conservatives to the Conservative Party, making it more left-wing in terms of ideology.
[12] The Democratic-Republicans are renamed the Progressives.
[13] After Great Political Massacre of 2005 in which 75% of congress was gunned down and the President, VP and speaker were all killed, 103 year old President Pro Tempore Strom Thurmond becomes POTUS, he having lived longer than expected (he will end up living to 115) Horrifically large riots erupt in every city with many state legislatures meeting and considering legal protests of the new president. Some massacres of rioters and protestors occur in the South, while in the west and New England, the national guard refuses to fire on protestors.
[14] After the death of President Thurmond, Speaker Dennis Kucinich assumes the presidency.
[15] The murders of President Kucinich and his VP Sanders on live TV lead to new Speaker Rod Blagojevich and former presidential candidate Jimmy Carter to become to become the new President and VP of the USA.
[16] Immediately after his election, the Communist Party was outlawed. Martial law was declared all over the nation. The 2010 midterms were indefinitely postponed. In January 2012, President Duke moved to a permanent military base, well-protected by loyal supporters and the military.
[17] Order in the USA completely breaks down. The west coast, Hawaii, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, the Dakota, Wyoming, New England, New York and various sections of the Midwest declare for the Brown/Cuomo provisional government. However, there is exceptionally violent fratricidal partisan activity from Boise to Chicago and while this government technically is contiguous, it is quite tenuous. Various military bases and isolated communities throughout the country declare for Brown/Cuomo but little can be done for them. Clear borders in the 'heartland' are impossible. Most of Florida declares for a rival "Floridian" USA, with some parts of the deep south following. The "legitimate government" of David Duke holds out in a completely ruined government, commanding most of the deep south and large sections of kentucky, and Tennessee. His kill squads are causes for terror and death from Houston to parts of Upstate New York. Utah declares independence and controls various sections of Nevada and Idaho. Rick Perry and George Bush lead a newly independent Texas, but is besiged on all sides by the Duke, Brown, the Paul (which controls Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska and large sections of Texas) and even the occasional Scott armies. Not long for this world. Much of the country is an uncontrolled grey area, with Eastern Front and Serbian level violence. A broad band from Colorado to Pennsylvania can not truly be considered to have any government at all and the infrastructure completely breaks down. Various regions are controlled by AWOL generals, tin pot would be dictators, the occasional commune and quite often an alliance of White Nationalists, Militias and evangelical Christian movements. Most of the world throws its support behind the Brown government, while Mexico increasingly has no respect for the border. Dozens of nuclear weapons are unaccounted for. Overseas forces too are rather split and occupied Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan are thrown into a bizarre reenactment of the American civil war between various American factions. This of course doesn't include the Islamic sides of the war too. Forces in Japan and Germany are isolated by their respective governments though violence is common there too. The world economy crashes. Nuclear weapons are deployed in Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky and Louisiana.
[18] Jesus Christ comes back on December 22nd, 2012, putting an end to all chaos around the world - after the Tribulation, caused by the nuclear destruction of Yellowstone.
[19] The Son of God is assassinated by a crazed fan. The Transvestite Alliance and Scientologists fill the void.
[20] Mike Huckabee and Franklin Graham, claiming that the so-called Jesus Christ that appeared in 2012 was indeed the Antichrist, defeated Paul by a landslide.
[21] The 109 year old (and completely senile) Ronald Reagan and the 122 year old Golda Meir are elected after Mike Huckabee and Graham are caught in bed with both each other and a 16 year old blind prostitute.

[5] After 16 years of Socialist rule, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. is elected president on the Democratic Republican ticket. He won a three-way race over Socialist nominee Henry A. Wallace and Populist nominee Huey Long.
[6] Following a scandal in the White House, the Socialist Party goes into a downward spiral, allowing liberal Thomas Dewey to become President by a large majority in 1948.
[7] Narrowly elected in the 6 way election of 1956. First Catholic President.
[8] Narrowly elected in the 18 way election of 1960.
[9] 7 non-Fascist conservative parties merged to form the Conservative Party, leading to Lindbergh's landslide in the electoral college in a 7-way race, where Lindbergh himself won 39% of the popular vote.
[10] Rockefeller's Democrat-Republicans win a landslide vote against the far right Conservatives, putting through several financial reforms and cut corporate taxes, leading to a booming economy.
[11] Sign into law, the Civil Rights Act, granting all races equal rights. This pushes away Democrat-Republican conservatives to the Conservative Party, making it more left-wing in terms of ideology.
[12] The Democratic-Republicans are renamed the Progressives.
[13] After Great Political Massacre of 2005 in which 75% of congress was gunned down and the President, VP and speaker were all killed, 103 year old President Pro Tempore Strom Thurmond becomes POTUS, he having lived longer than expected (he will end up living to 115) Horrifically large riots erupt in every city with many state legislatures meeting and considering legal protests of the new president. Some massacres of rioters and protestors occur in the South, while in the west and New England, the national guard refuses to fire on protestors.
[14] After the death of President Thurmond, Speaker Dennis Kucinich assumes the presidency.
[15] The murders of President Kucinich and his VP Sanders on live TV lead to new Speaker Rod Blagojevich and former presidential candidate Jimmy Carter to become to become the new President and VP of the USA.
[16] Immediately after his election, the Communist Party was outlawed. Martial law was declared all over the nation. The 2010 midterms were indefinitely postponed. In January 2012, President Duke moved to a permanent military base, well-protected by loyal supporters and the military.
[17] Order in the USA completely breaks down. The west coast, Hawaii, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, the Dakota, Wyoming, New England, New York and various sections of the Midwest declare for the Brown/Cuomo provisional government. However, there is exceptionally violent fratricidal partisan activity from Boise to Chicago and while this government technically is contiguous, it is quite tenuous. Various military bases and isolated communities throughout the country declare for Brown/Cuomo but little can be done for them. Clear borders in the 'heartland' are impossible. Most of Florida declares for a rival "Floridian" USA, with some parts of the deep south following. The "legitimate government" of David Duke holds out in a completely ruined government, commanding most of the deep south and large sections of kentucky, and Tennessee. His kill squads are causes for terror and death from Houston to parts of Upstate New York. Utah declares independence and controls various sections of Nevada and Idaho. Rick Perry and George Bush lead a newly independent Texas, but is besiged on all sides by the Duke, Brown, the Paul (which controls Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska and large sections of Texas) and even the occasional Scott armies. Not long for this world. Much of the country is an uncontrolled grey area, with Eastern Front and Serbian level violence. A broad band from Colorado to Pennsylvania can not truly be considered to have any government at all and the infrastructure completely breaks down. Various regions are controlled by AWOL generals, tin pot would be dictators, the occasional commune and quite often an alliance of White Nationalists, Militias and evangelical Christian movements. Most of the world throws its support behind the Brown government, while Mexico increasingly has no respect for the border. Dozens of nuclear weapons are unaccounted for. Overseas forces too are rather split and occupied Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan are thrown into a bizarre reenactment of the American civil war between various American factions. This of course doesn't include the Islamic sides of the war too. Forces in Japan and Germany are isolated by their respective governments though violence is common there too. The world economy crashes. Nuclear weapons are deployed in Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky and Louisiana.
[18] Jesus Christ comes back on December 22nd, 2012, putting an end to all chaos around the world - after the Tribulation, caused by the nuclear destruction of Yellowstone.
[19] The Son of God is assassinated by a crazed fan. The Transvestite Alliance and Scientologists fill the void.
[20] Mike Huckabee and Franklin Graham, claiming that the so-called Jesus Christ that appeared in 2012 was indeed the Antichrist, defeated Paul by a landslide.
[21] The 109 year old (and completely senile) Ronald Reagan and the 122 year old Golda Meir are elected after Mike Huckabee and Graham are caught in bed with both each other and a 16 year old blind prostitute.[/QUOTE]
[22] Ronald Reagan is kicked off the ticket when his senility is revealed to have been a problem for over 30 years. The long suffering American Zionist Party recreates their ticket from 64 years before and nominates the 138 year old David ben Gurion and two time (and seemingly destine to wait forever) vice president Golda Meir. The Jesus Was Lord Party wins the popular vote but ironically since the Great Jesus Electoral Reform Act of a few years past bases the election on congressional districts, the election was fully gerrymandered for Zionist victory.

1976: George H.W. Bush (Conservative / Tip O'Neill (Liberal Democrat) [10]
1980: George H.W. Bush / Robert F. Kennedy (Conservative) [11]
[1] The Republicans nominate isolationist Bob Taft who runs on a ticket with Burton K Wheeler. This leads to reformation of the Democrats as the Liberal Democratic Party.
[2] Robert Taft forms the Conservative Party and absorb most Southern Democrats and Conservative Republicans, defeating unpopular President Roosevelt (who was seen as arrogant for seeking a third term, and wanting a long term presence in Europe) in a narrow election shortly after the 3rd Reich falls to the allies
[3] After both Germany and Korea fell to Communism, public sentiment against Communism and Taft's isolationism grew. President Taft became extremely unpopular and was defeated in a landslide by General Eisenhower.
[4] President Eisenhower becomes the third President in a row to lose reelection-while his foreign policy is popular, his failed attempts at Civil Rights and Socialized Medicine are not popular.
[5] President Thurmond impeached in June 1955, after he ordered troops into Washington DC and murdered 29 civil rights protesters. Halleck, the new president and a staunch conservative, surprisingly pushed forward civil rights legislation and national reconciliation. The Civil Rights Act of 1956 was passed with bipartisan support.
[6] Following the infamous "Roosevelt Island Massacre", and the Impeachment of President Thurmond, President Halleck is narrowly reelected, as his attempts at national reconciliation are popular.
[7] Gaylord Nelson was the three term governor of Wisoconsin. Although largely uninterested in the Presidency, his record as a liberal governor in the moderate state, and his disgust at the Conservative party, leads him to run. He picks James Roosevelt as his VP. The Nelson adminsitration pushes hard for Civil Rights legislation,building on the legacy of the Halleck administration. Under Nelson's tenure, the Civil Rights Act of 1962 is passed. The Nelson Administration also sees the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, the passing of the National Environmental Act, which seeks to cut carbon emissions within the United States by 15 percent by 1980, a significant expansion of the National Park system, and the creation of the Comsumer Safety cabinet position.
[8] Halleck returns to power on the backs of anti-environmental angst, stagflation, and the advancement on communism on every continent, Mexico having elected a communist government and the Red Shirts marching in to Paris being the final straws.
[9] Halleck and Nixon both killed by gunmen while at a campaign rally by suspected communist's. Speaker of the House Albert accends to the presidency and selects fellow congressman Tip O'Neill as his Vice President.
[10] Due to a massive upswing and the SPUSA and CPUSA vote in the election, the race is thrown to Congress. The new government paints itself as a unity government "Which faces the imminent threat of Global Communism." The "Third Red Scare" begins. Communists are elected in to power in Italy, finally. Spain tear itself apart, far worse than before, in a second civil war. Red Revolution races across the Arab and African world.
[11] Communist groups in the US lost momentum and managed to win only 3 seats in the Congress in 1980, due to public outcry after Communist riots or "uprisings" across the nation that killed more than 7,000. State of emergency has been declared in many states. Bush's strong actions against Communist rioters gained him huge popularity, and he was reelected in a landslide under the platform of peace and order. Communist Italy, under prime minister Enrico Berlinguer, did not join the Soviet bloc, but instead chose to enter the Non-Aligned Movement. The Berlinguer government, despite pushing for sweeping social reforms, strictly followed the principles of democracy and the rule of law, and his government was reelected in a landslide. In France, Jacques Chirac was elected president, winning 71% of the popular vote in the second round against PCF nominee Georges Marchais, winning the endorsement of many other candidates including President François Mitterrand, who failed to enter the second round. The PCF would gradually be marginalized after the election of 1981 due to internal split.

[1] The Republicans nominate isolationist Bob Taft who runs on a ticket with Burton K Wheeler. This leads to reformation of the Democrats as the Liberal Democratic Party.
[2] Robert Taft forms the Conservative Party and absorb most Southern Democrats and Conservative Republicans, defeating unpopular President Roosevelt (who was seen as arrogant for seeking a third term, and wanting a long term presence in Europe) in a narrow election shortly after the 3rd Reich falls to the allies
[3] After both Germany and Korea fell to Communism, public sentiment against Communism and Taft's isolationism grew. President Taft became extremely unpopular and was defeated in a landslide by General Eisenhower.
[4] President Eisenhower becomes the third President in a row to lose reelection-while his foreign policy is popular, his failed attempts at Civil Rights and Socialized Medicine are not popular.
[5] President Thurmond impeached in June 1955, after he ordered troops into Washington DC and murdered 29 civil rights protesters. Halleck, the new president and a staunch conservative, surprisingly pushed forward civil rights legislation and national reconciliation. The Civil Rights Act of 1956 was passed with bipartisan support.
[6] Following the infamous "Roosevelt Island Massacre", and the Impeachment of President Thurmond, President Halleck is narrowly reelected, as his attempts at national reconciliation are popular.
[7] Gaylord Nelson was the three term governor of Wisoconsin. Although largely uninterested in the Presidency, his record as a liberal governor in the moderate state, and his disgust at the Conservative party, leads him to run. He picks James Roosevelt as his VP. The Nelson adminsitration pushes hard for Civil Rights legislation,building on the legacy of the Halleck administration. Under Nelson's tenure, the Civil Rights Act of 1962 is passed. The Nelson Administration also sees the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, the passing of the National Environmental Act, which seeks to cut carbon emissions within the United States by 15 percent by 1980, a significant expansion of the National Park system, and the creation of the Comsumer Safety cabinet position.
[8] Halleck returns to power on the backs of anti-environmental angst, stagflation, and the advancement on communism on every continent, Mexico having elected a communist government and the Red Shirts marching in to Paris being the final straws.
[9] Halleck and Nixon both killed by gunmen while at a campaign rally by suspected communist's. Speaker of the House Albert accends to the presidency and selects fellow congressman Tip O'Neill as his Vice President.
[10] Due to a massive upswing and the SPUSA and CPUSA vote in the election, the race is thrown to Congress. The new government paints itself as a unity government "Which faces the imminent threat of Global Communism." The "Third Red Scare" begins. Communists are elected in to power in Italy, finally. Spain tear itself apart, far worse than before, in a second civil war. Red Revolution races across the Arab and African world.
[11] Communist groups in the US lost momentum and managed to win only 3 seats in the Congress in 1980, due to public outcry after Communist riots or "uprisings" across the nation that killed more than 7,000. State of emergency has been declared in many states. Bush's strong actions against Communist rioters gained him huge popularity, and he was reelected in a landslide under the platform of peace and order. Communist Italy, under prime minister Enrico Berlinguer, did not join the Soviet bloc, but instead chose to enter the Non-Aligned Movement. The Berlinguer government, despite pushing for sweeping social reforms, strictly followed the principles of democracy and the rule of law, and his government was reelected in a landslide. In France, Jacques Chirac was elected president, winning 71% of the popular vote in the second round against PCF nominee Georges Marchais, winning the endorsement of many other candidates including President François Mitterrand, who failed to enter the second round. The PCF would gradually be marginalized after the election of 1981 due to internal split.
[12] While the revolts and poor election results of the last election were bad news for the people's movements in the USA, they continue to survive, capturing a fair number of seats in congress. The general state of emergency in the USA continues, while huge investment is finally poured into the USA's few remaining Democratic capitalist allies. The Free Democratic alliance is formed with the USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, Norway, Iceland, (Exile) Netherlands, Free Denmark in Faeroes and Greenland, Ireland, Japan, Australia and New Zealand as founding members. However these few Democratic states can do little to stop the spread of communism outside of their own relatively limited spheres of power. The besieged white state in South Africa is denied entry do to various "Human rights issues." The Soviet Union and her Comintern go from strength to strength as certain economic reforms shake up the old system. Italy's non-aligned movement gains some strength but is forced to toe the Soviet line to some extent do tue geopolitical realities, while France, having no neighbouring friends is neutralized and powerless. Soviet tinkering is post-Mao China has split the weak PRC to a great extent, and regional influences are overtaking the collapsing central government. Israel, seeing where the wind is blowing elects a Labor government and signs a number of "accommodation" treaties with the Comintern to protect itself against her only neighbor, the Greater People's Arab Democratic Republic
[13] Disliking the vice-presidency, Dole opted to return to the Senate. Since 1984, the Soviet Union began to experience minor economic difficulties, and began to cease financial aid to Communist activities in Western democracies including the United States. Soviet leader Yegor Ligachev, who succeeded Konstantin Chernenko as General Secretary of the CPSU in 1985, began to work out economic but not political reforms. Nevertheless, he brutally suppressed the Red Square protests of 1989, sparked by the death of former Premier Yuri Andropov. Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, who was sympathetic to the protesters, was put under house arrest. In 1990, Soviet troops entered Berlin and arrested German premier Hans Modrow, who tried to carry out political reforms. Yugoslavia and Italy, along with the Non-Alignment Movement, began to move closer to the Free Democratic Alliance after the Soviet invasion of Germany. Thanks to the Kennedy Doctrine and Powell Plan, member states of the Free Democratic Alliance experienced huge economic recovery.
[14] While the economic recovery of the West continues, the seemingly endless cold war tension and gigantic military expenditures finally unleash a backlash. While the USA and her allies do not pull back from their current positions, more focus is placed on intra-Democratic and domestic investments. The Soviet Union is too large and too dangerous an animal to attempt to confront and contain head on. Reform movements similar to the ones in Germany are crushed in Iran, Poland, Sweden, Finland, North India and Turkey.
[15] Running on the platform of detente with the Soviet bloc, Carter was reelected by comfortable margins. On the other hand, France officially joined the increasingly pro-FDA Non-Alignment Movement. In China, a bloody civil war between provinces occurred. Gradually, northern and more conservative provinces were united into the Democratic Republic of China by Wang Dongxing, who was heavily financed by the Soviet Union. While southern and reformist provinces, led by Zhejiang governor Bao Tong, were gradually united into the Federal Republic of China, thanks to the support of troops loyal to late Ye Jianying.In January 1999, Soviet leader Eduard Shevardnadze, President Jimmy Carter, President Bao Tong and General Secretary Wang Dongxing reached a ceasefire between North China and South China. All 4 of them were awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 2000. FR China would go on to become a stable democracy with rapid economic growth, and a strong ally of the United States; and is the 4th largest economy as of 2020.

Agreed, they make the game a lot more fun than:
1992: President X/ Vice President Y (Party-State)
1996: President Z/Vice President B (Party-State)

Israel, seeing where the wind is blowing elects a Labor government and signs a number of "accommodation" treaties with the Comintern to protect itself against her only neighbor, the Greater People's Arab Democratic Republic
[13] Disliking the vice-presidency, Dole opted to return to the Senate. Since 1984, the Soviet Union began to experience minor economic difficulties, and began to cease financial aid to Communist activities in Western democracies including the United States. Soviet leader Yegor Ligachev, who succeeded Konstantin Chernenko as General Secretary of the CPSU in 1985, began to work out economic but not political reforms. Nevertheless, he brutally suppressed the Red Square protests of 1989, sparked by the death of former Premier Yuri Andropov. Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, who was sympathetic to the protesters, was put under house arrest. In 1990, Soviet troops entered Berlin and arrested German premier Hans Modrow, who tried to carry out political reforms. Yugoslavia and Italy, along with the Non-Alignment Movement, began to move closer to the Free Democratic Alliance after the Soviet invasion of Germany. Thanks to the Kennedy Doctrine and Powell Plan, member states of the Free Democratic Alliance experienced huge economic recovery.
[14] While the economic recovery of the West continues, the seemingly endless cold war tension and gigantic military expenditures finally unleash a backlash. While the USA and her allies do not pull back from their current positions, more focus is placed on intra-Democratic and domestic investments.

Reform movements similar to the ones in Germany are crushed in Iran, Poland, Sweden, Finland, North India and Turkey.
[15] Running on the platform of detente with the Soviet bloc, Carter was reelected by comfortable margins. On the other hand, France officially joined the increasingly pro-FDA Non-Alignment Movement. In China, a bloody civil war between provinces occurred. Gradually, northern and more conservative provinces were united into the Democratic Republic of China by Wang Dongxing, who was heavily financed by the Soviet Union. While southern and reformist provinces, led by Zhejiang governor Bao Tong, were gradually united into the Federal Republic of China, thanks to the support of troops loyal to late Ye Jianying.In January 1999, Soviet leader Eduard Shevardnadze, President Jimmy Carter, President Bao Tong and General Secretary Wang Dongxing reached a ceasefire between North China and South China. All 4 of them were awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 2000. FR China would go on to become a stable democracy with rapid economic growth, and a strong ally of the United States; and is the 4th largest economy as of 2020.
[16] In a 1999 Supreme Court Ruling, Howard Johnson International vs. The United States the Supreme Court ruled that the Government cannot limit campaign contributions from a company as it infringes on free speech. This opened the gates for New York Governor and Multi-Billionaire CEO of one of the largest multinational companies in the world, Steve Forbes backs his own campaign with over with over $1 Billion in personal funds and over $1 Billion in campaign contributions from other companies shattering Jimmy Carters 1992 Presidential Campaigns donation record. His pouring of funds into the campaign let him run a ferocious campaign against the Liberal Democrat candidate Ann Richards.
[17] President Forbes reelected in a landslide, due to strong economic recovery after the cybernet bubble burst (1999-2001), though not necessarily because of the president's supply-side economic policies. In the Soviet Union, after the brief leadership of Gennady Yanayev (1999-2005), economic reforms of the 1980s significantly slow down, while armanent race with the United States reemerges. After his stroke in 2005, he is succeeded by reformist Sergei M. Plekhanov. General Secretary Sergei M. Plekhanov begins to push for political reforms like Glasnost; as well as a return to the economic reforms of the 1980s. President Fobes and General Secretaary Plekhanov signs the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty in 2006, paving the way towards the end of the Cold War.

[1]First President to win a fourth term.
[2]First President to win a consecutive third term.
[3]After a deadly war in Europe and a harsh recession following the armistice, the Socialist Party wins it's first election.
[4] White Upton Sinclair's administration is popular among the electorate, not much is accomplished do to the overwhelming majority of congress being either democratic or republican. Very few socialists were elected in the surprise breakthrough back in '20. This time around the Republicans and Democrats are demolished by the unhappy electorate gaining a large majority of seats the senate and a supermajority in the house
[5] After 16 years of Socialist rule, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. is elected president on the Democratic Republican ticket. He won a three-way race over Socialist nominee Henry A. Wallace and Populist nominee Huey Long.
[6] Following a scandal in the White House, the Socialist Party goes into a downward spiral, allowing liberal Thomas Dewey to become President by a large majority in 1948.
[7] Narrowly elected in the 6 way election of 1956. First Catholic President.
[8] Narrowly elected in the 18 way election of 1960.
[9] 7 non-Fascist conservative parties merged to form the Conservative Party, leading to Lindbergh's landslide in the electoral college in a 7-way race, where Lindbergh himself won 39% of the popular vote.
[10] Rockefeller's Democrat-Republicans win a landslide vote against the far right Conservatives, putting through several financial reforms and cut corporate taxes, leading to a booming economy.
[11] Sign into law, the Civil Rights Act, granting all races equal rights. This pushes away Democrat-Republican conservatives to the Conservative Party, making it more left-wing in terms of ideology.
[12] The Democratic-Republicans are renamed the Progressives.
[13] After Great Political Massacre of 2005 in which 75% of congress was gunned down and the President, VP and speaker were all killed, 103 year old President Pro Tempore Strom Thurmond becomes POTUS, he having lived longer than expected (he will end up living to 115) Horrifically large riots erupt in every city with many state legislatures meeting and considering legal protests of the new president. Some massacres of rioters and protestors occur in the South, while in the west and New England, the national guard refuses to fire on protestors.
[14] After the death of President Thurmond, Speaker Dennis Kucinich assumes the presidency.
[15] The murders of President Kucinich and his VP Sanders on live TV lead to new Speaker Rod Blagojevich and former presidential candidate Jimmy Carter to become to become the new President and VP of the USA.
[16] Immediately after his election, the Communist Party was outlawed. Martial law was declared all over the nation. The 2010 midterms were indefinitely postponed. In January 2012, President Duke moved to a permanent military base, well-protected by loyal supporters and the military.
[17] Order in the USA completely breaks down. The west coast, Hawaii, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, the Dakota, Wyoming, New England, New York and various sections of the Midwest declare for the Brown/Cuomo provisional government. However, there is exceptionally violent fratricidal partisan activity from Boise to Chicago and while this government technically is contiguous, it is quite tenuous. Various military bases and isolated communities throughout the country declare for Brown/Cuomo but little can be done for them. Clear borders in the 'heartland' are impossible. Most of Florida declares for a rival "Floridian" USA, with some parts of the deep south following. The "legitimate government" of David Duke holds out in a completely ruined government, commanding most of the deep south and large sections of kentucky, and Tennessee. His kill squads are causes for terror and death from Houston to parts of Upstate New York. Utah declares independence and controls various sections of Nevada and Idaho. Rick Perry and George Bush lead a newly independent Texas, but is besiged on all sides by the Duke, Brown, the Paul (which controls Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska and large sections of Texas) and even the occasional Scott armies. Not long for this world. Much of the country is an uncontrolled grey area, with Eastern Front and Serbian level violence. A broad band from Colorado to Pennsylvania can not truly be considered to have any government at all and the infrastructure completely breaks down. Various regions are controlled by AWOL generals, tin pot would be dictators, the occasional commune and quite often an alliance of White Nationalists, Militias and evangelical Christian movements. Most of the world throws its support behind the Brown government, while Mexico increasingly has no respect for the border. Dozens of nuclear weapons are unaccounted for. Overseas forces too are rather split and occupied Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan are thrown into a bizarre reenactment of the American civil war between various American factions. This of course doesn't include the Islamic sides of the war too. Forces in Japan and Germany are isolated by their respective governments though violence is common there too. The world economy crashes. Nuclear weapons are deployed in Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky and Louisiana.
[18] Jesus Christ comes back on December 22nd, 2012, putting an end to all chaos around the world - after the Tribulation, caused by the nuclear destruction of Yellowstone.
[19] The Son of God is assassinated by a crazed fan. The Transvestite Alliance and Scientologists fill the void.
[20] Mike Huckabee and Franklin Graham, claiming that the so-called Jesus Christ that appeared in 2012 was indeed the Antichrist, defeated Paul by a landslide.
[21] The 109 year old (and completely senile) Ronald Reagan and the 122 year old Golda Meir are elected after Mike Huckabee and Graham are caught in bed with both each other and a 16 year old blind prostitute.

Yeah, I know right? Personally I like the American Zionist Party ticket the most. Though Golda being 140 and VP again is pretty nice.
My favorite quote
The long suffering American Zionist Party recreates their ticket from 64 years before and nominates the 138 year old David ben Gurion and two time (and seemingly destine to wait forever) vice president Golda Meir. The Jesus Was Lord Party wins the popular vote but ironically since the Great Jesus Electoral Reform Act of a few years past bases the election on congressional districts, the election was fully gerrymandered for Zionist victory.

[1] The Republicans nominate isolationist Bob Taft who runs on a ticket with Burton K Wheeler. This leads to reformation of the Democrats as the Liberal Democratic Party.
[2] Robert Taft forms the Conservative Party and absorb most Southern Democrats and Conservative Republicans, defeating unpopular President Roosevelt (who was seen as arrogant for seeking a third term, and wanting a long term presence in Europe) in a narrow election shortly after the 3rd Reich falls to the allies
[3] After both Germany and Korea fell to Communism, public sentiment against Communism and Taft's isolationism grew. President Taft became extremely unpopular and was defeated in a landslide by General Eisenhower.
[4] President Eisenhower becomes the third President in a row to lose reelection-while his foreign policy is popular, his failed attempts at Civil Rights and Socialized Medicine are not popular.
[5] President Thurmond impeached in June 1955, after he ordered troops into Washington DC and murdered 29 civil rights protesters. Halleck, the new president and a staunch conservative, surprisingly pushed forward civil rights legislation and national reconciliation. The Civil Rights Act of 1956 was passed with bipartisan support.
[6] Following the infamous "Roosevelt Island Massacre", and the Impeachment of President Thurmond, President Halleck is narrowly reelected, as his attempts at national reconciliation are popular.
[7] Gaylord Nelson was the three term governor of Wisoconsin. Although largely uninterested in the Presidency, his record as a liberal governor in the moderate state, and his disgust at the Conservative party, leads him to run. He picks James Roosevelt as his VP. The Nelson adminsitration pushes hard for Civil Rights legislation,building on the legacy of the Halleck administration. Under Nelson's tenure, the Civil Rights Act of 1962 is passed. The Nelson Administration also sees the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, the passing of the National Environmental Act, which seeks to cut carbon emissions within the United States by 15 percent by 1980, a significant expansion of the National Park system, and the creation of the Comsumer Safety cabinet position.
[8] Halleck returns to power on the backs of anti-environmental angst, stagflation, and the advancement on communism on every continent, Mexico having elected a communist government and the Red Shirts marching in to Paris being the final straws.
[9] Halleck and Nixon both killed by gunmen while at a campaign rally by suspected communist's. Speaker of the House Albert accends to the presidency and selects fellow congressman Tip O'Neill as his Vice President.
[10] Due to a massive upswing and the SPUSA and CPUSA vote in the election, the race is thrown to Congress. The new government paints itself as a unity government "Which faces the imminent threat of Global Communism." The "Third Red Scare" begins. Communists are elected in to power in Italy, finally. Spain tear itself apart, far worse than before, in a second civil war. Red Revolution races across the Arab and African world.
[11] Communist groups in the US lost momentum and managed to win only 3 seats in the Congress in 1980, due to public outcry after Communist riots or "uprisings" across the nation that killed more than 7,000. State of emergency has been declared in many states. Bush's strong actions against Communist rioters gained him huge popularity, and he was reelected in a landslide under the platform of peace and order. Communist Italy, under prime minister Enrico Berlinguer, did not join the Soviet bloc, but instead chose to enter the Non-Aligned Movement. The Berlinguer government, despite pushing for sweeping social reforms, strictly followed the principles of democracy and the rule of law, and his government was reelected in a landslide. In France, Jacques Chirac was elected president, winning 71% of the popular vote in the second round against PCF nominee Georges Marchais, winning the endorsement of many other candidates including President François Mitterrand, who failed to enter the second round. The PCF would gradually be marginalized after the election of 1981 due to internal split.
[12] While the revolts and poor election results of the last election were bad news for the people's movements in the USA, they continue to survive, capturing a fair number of seats in congress. The general state of emergency in the USA continues, while huge investment is finally poured into the USA's few remaining Democratic capitalist allies. The Free Democratic alliance is formed with the USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, Norway, Iceland, (Exile) Netherlands, Free Denmark in Faeroes and Greenland, Ireland, Japan, Australia and New Zealand as founding members. However these few Democratic states can do little to stop the spread of communism outside of their own relatively limited spheres of power. The besieged white state in South Africa is denied entry do to various "Human rights issues." The Soviet Union and her Comintern go from strength to strength as certain economic reforms shake up the old system. Italy's non-aligned movement gains some strength but is forced to toe the Soviet line to some extent do tue geopolitical realities, while France, having no neighbouring friends is neutralized and powerless. Soviet tinkering is post-Mao China has split the weak PRC to a great extent, and regional influences are overtaking the collapsing central government.

[18] Leonard Askew, President of the United States, is the first Hispanic American President. He has an American name because his father was Anglo-American. His mother was Cuban. Barack Obama is the first African-American Vice President. Askew, nicknamed "Lucky Leo" for the luck he had in his Presidency, passed many laws dealing with many things.

Thanks to the Kennedy Doctrine and Powell Plan, member states of the Free Democratic Alliance experienced huge economic recovery.
[14] While the economic recovery of the West continues, the seemingly endless cold war tension and gigantic military expenditures finally unleash a backlash. While the USA and her allies do not pull back from their current positions, more focus is placed on intra-Democratic and domestic investments. The Soviet Union is too large and too dangerous an animal to attempt to confront and contain head on. Reform movements similar to the ones in Germany are crushed in Iran, Poland, Sweden, Finland, North India and Turkey.
[15] Running on the platform of detente with the Soviet bloc, Carter was reelected by comfortable margins. On the other hand, France officially joined the increasingly pro-FDA Non-Alignment Movement. In China, a bloody civil war between provinces occurred. Gradually, northern and more conservative provinces were united into the Democratic Republic of China by Wang Dongxing, who was heavily financed by the Soviet Union. While southern and reformist provinces, led by Zhejiang governor Bao Tong, were gradually united into the Federal Republic of China, thanks to the support of troops loyal to late Ye Jianying.In January 1999, Soviet leader Eduard Shevardnadze, President Jimmy Carter, President Bao Tong and General Secretary Wang Dongxing reached a ceasefire between North China and South China. All 4 of them were awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 2000. FR China would go on to become a stable democracy with rapid economic growth, and a strong ally of the United States; and is the 4th largest economy as of 2020.
[16] In a 1999 Supreme Court Ruling, Howard Johnson International vs. The United States the Supreme Court ruled that the Government cannot limit campaign contributions from a company as it infringes on free speech. This opened the gates for New York Governor and Multi-Billionaire CEO of one of the largest multinational companies in the world, Steve Forbes backs his own campaign with over with over $1 Billion in personal funds and over $1 Billion in campaign contributions from other companies shattering Jimmy Carters 1992 Presidential Campaigns donation record. His pouring of funds into the campaign let him run a ferocious campaign against the Liberal Democrat candidate Ann Richards.
[17] President Forbes reelected in a landslide, due to strong economic recovery after the cybernet bubble burst (1999-2001), though not necessarily because of the president's supply-side economic policies. In the Soviet Union, after the brief leadership of Gennady Yanayev (1999-2005), economic reforms of the 1980s significantly slow down, while armanent race with the United States reemerges. After his stroke in 2005, he is succeeded by reformist Sergei M. Plekhanov. General Secretary Sergei M. Plekhanov begins to push for political reforms like Glasnost; as well as a return to the economic reforms of the 1980s. President Fobes and General Secretaary Plekhanov signs the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty in 2006, paving the way towards the end of the Cold War.
[18] Leonard Askew, President of the United States, is the first Hispanic American President. He has an American name because his father was Anglo-American. His mother was Cuban. Barack Obama is the first African-American Vice President. Askew, nicknamed "Lucky Leo" for the luck he had in his Presidency, passed many laws dealing with many things.
[19] Barack Obama appointed Chief Justice, and is replaced by Governor Tom Cruise of New York as Vice President.

2012: Barack Obama / Patty Murray (L-D) [19]
[1] The Republicans nominate isolationist Bob Taft who runs on a ticket with Burton K Wheeler. This leads to reformation of the Democrats as the Liberal Democratic Party.
[2] Robert Taft forms the Conservative Party and absorb most Southern Democrats and Conservative Republicans, defeating unpopular President Roosevelt (who was seen as arrogant for seeking a third term, and wanting a long term presence in Europe) in a narrow election shortly after the 3rd Reich falls to the allies
[3] After both Germany and Korea fell to Communism, public sentiment against Communism and Taft's isolationism grew. President Taft became extremely unpopular and was defeated in a landslide by General Eisenhower.
[4] President Eisenhower becomes the third President in a row to lose reelection-while his foreign policy is popular, his failed attempts at Civil Rights and Socialized Medicine are not popular.
[5] President Thurmond impeached in June 1955, after he ordered troops into Washington DC and murdered 29 civil rights protesters. Halleck, the new president and a staunch conservative, surprisingly pushed forward civil rights legislation and national reconciliation. The Civil Rights Act of 1956 was passed with bipartisan support.
[6] Following the infamous "Roosevelt Island Massacre", and the Impeachment of President Thurmond, President Halleck is narrowly reelected, as his attempts at national reconciliation are popular.
[7] Gaylord Nelson was the three term governor of Wisoconsin. Although largely uninterested in the Presidency, his record as a liberal governor in the moderate state, and his disgust at the Conservative party, leads him to run. He picks James Roosevelt as his VP. The Nelson adminsitration pushes hard for Civil Rights legislation,building on the legacy of the Halleck administration. Under Nelson's tenure, the Civil Rights Act of 1962 is passed. The Nelson Administration also sees the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, the passing of the National Environmental Act, which seeks to cut carbon emissions within the United States by 15 percent by 1980, a significant expansion of the National Park system, and the creation of the Comsumer Safety cabinet position.
[8] Halleck returns to power on the backs of anti-environmental angst, stagflation, and the advancement on communism on every continent, Mexico having elected a communist government and the Red Shirts marching in to Paris being the final straws.
[9] Halleck and Nixon both killed by gunmen while at a campaign rally by suspected communist's. Speaker of the House Albert accends to the presidency and selects fellow congressman Tip O'Neill as his Vice President.
[10] Due to a massive upswing and the SPUSA and CPUSA vote in the election, the race is thrown to Congress. The new government paints itself as a unity government "Which faces the imminent threat of Global Communism." The "Third Red Scare" begins. Communists are elected in to power in Italy, finally. Spain tear itself apart, far worse than before, in a second civil war. Red Revolution races across the Arab and African world.
[11] Communist groups in the US lost momentum and managed to win only 3 seats in the Congress in 1980, due to public outcry after Communist riots or "uprisings" across the nation that killed more than 7,000. State of emergency has been declared in many states. Bush's strong actions against Communist rioters gained him huge popularity, and he was reelected in a landslide under the platform of peace and order. Communist Italy, under prime minister Enrico Berlinguer, did not join the Soviet bloc, but instead chose to enter the Non-Aligned Movement. The Berlinguer government, despite pushing for sweeping social reforms, strictly followed the principles of democracy and the rule of law, and his government was reelected in a landslide. In France, Jacques Chirac was elected president, winning 71% of the popular vote in the second round against PCF nominee Georges Marchais, winning the endorsement of many other candidates including President François Mitterrand, who failed to enter the second round. The PCF would gradually be marginalized after the election of 1981 due to internal split.
[12] While the revolts and poor election results of the last election were bad news for the people's movements in the USA, they continue to survive, capturing a fair number of seats in congress. The general state of emergency in the USA continues, while huge investment is finally poured into the USA's few remaining Democratic capitalist allies. The Free Democratic alliance is formed with the USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, Norway, Iceland, (Exile) Netherlands, Free Denmark in Faeroes and Greenland, Ireland, Japan, Australia and New Zealand as founding members. However these few Democratic states can do little to stop the spread of communism outside of their own relatively limited spheres of power. The besieged white state in South Africa is denied entry do to various "Human rights issues." The Soviet Union and her Comintern go from strength to strength as certain economic reforms shake up the old system. Italy's non-aligned movement gains some strength but is forced to toe the Soviet line to some extent do tue geopolitical realities, while France, having no neighbouring friends is neutralized and powerless. Soviet tinkering is post-Mao China has split the weak PRC to a great extent, and regional influences are overtaking the collapsing central government. Israel, seeing where the wind is blowing elects a Labor government and signs a number of "accommodation" treaties with the Comintern to protect itself against her only neighbor, the Greater People's Arab Democratic Republic
[13] Disliking the vice-presidency, Dole opted to return to the Senate. Since 1984, the Soviet Union began to experience minor economic difficulties, and began to cease financial aid to Communist activities in Western democracies including the United States. Soviet leader Yegor Ligachev, who succeeded Konstantin Chernenko as General Secretary of the CPSU in 1985, began to work out economic but not political reforms. Nevertheless, he brutally suppressed the Red Square protests of 1989, sparked by the death of former Premier Yuri Andropov. Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, who was sympathetic to the protesters, was put under house arrest. In 1990, Soviet troops entered Berlin and arrested German premier Hans Modrow, who tried to carry out political reforms. Yugoslavia and Italy, along with the Non-Alignment Movement, began to move closer to the Free Democratic Alliance after the Soviet invasion of Germany. Thanks to the Kennedy Doctrine and Powell Plan, member states of the Free Democratic Alliance experienced huge economic recovery.

Nevertheless, he brutally suppressed the Red Square protests of 1989, sparked by the death of former Premier Yuri Andropov. Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, who was sympathetic to the protesters, was put under house arrest. In 1990, Soviet troops entered Berlin and arrested German premier Hans Modrow, who tried to carry out political reforms. Yugoslavia and Italy, along with the Non-Alignment Movement, began to move closer to the Free Democratic Alliance after the Soviet invasion of Germany. Thanks to the Kennedy Doctrine and Powell Plan, member states of the Free Democratic Alliance experienced huge economic recovery.
[14] While the economic recovery of the West continues, the seemingly endless cold war tension and gigantic military expenditures finally unleash a backlash. While the USA and her allies do not pull back from their current positions, more focus is placed on intra-Democratic and domestic investments. The Soviet Union is too large and too dangerous an animal to attempt to confront and contain head on. Reform movements similar to the ones in Germany are crushed in Iran, Poland, Sweden, Finland, North India and Turkey.
[15] Running on the platform of detente with the Soviet bloc, Carter was reelected by comfortable margins. On the other hand, France officially joined the increasingly pro-FDA Non-Alignment Movement. In China, a bloody civil war between provinces occurred. Gradually, northern and more conservative provinces were united into the Democratic Republic of China by Wang Dongxing, who was heavily financed by the Soviet Union. While southern and reformist provinces, led by Zhejiang governor Bao Tong, were gradually united into the Federal Republic of China, thanks to the support of troops loyal to late Ye Jianying.In January 1999, Soviet leader Eduard Shevardnadze, President Jimmy Carter, President Bao Tong and General Secretary Wang Dongxing reached a ceasefire between North China and South China. All 4 of them were awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 2000. FR China would go on to become a stable democracy with rapid economic growth, and a strong ally of the United States; and is the 4th largest economy as of 2020.
[16] In a 1999 Supreme Court Ruling, Howard Johnson International vs. The United States the Supreme Court ruled that the Government cannot limit campaign contributions from a company as it infringes on free speech. This opened the gates for New York Governor and Multi-Billionaire CEO of one of the largest multinational companies in the world, Steve Forbes backs his own campaign with over with over $1 Billion in personal funds and over $1 Billion in campaign contributions from other companies shattering Jimmy Carters 1992 Presidential Campaigns donation record. His pouring of funds into the campaign let him run a ferocious campaign against the Liberal Democrat candidate Ann Richards.
[17] President Forbes reelected in a landslide, due to strong economic recovery after the cybernet bubble burst (1999-2001), though not necessarily because of the president's supply-side economic policies. In the Soviet Union, after the brief leadership of Gennady Yanayev (1999-2005), economic reforms of the 1980s significantly slow down, while armanent race with the United States reemerges. After his stroke in 2005, he is succeeded by reformist Sergei M. Plekhanov. General Secretary Sergei M. Plekhanov begins to push for political reforms like Glasnost; as well as a return to the economic reforms of the 1980s. President Fobes and General Secretaary Plekhanov signs the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty in 2006, paving the way towards the end of the Cold War.
[18] Leonard Askew, President of the United States, is the first Hispanic American President. He has an American name because his father was Anglo-American. His mother was Cuban. Barack Obama is the first African-American Vice President. Askew, nicknamed "Lucky Leo" for the luck he had in his Presidency, passed many laws dealing with many things.
[19] Barack Obama appointed Chief Justice, and is replaced by Governor Tom Cruise of New York as Vice President.

[1] The Republicans nominate isolationist Bob Taft who runs on a ticket with Burton K Wheeler. This leads to reformation of the Democrats as the Liberal Democratic Party.
[2] Robert Taft forms the Conservative Party and absorb most Southern Democrats and Conservative Republicans, defeating unpopular President Roosevelt (who was seen as arrogant for seeking a third term, and wanting a long term presence in Europe) in a narrow election shortly after the 3rd Reich falls to the allies
[3] After both Germany and Korea fell to Communism, public sentiment against Communism and Taft's isolationism grew. President Taft became extremely unpopular and was defeated in a landslide by General Eisenhower.
[4] President Eisenhower becomes the third President in a row to lose reelection-while his foreign policy is popular, his failed attempts at Civil Rights and Socialized Medicine are not popular.
[5] President Thurmond impeached in June 1955, after he ordered troops into Washington DC and murdered 29 civil rights protesters. Halleck, the new president and a staunch conservative, surprisingly pushed forward civil rights legislation and national reconciliation. The Civil Rights Act of 1956 was passed with bipartisan support.
[6] Following the infamous "Roosevelt Island Massacre", and the Impeachment of President Thurmond, President Halleck is narrowly reelected, as his attempts at national reconciliation are popular.
[7] Gaylord Nelson was the three term governor of Wisoconsin. Although largely uninterested in the Presidency, his record as a liberal governor in the moderate state, and his disgust at the Conservative party, leads him to run. He picks James Roosevelt as his VP. The Nelson adminsitration pushes hard for Civil Rights legislation,building on the legacy of the Halleck administration. Under Nelson's tenure, the Civil Rights Act of 1962 is passed. The Nelson Administration also sees the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, the passing of the National Environmental Act, which seeks to cut carbon emissions within the United States by 15 percent by 1980, a significant expansion of the National Park system, and the creation of the Comsumer Safety cabinet position.
[8] Halleck returns to power on the backs of anti-environmental angst, stagflation, and the advancement on communism on every continent, Mexico having elected a communist government and the Red Shirts marching in to Paris being the final straws.
[9] Halleck and Nixon both killed by gunmen while at a campaign rally by suspected communist's. Speaker of the House Albert accends to the presidency and selects fellow congressman Tip O'Neill as his Vice President.
[10] Due to a massive upswing and the SPUSA and CPUSA vote in the election, the race is thrown to Congress. The new government paints itself as a unity government "Which faces the imminent threat of Global Communism." The "Third Red Scare" begins. Communists are elected in to power in Italy, finally. Spain tear itself apart, far worse than before, in a second civil war. Red Revolution races across the Arab and African world.
[11] Communist groups in the US lost momentum and managed to win only 3 seats in the Congress in 1980, due to public outcry after Communist riots or "uprisings" across the nation that killed more than 7,000. State of emergency has been declared in many states. Bush's strong actions against Communist rioters gained him huge popularity, and he was reelected in a landslide under the platform of peace and order. Communist Italy, under prime minister Enrico Berlinguer, did not join the Soviet bloc, but instead chose to enter the Non-Aligned Movement. The Berlinguer government, despite pushing for sweeping social reforms, strictly followed the principles of democracy and the rule of law, and his government was reelected in a landslide. In France, Jacques Chirac was elected president, winning 71% of the popular vote in the second round against PCF nominee Georges Marchais, winning the endorsement of many other candidates including President François Mitterrand, who failed to enter the second round. The PCF would gradually be marginalized after the election of 1981 due to internal split.
[12] While the revolts and poor election results of the last election were bad news for the people's movements in the USA, they continue to survive, capturing a fair number of seats in congress. The general state of emergency in the USA continues, while huge investment is finally poured into the USA's few remaining Democratic capitalist allies. The Free Democratic alliance is formed with the USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, Norway, Iceland, (Exile) Netherlands, Free Denmark in Faeroes and Greenland, Ireland, Japan, Australia and New Zealand as founding members. However these few Democratic states can do little to stop the spread of communism outside of their own relatively limited spheres of power. The besieged white state in South Africa is denied entry do to various "Human rights issues." The Soviet Union and her Comintern go from strength to strength as certain economic reforms shake up the old system. Italy's non-aligned movement gains some strength but is forced to toe the Soviet line to some extent do tue geopolitical realities, while France, having no neighbouring friends is neutralized and powerless. Soviet tinkering is post-Mao China has split the weak PRC to a great extent, and regional influences are overtaking the collapsing central government. Israel, seeing where the wind is blowing elects a Labor government and signs a number of "accommodation" treaties with the Comintern to protect itself against her only neighbor, the Greater People's Arab Democratic Republic
[13] Disliking the vice-presidency, Dole opted to return to the Senate. Since 1984, the Soviet Union began to experience minor economic difficulties, and began to cease financial aid to Communist activities in Western democracies including the United States. Soviet leader Yegor Ligachev, who succeeded Konstantin Chernenko as General Secretary of the CPSU in 1985, began to work out economic but not political reforms.

[12] Scott Brown, the Governor of Massachusetts, runs a highly successful and energitic campaign as a 'Gregg Republican', which results in him winning several traditionally Democratic states, including Oregon which at that point hadn't voted for a Republican since Reagan in 1972. During his time in office he oversaw respectable economic growth and his most important achievement during his two terms is considered to be the massive education reform package.

I start again. New Point of Divergence: Everything that happens in Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon happens in real life, and in 1880, Impey Barbicane is one of the most popular and celebrated characters in the United States (and the world for that matter). Hoping that he can win the Solid South, the Republican Party gives him the nomination in 1880, and boy, does he win: In a landslide!

2020: Jake Featherston / Tagg Romney (R) [4]
[1] The Reform Party appeals to many conservative voters over the immense deficits the Republican administrations that the Reagan and Bush presidencies have accumulated. They win a narrow surprise victory, defeating the Democratic ticket of Bill Clinton and Paul Tsongas. The Republican ticket makes a poor showing, winning merely 23 electoral votes. Along with Reform Party candidates winning senatorial seats in Alabama, Florida, Utah, Wyoming, Indiana and Minnesota, some commentators speculate that this could be the end of the Republican Party as the major centre-right party of the United States.
[2] Former President Powell, who refused to run for reelection in 2004, has moved significantly to the right, becoming a staunch neoconservative and goes on to defeat President Wellstone in a landslide victory, thanks to the outbreak of the Panic of 2008. However, Powell is assassinated by a Wellstone supporter on January 12, 2009. VP-elect Charlie Crist becomes president, who nominates Tim Pawlenty the VP.
[3] Featherston proves to be the most popular of all the vice presidents.
[4] Featherston easily wins a second term. Tagg Romney will win the 2024 election, due to he being Featherston' VP. The Democrat Party will be dead by Tagg's second term , and America will be a democracy in name only.

Yet Another List of Presidents
1940-1948: Cordell Hull (D-TN) / Alben W. Barkley (D-KY) [1]
[1] As 1940 rolled around, President Roosevelt initially intended to seek a third term as President, however as he was struck by a rather nasty stroke in late 1939 which would leave him completely paralyzed on his left side, he decided reluctantly to step back and not run again. He used his power within the Democratic Party to get the party to nominate Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who picked Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley as his running mate. He would go on and resoundly defeat Republican nominee Wendell Willkie in the general election. During his first term he had to deal with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entrance into World War II. However as the 1944 election approached the war had begun to turn in the Allies' favor and Hull defeated Republican challenger Robert Taft by a very comfortable margin. In his second term WWII would be brought to a close, the United Nations established and the world could finally calm down for the first time in almost a decade. In 1948 his Vice President Alben W. Barkley would clinch to party's nomination despite a strong challenge by Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, however whether Barkley can win in the general remains doubtful considering the unfavorable climate towards the Democrats after having been in power for 16 years, as well as a strong challenger in the form of Thomas Dewey.

However he would not be able to fulfill his final term in office as he passed away from a stroke in early 1963, to be succeded by Vice President Kennedy.

Yet Another List of Presidents
1940: Cordell Hull (D-TN) / Alben W. Barkley (D-KY) [1]
1944: Cordell Hull (D-TN) / Alben W. Barkley (D-KY)
1948: Thomas Dewey (R-NY) / George S. Patton (R-CA) [2]
1952: Thomas Dewey (R-NY) / George S. Patton (R-CA)
1956: Adlai Stevenson (D-IL) / Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (D-MA)
1960: Adlai Stevenson (D-IL) / Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (D-MA)
1964: Richard Nixon (R-CA) / Nelson Rockefeller (R-NY)
[1] As 1940 rolled around, President Roosevelt initially intended to seek a third term as President, however as he was struck by a rather nasty stroke in late 1939 which would leave him completely paralyzed on his left side, he decided reluctantly to step back and not run again. He used his power within the Democratic Party to get the party to nominate Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who picked Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley as his running mate. He would go on and resoundly defeat Republican nominee Wendell Willkie in the general election. During his first term he had to deal with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entrance into World War II. However as the 1944 election approached the war had begun to turn in the Allies' favor and Hull defeated Republican challenger Robert Taft by a very comfortable margin. In his second term WWII would be brought to a close, the United Nations established and the world could finally calm down for the first time in almost a decade. In 1948 his Vice President Alben W. Barkley would clinch to party's nomination despite a strong challenge by Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, however whether Barkley can win in the general remains doubtful considering the unfavorable climate towards the Democrats after having been in power for 16 years, as well as a strong challenger in the form of Thomas Dewey.
[2] The Chinese Civil War finally comes to an end. The People's Republic of Manchuria and the Democratic Republic of East Turkey are formed, while other parts of China remain under KMT control. Chinese president Chen Cheng, on the urge of the United States, reluctantly accepted ceasefire. The ceasefire was however seen more as a blow to President Dewey, but he managed to win a stunning victory in the presidential election of 1952, when all polls predicted him to lose.
[3] Stevenson would win one of the narrowest election ever when up against Republican nominee Senator Richard Nixon. Although he did win the electoral vote by comfortable margin, he lost the popular vote which would end up casting a shadow over the beginning of his first term. He presided over moderate economic growth and period of relative peace and stability in the outside world which would lead to him winning reelection by a fair margin up against former Massachusetts Governor Henry Cabot Lodge. However he would not be able to fulfill his final term in office as he passed away from a stroke in early 1963, to be succeded by Vice President Kennedy.
OOC: Dont do set terms. Do it on a election by election basis, its more fair. Anyone can put "Super Reagan/Super Bussh" 1980-2004, and it ruins the list.

[1] Cox is assassinated.
[2] The Roaring 20s are coming to a close.... ;)
[3] A Conservative Party is formed from the southern Democrats and Republican Parties due to irritation with the Roosevelt Administration's handling of the Great Depression, worse than OTL, which will dominate Congress for the next half century similar to OTLs new deal coalition. Make Coolidge live, I dare you!
[4] Calvin steps down, despite war breaking out in Europe, citing old age and no other president having governed for more than two terms. Davis declines to run. Robert Taft, the senate majority leader, is nominated an elected. As per the last two elections, the Conservative Party wins in a landslide.
[5] Followed by the collapse of the Republican Party, many of the liberals switch to the Democrats, including popular Senator Thomas Dewey, in 1948. He wins in a landslide.
[6] With the rise of the threat of Communism in Eastern Europe and Asia, and the percieved lack of strength in the Dewey administration over the loss of China and the stalemate in Korea, popular general Douglas MacArthur is elected in a flurry of the red scare and a desire from the American people to be proteced by a strong leader. MacArthur who was denied a command in the Korean conflict by president Dewey due to personal distrust vows to "go to Korea myself" to end the conflict.
[7] Dissatisfaction over the ongoing war in Korea and MacArthur's apathetic approach to civil rights leads to the election of Democrat Stuart Symington. Further strengthening the Democratic party's bond with the former Republicans who have joined their ranks, he selects Connecticut Senator Prescott Bush as his running mate.
[8] Symington is attacked, and is severely wounded. He decides to let Bush run for President.
[9] Leonard Askew, seeing Democrat power, establishes the Modern Republican Party in 1964. Many people vote for them, and this number increased, until in 1972, Leonard Askew is sworn in as President
[10] The global oil crisis costs Askew the election of 1976. Conservative James Stewart narrowly wins the 3-way race over President Askew and Democratic nominee George H. W. Bush.
[11] With President Stewart's failure in dealing with the growing economic crisis, the Modern Republicans and the Democrats both see 1980 as an opportunity. While the Modern Republicans easily renominate former President Askew, the Democrats have a long and contentious primary which eventually leads to New York Governor John Lindsay grabbing the nomination, and in an historic move, he picks actor and Senator Ramón Estevez of Ohio as his running mate, and he thus becomes the first hispanic ever nominated on a major party ticket. Intitially the Lindsay/Estevez ticket is percieved as being too far to the left to be electable nationwide, however after a strong and popular campaign with folksy undertones which appealed to many Americans, John Lindsay was elected President in a landslide.
[12] Economic recovery remains slow, while capitalism has fallen in Asia, and Communists have taken power in Italy and France through elections. John Ashcroft, Governor of Missouri since 1981 and a darkhorse candidate, surprisingly clinches the Conservative nomination. Ashcroft picks General Oliver North, a hero in the Austrian Civil War, as his running mate. In one of the ugliest campaigns in American history, Ashcroft manages to pull off a comfortable victory over President Lindsay and Modern Republican nominee Ron Paul - who is presumably killed in a plane clash 2 days after the election.
[13] With a continuing sluggish economy, in 1988 there's major dissatisfaction with all three major parties. In the end, the far-right populist Christian Heritage Party ticket wins a narrow electoral college majority, despite coming in third on the popular votes, behind the Conservatives and the Democrats.
[14] Japan has fallen into Communism. The Tokyo Wall has fallen, and Japan is united into the Democratic Republic of Japan. After military crackdown on protesters in the "Occupy Wall Street" communist rebellion, Governor Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Congresswoman Angela Davis of California decides wins a narrow victory due to public outcry against the Buchanan regime and perhaps more importantly, the split of reactionary vote between Governor David Duke of Louisiana, the Conservative nominee; and Senator Gary Bauer of Georgia, the CHP nominee. Modern Republican nominee Mike Gravel and Democratic nominee Paul Tsongas fails to gain significant support in the hugely polarized race. Kucinich wins 37% of the popular vote in the 5-way race, and 375 electoral votes.

I've already identified Ron Paul's death in my update on the 1984 election. And indeed, I'm a conservative in the American sense, and I'm pretty much a fiscal conservative and social conservative:p I'm strongly anti-Communist, and I do believe that the world would be better off today without bastards like Mao and Stalin. I won't say Gary Bauer is a reactionary normally, and I do share some of his views. This is a narrative from the direction of a Communist, after the Wall Street massacre in TTL:D

[1] Cox is assassinated.
[2] The Roaring 20s are coming to a close.... ;)
[3] A Conservative Party is formed from the southern Democrats and Republican Parties due to irritation with the Roosevelt Administration's handling of the Great Depression, worse than OTL, which will dominate Congress for the next half century similar to OTLs new deal coalition. Make Coolidge live, I dare you!
[4] Calvin steps down, despite war breaking out in Europe, citing old age and no other president having governed for more than two terms. Davis declines to run. Robert Taft, the senate majority leader, is nominated an elected. As per the last two elections, the Conservative Party wins in a landslide.
[5] Followed by the collapse of the Republican Party, many of the liberals switch to the Democrats, including popular Senator Thomas Dewey, in 1948. He wins in a landslide.
[6] With the rise of the threat of Communism in Eastern Europe and Asia, and the percieved lack of strength in the Dewey administration over the loss of China and the stalemate in Korea, popular general Douglas MacArthur is elected in a flurry of the red scare and a desire from the American people to be proteced by a strong leader. MacArthur who was denied a command in the Korean conflict by president Dewey due to personal distrust vows to "go to Korea myself" to end the conflict.
[7] Dissatisfaction over the ongoing war in Korea and MacArthur's apathetic approach to civil rights leads to the election of Democrat Stuart Symington. Further strengthening the Democratic party's bond with the former Republicans who have joined their ranks, he selects Connecticut Senator Prescott Bush as his running mate.
[8] Symington is attacked, and is severely wounded. He decides to let Bush run for President.
[9] Leonard Askew, seeing Democrat power, establishes the Modern Republican Party in 1964. Many people vote for them, and this number increased, until in 1972, Leonard Askew is sworn in as President
[10] The global oil crisis costs Askew the election of 1976. Conservative James Stewart narrowly wins the 3-way race over President Askew and Democratic nominee George H. W. Bush.
[11] With President Stewart's failure in dealing with the growing economic crisis, the Modern Republicans and the Democrats both see 1980 as an opportunity. While the Modern Republicans easily renominate former President Askew, the Democrats have a long and contentious primary which eventually leads to New York Governor John Lindsay grabbing the nomination, and in an historic move, he picks actor and Senator Ramón Estevez of Ohio as his running mate, and he thus becomes the first hispanic ever nominated on a major party ticket. Intitially the Lindsay/Estevez ticket is percieved as being too far to the left to be electable nationwide, however after a strong and popular campaign with folksy undertones which appealed to many Americans, John Lindsay was elected President in a landslide.
[12] Economic recovery remains slow, while capitalism has fallen in Asia, and Communists have taken power in Italy and France through elections. John Ashcroft, Governor of Missouri since 1981 and a darkhorse candidate, surprisingly clinches the Conservative nomination. Ashcroft picks General Oliver North, a hero in the Austrian Civil War, as his running mate. In one of the ugliest campaigns in American history, Ashcroft manages to pull off a comfortable victory over President Lindsay and Modern Republican nominee Ron Paul - who is presumably killed in a plane clash 2 days after the election.
[13] With a continuing sluggish economy, in 1988 there's major dissatisfaction with all three major parties. In the end, the far-right populist Christian Heritage Party ticket wins a narrow electoral college majority, despite coming in third on the popular votes, behind the Conservatives and the Democrats.
[14] Japan has fallen into Communism. The Tokyo Wall has fallen, and Japan is united into the Democratic Republic of Japan. After military crackdown on protesters in the "Occupy Wall Street" communist rebellion, Governor Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Congresswoman Angela Davis of California decides wins a narrow victory due to public outcry against the Buchanan regime and perhaps more importantly, the split of reactionary vote between Governor David Duke of Louisiana, the Conservative nominee; and Senator Gary Bauer of Georgia, the CHP nominee. Modern Republican nominee Mike Gravel and Democratic nominee Paul Tsongas fails to gain significant support in the hugely polarized race. Kucinich wins 37% of the popular vote in the 5-way race, and 375 electoral votes.
[15] Kucinich assassinated in the March 11th Plot by far-right military officers.

1972: Mark Hatfield (R-OR)/George Romney (R-MI)
1976: Mark Hatfield (R-OR)/George Romney (R-MI)
[1] As 1940 rolled around, President Roosevelt initially intended to seek a third term as President, however as he was struck by a rather nasty stroke in late 1939 which would leave him completely paralyzed on his left side, he decided reluctantly to step back and not run again. He used his power within the Democratic Party to get the party to nominate Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who picked Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley as his running mate. He would go on and resoundly defeat Republican nominee Wendell Willkie in the general election. During his first term he had to deal with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entrance into World War II. However as the 1944 election approached the war had begun to turn in the Allies' favor and Hull defeated Republican challenger Robert Taft by a very comfortable margin. In his second term WWII would be brought to a close, the United Nations established and the world could finally calm down for the first time in almost a decade. In 1948 his Vice President Alben W. Barkley would clinch to party's nomination despite a strong challenge by Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, however whether Barkley can win in the general remains doubtful considering the unfavorable climate towards the Democrats after having been in power for 16 years, as well as a strong challenger in the form of Thomas Dewey.
[2] The Chinese Civil War finally comes to an end. The People's Republic of Manchuria and the Democratic Republic of East Turkey are formed, while other parts of China remain under KMT control. Chinese president Chen Cheng, on the urge of the United States, reluctantly accepted ceasefire. The ceasefire was however seen more as a blow to President Dewey, but he managed to win a stunning victory in the presidential election of 1952, when all polls predicted him to lose.
[3] Stevenson would win one of the narrowest election ever when up against Republican nominee Senator Richard Nixon. Although he did win the electoral vote by comfortable margin, he lost the popular vote which would end up casting a shadow over the beginning of his first term. He presided over moderate economic growth and period of relative peace and stability in the outside world which would lead to him winning reelection by a fair margin up against former Massachusetts Governor Henry Cabot Lodge. However he would not be able to fulfill his final term in office as he passed away from a stroke in early 1963, to be succeded by Vice President Kennedy.
[4] Rockefeller refuses to be renominated for Vice President.

[1] As 1940 rolled around, President Roosevelt initially intended to seek a third term as President, however as he was struck by a rather nasty stroke in late 1939 which would leave him completely paralyzed on his left side, he decided reluctantly to step back and not run again. He used his power within the Democratic Party to get the party to nominate Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who picked Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley as his running mate. He would go on and resoundly defeat Republican nominee Wendell Willkie in the general election. During his first term he had to deal with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entrance into World War II. However as the 1944 election approached the war had begun to turn in the Allies' favor and Hull defeated Republican challenger Robert Taft by a very comfortable margin. In his second term WWII would be brought to a close, the United Nations established and the world could finally calm down for the first time in almost a decade. In 1948 his Vice President Alben W. Barkley would clinch to party's nomination despite a strong challenge by Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, however whether Barkley can win in the general remains doubtful considering the unfavorable climate towards the Democrats after having been in power for 16 years, as well as a strong challenger in the form of Thomas Dewey.
[2] The Chinese Civil War finally comes to an end. The People's Republic of Manchuria and the Democratic Republic of East Turkey are formed, while other parts of China remain under KMT control. Chinese president Chen Cheng, on the urge of the United States, reluctantly accepted ceasefire. The ceasefire was however seen more as a blow to President Dewey, but he managed to win a stunning victory in the presidential election of 1952, when all polls predicted him to lose.
[3] Stevenson would win one of the narrowest election ever when up against Republican nominee Senator Richard Nixon. Although he did win the electoral vote by comfortable margin, he lost the popular vote which would end up casting a shadow over the beginning of his first term. He presided over moderate economic growth and period of relative peace and stability in the outside world which would lead to him winning reelection by a fair margin up against former Massachusetts Governor Henry Cabot Lodge. However he would not be able to fulfill his final term in office as he passed away from a stroke in early 1963, to be succeded by Vice President Kennedy.

[1] Cox is assassinated.
[2] The Roaring 20s are coming to a close.... ;)
[3] A Conservative Party is formed from the southern Democrats and Republican Parties due to irritation with the Roosevelt Administration's handling of the Great Depression, worse than OTL, which will dominate Congress for the next half century similar to OTLs new deal coalition. Make Coolidge live, I dare you!
[4] Calvin steps down, despite war breaking out in Europe, citing old age and no other president having governed for more than two terms. Davis declines to run. Robert Taft, the senate majority leader, is nominated an elected. As per the last two elections, the Conservative Party wins in a landslide.
[5] Followed by the collapse of the Republican Party, many of the liberals switch to the Democrats, including popular Senator Thomas Dewey, in 1948. He wins in a landslide.
[6] With the rise of the threat of Communism in Eastern Europe and Asia, and the percieved lack of strength in the Dewey administration over the loss of China and the stalemate in Korea, popular general Douglas MacArthur is elected in a flurry of the red scare and a desire from the American people to be proteced by a strong leader. MacArthur who was denied a command in the Korean conflict by president Dewey due to personal distrust vows to "go to Korea myself" to end the conflict.
[7] Dissatisfaction over the ongoing war in Korea and MacArthur's apathetic approach to civil rights leads to the election of Democrat Stuart Symington. Further strengthening the Democratic party's bond with the former Republicans who have joined their ranks, he selects Connecticut Senator Prescott Bush as his running mate.
[8] Symington is attacked, and is severely wounded. He decides to let Bush run for President.
[9] Leonard Askew, seeing Democrat power, establishes the Modern Republican Party in 1964. Many people vote for them, and this number increased, until in 1972, Leonard Askew is sworn in as President
[10] The global oil crisis costs Askew the election of 1976. Conservative James Stewart narrowly wins the 3-way race over President Askew and Democratic nominee George H. W. Bush.
[11] With President Stewart's failure in dealing with the growing economic crisis, the Modern Republicans and the Democrats both see 1980 as an opportunity. While the Modern Republicans easily renominate former President Askew, the Democrats have a long and contentious primary which eventually leads to New York Governor John Lindsay grabbing the nomination, and in an historic move, he picks actor and Senator Ramón Estevez of Ohio as his running mate, and he thus becomes the first hispanic ever nominated on a major party ticket. Intitially the Lindsay/Estevez ticket is percieved as being too far to the left to be electable nationwide, however after a strong and popular campaign with folksy undertones which appealed to many Americans, John Lindsay was elected President in a landslide.
[12] Economic recovery remains slow, while capitalism has fallen in Asia, and Communists have taken power in Italy and France through elections. John Ashcroft, Governor of Missouri since 1981 and a darkhorse candidate, surprisingly clinches the Conservative nomination. Ashcroft picks General Oliver North, a hero in the Austrian Civil War, as his running mate. In one of the ugliest campaigns in American history, Ashcroft manages to pull off a comfortable victory over President Lindsay and Modern Republican nominee Ron Paul - who is presumably killed in a plane clash 2 days after the election.
[13] With a continuing sluggish economy, in 1988 there's major dissatisfaction with all three major parties. In the end, the far-right populist Christian Heritage Party ticket wins a narrow electoral college majority, despite coming in third on the popular votes, behind the Conservatives and the Democrats.
[14] Japan has fallen into Communism. The Tokyo Wall has fallen, and Japan is united into the Democratic Republic of Japan. After military crackdown on protesters in the "Occupy Wall Street" communist rebellion, Governor Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Congresswoman Angela Davis of California decides wins a narrow victory due to public outcry against the Buchanan regime and perhaps more importantly, the split of reactionary vote between Governor David Duke of Louisiana, the Conservative nominee; and Senator Gary Bauer of Georgia, the CHP nominee. Modern Republican nominee Mike Gravel and Democratic nominee Paul Tsongas fails to gain significant support in the hugely polarized race. Kucinich wins 37% of the popular vote in the 5-way race, and 375 electoral votes.
[15] Kucinich assassinated in the March 11th Plot by far-right military officers.
[16] Barr resigns, due to personal matters. Rising Modern Republican, Daniel Shambroke, is chosen.

2. The election of Libertarians to congress causes the Dems and Republicans to lose their iron grip on Government. Independent Ross Perot wins in 1996, the Libertarians came in a distant second, but picked up many Congressional seats.

I just joined the forum so I haven't read all 259 pages of this topic. However, based on the above post:
2008:George Allen/Olympia Snowe
The 2007-present financial crisis occurs as per OTL. However, the crisis comes to a head three weeks prior to the nomination convention versus post-convention as in OTL. As the party in power, the Democrats receive the brunt of the blame.
In the 2006 elections, Jim Webb decided not to challenge Sen. Allen and Allen was re-elected in a landslide. Allen defeats former VP Bush, Utah Gov. Mitt Romney (he runs for Utah governor in 2004 after the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and establishes firmer conservative bona fides) and Sen. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) in the primaries. Bush narrowly won Iowa, Allen won New Hampshire, Romney won the Nevada caucus, Huckabee the South Carolina primary by a razor thin margin. Huckabee suffers a mild heart attack four days before the Florida primary and withdraws from the race due to advice from his cardiology team (no weight loss and exercise regimen ITTL). In his withdrawal announcement, he gives an endorsement to Allen as the "best conservative in the race". After winning Florida's late-January primary, Allen cleans up on Super Tuesday and all the serious primary candidates drop out in the proceeding days.
In order to balance the ticket both ideologically and geographically, he chooses Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe as his VP nominee.
VP Bayh wins the Democratic nomination unopposed and nominates Ohio Governor Ted Strickland in an effort to win Ohio.
Due to the financial turmoil, the approval rating for the Feingold/Bayh administration plummets.
On Election Day, the Allen/Snowe ticket receives 57% of the popular vote (including 62% in Indiana and 59% in Ohio) and 471 electoral votes.
The Bayh/Strickland ticket receives 42% of the vote and wins only D.C., Hawai'i, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York (by 93 votes!), Rhode Island and Vermont.
Due to the poor results in Ohio, Strickland announces he will not seek re-election as governor the week after the election.

[1] The Black Monday of November 21, 1927, the stock market crashes. Robert M. La Follette desperately institutes several public works schemes, and initiates what he calls "the Second Square Deal" but to no avail. Attacking "Roosevelt-style progressivism," Al Smith wins the 1928 election in a landslide, riding on a ticket of classical liberalism. During his first 100 days in office, he ends prohibition, drives down tariffs by 50% across the board and cuts the budget and taxation significantly.

2010: Michael Bloomberg / Jon Huntsman, Jr. (R) [11]
[1] With tensions increasing with the Soviet Union, the Democrats pick the older Stevenson as its VP
[2] Charles Phelps Taft was elected Governor of Ohio in 1954; partially as a result of sympathy over his deceased brother, as well as a result of his own accomplishments as Mayor of Cincinnati.
As a former Vice-President, Warren won the nomination over Rockefeller, with the help of former presidential hopefuls, such as Thomas Dewey (who hated Rockefeller) and rising star Prescott Bush.
[3] A moderate Democratic Party supports President Goldwater's War in Vietnam, and especially after nuclear bombs are used more than once on the country, the people become angry, and a powerful antiwar Progressive Party rises in 1968, and wins.
[4] However, after the war ends, the Progressive Party is outcompeted by the older parties and Jake Featherston, a Democrat, rises to power. (NO FASCISM!)
[5] Tip O'Neil is killed by a terrorist bomb plot that blew up the whole White House and left America in political turmoil. Carter takes over, and assumes dictatorial power for 2 years, then re-establishes democracy, and chooses a Vice President, rising Democrat star, William "Bill" Bryson. The Republicans has grew and has a very good chance of winning the next election, in 1990.
[6] The Republicans, led by Newt Gingrich, entered into the presidential election of 1990 as the preemptive front runners. However, Gingrich's campaign began to sputter in the three way race due to his acidic rhetoric. This gave the Progressives, in the political wilderness for 16 years, a chance. When the dust had cleared, the election was thrown into the House of Representatives, and Dukakis eventually emerged the victory, with Gingrich in second, and Carter a weak third.
[7] An accidental nuclear war between China and the Soviet Union virtually left the United States the only serious superpower. Despite the poor economy, Americans found it necessary to have a strong man in the White House to lead the country through all the turbulence, and Powell won a landslide victory over Governor Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, the Progressive nominee.
[8] The 22nd amendment is repealed pretty much only so that Powell could be reelected. As leader of the last true superpower, he leads an aggressively imperialistic foreign policy which brings Whealth and prosperity to the USA. China bows down to US pressure and becomes a multi-party democracy, with the first elections being won by the strongly pro-western Democratic Party. Meanwhile, Russia crumbles under social upheaval and after a successful American intervention is established as a pro-western federation. The rule of the American Empire is unchallenged, as not only is violent opposition crushed around the globe, but neoliberal parties (backed by the USA) start winning increasingly landslidical victories throughout the world. It seems, as some say, that history has effectively ended.
[9] After decades of deregulation and neoliberal policies, stock markets around the world crash in mid 2005, with the housing bubble in America popping. With unemployment at 16%, Progressive Paul Wellstone defeats Republican incumbet Colin Powell in a landslide.
[10] Despite significant economic recovery, Bloomberg surprisingly defeats Wellstone for reelection after the Tip O'Neil International Airport was bombed by Communist terrorists from the Republic of Kalmykia, neighboring Russia. At the same time, East Asian countries have formed the East Asian Union to promote regional cooperation and its own "neoliberal values with Asian characteristics"...
[11] With a strong economy the Republican ticket is, as predicted easily re-elected. However, the emergence of more hardline social democratic Progressives are beginning to emerge on the national scene, among them the very vocal Californian Senator Stewart Alexander, who accuses the administration of being "Soft on Neoliberalism."

Meanwhile, Vice President Stassen famously holds up the Chicago Tribune, printed with the erroneous headline of "Smathers Defeats Stassen". Joseph McCarthy, Smather's runningmate would however argue that Communists have stolen the election of 1956.

Quick caveat; Humphrey and Stassen are both from Minnesota, and so that ticket really wouldn't work. Stassen/Warren might be a better choice

[1] The Black Monday of November 21, 1927, the stock market crashes. Robert M. La Follette desperately institutes several public works schemes, and initiates what he calls "the Second Square Deal" but to no avail. Attacking "Roosevelt-style progressivism," Al Smith wins the 1928 election in a landslide, riding on a ticket of classical liberalism. During his first 100 days in office, he ends prohibition, drives down tariffs by 50% across the board and cuts the budget and taxation significantly
[2] Josiah Bailey assassinated.
[3] With the economy beginning to show signs of recovery, Al Smith is becoming a tremendously popular president and is re-elected in a landslide of 511 electoral votes. The Republican ticket of Charles G. Dawes and Fiorello La Guardia only carries Wisconsin, Maine and Vermont.
[4] Al Smith refuses to run for reelection after suffering from a mild stroke in early 1940. Despite his Catholicism, Kennedy emerges as a black horse candidate and goes on to beat Wallace thanks to the reluctant support of party bosses to him over Wallace. Kennedy, getting the last-minute endorsement of Taft, narrowly defeats Republican nominee Wendell Willkie in the general election, accusing the later of being a pro-British internationalist that would get the United States into European troubles. Meanwhile, the Berlin-Rome-Nanking Axis has just been formed in 1940...
[5] As war breaks out in Europe, President Joseph Kennedy is seen as largely defeatist. In the Republican primaries and convention, former-governor and current Senator Philip F. LaFollette (both La Follette brothers represent Wisconsin in the United States Senate) wins the nomination. Although a strong isolationist, and a reluctant supporter of the policies of former-President Alfred Smith, La Follette is elected over Joseph P. Kennedy, in a close election. La Follette finds himself drawn into the European War, on the side of the Allies, despite his own reluctance, and becomes the President which wins the Second Great War for America
[6] La Follette's support towards the Federation of Nations is perceived to be a betrayal of his isolationist course, leading to his assassination hours after the United States' entry into the FN
[7] In the period of national mourning, following the assassination of Phil La Follette, the Dewey/Stassen ticket easily defeats the Democratic ticket.
[8] Dewey overseas major civil rights battles, and desegregates schools during his term. This causes Republican conservatives to jump ship to the Democrats, and Democrat Liberals and progressives to jump over to the Republicans, including John F. Kennedy, and others.
[9] One of the biggest election upsets in US history. It is widely speculated that young Senator George Smathers would beat Stassen by comfortable margins, with or without opinion polls. Republicans also regain control of both chambers of Congress, thanks to Stassen's criticisms towards the "do-nothing Congress". Meanwhile, Vice President Stassen famously holds up the Chicago Tribune, printed with the erroneous headline of "Smathers Defeats Stassen". Joseph McCarthy, Smather's runningmate would however argue that Communists have stolen the election of 1956.
[10] The Wallace administration was the biggest setback to the Civil Rights movement, and proved to be quite unpopular over the term, nuking Indochina at the French's behest.
[11] Goldwater and Miller succeed the unpopular Wallace
[12] Liberals and progressives, angered by President Goldwater's even more hawkish foreign policies and the nuking of Communist Manchuria during the Sino-Manchurian War (1965-67), form their own Progressive Party and nominates Senator Hubert Humphrey for President, who picks George McGovern as his running mate.

Since both Goldwater and Wayne are considered conservatives, most states are won by less than 5% of the popular vote.
[13] After the nuclear attack on Manchuria, and the horrid foreign policy of President Wayne, which brings the United States to the brink of Nuclean War with the Soviet Union, the Republican's moderate and left wing unite around the candidacy of MA Senator H. Stuart Hughes. Hughes chooses Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, a noted Environmentalist and peace candidate, as his Vice-President. In the coming election, they win a decisive victory over the Wayne/Broyhill ticket.

[1] The Black Monday of November 21, 1927, the stock market crashes. Robert M. La Follette desperately institutes several public works schemes, and initiates what he calls "the Second Square Deal" but to no avail. Attacking "Roosevelt-style progressivism," Al Smith wins the 1928 election in a landslide, riding on a ticket of classical liberalism. During his first 100 days in office, he ends prohibition, drives down tariffs by 50% across the board and cuts the budget and taxation significantly
[2] Josiah Bailey assassinated.
[3] With the economy beginning to show signs of recovery, Al Smith is becoming a tremendously popular president and is re-elected in a landslide of 511 electoral votes. The Republican ticket of Charles G. Dawes and Fiorello La Guardia only carries Wisconsin, Maine and Vermont.
[4] Al Smith refuses to run for reelection after suffering from a mild stroke in early 1940. Despite his Catholicism, Kennedy emerges as a black horse candidate and goes on to beat Wallace thanks to the reluctant support of party bosses to him over Wallace. Kennedy, getting the last-minute endorsement of Taft, narrowly defeats Republican nominee Wendell Willkie in the general election, accusing the later of being a pro-British internationalist that would get the United States into European troubles. Meanwhile, the Berlin-Rome-Nanking Axis has just been formed in 1940...
[5] As war breaks out in Europe, President Joseph Kennedy is seen as largely defeatist. In the Republican primaries and convention, former-governor and current Senator Philip F. LaFollette (both La Follette brothers represent Wisconsin in the United States Senate) wins the nomination. Although a strong isolationist, and a reluctant supporter of the policies of former-President Alfred Smith, La Follette is elected over Joseph P. Kennedy, in a close election. La Follette finds himself drawn into the European War, on the side of the Allies, despite his own reluctance, and becomes the President which wins the Second Great War for America
[6] La Follette's support towards the Federation of Nations is perceived to be a betrayal of his isolationist course, leading to his assassination hours after the United States' entry into the FN
[7] In the period of national mourning, following the assassination of Phil La Follette, the Dewey/Stassen ticket easily defeats the Democratic ticket.
[8] Dewey overseas major civil rights battles, and desegregates schools during his term. This causes Republican conservatives to jump ship to the Democrats, and Democrat Liberals and progressives to jump over to the Republicans, including John F. Kennedy, and others.
[9] One of the biggest election upsets in US history. It is widely speculated that young Senator George Smathers would beat Stassen by comfortable margins, with or without opinion polls. Republicans also regain control of both chambers of Congress, thanks to Stassen's criticisms towards the "do-nothing Congress". Meanwhile, Vice President Stassen famously holds up the Chicago Tribune, printed with the erroneous headline of "Smathers Defeats Stassen". Joseph McCarthy, Smather's runningmate would however argue that Communists have stolen the election of 1956.
[10] The Wallace administration was the biggest setback to the Civil Rights movement, and proved to be quite unpopular over the term, nuking Indochina at the French's behest.
[11] Goldwater and Miller succeed the unpopular Wallace
[12] Liberals and progressives, angered by President Goldwater's even more hawkish foreign policies and the nuking of Communist Manchuria during the Sino-Manchurian War (1965-67), form their own Progressive Party and nominates Senator Hubert Humphrey for President, who picks George McGovern as his running mate. Goldwater refuses to nominate moderates like George Romney as his running mate after Miller is dropped from the ticket, picking Senator William Proxmire instead. John Wayne, the keynote speaker of the 1960 DNC and Governor of California since 1963, becomes the Democratic nominee who picks Senator Joel Broyhill as his running mate. Since both Goldwater and Wayne are considered conservatives, most states are won by less than 5% of the popular vote.
[13] After the nuclear attack on Manchuria, and the horrid foreign policy of President Wayne, which brings the United States to the brink of Nuclean War with the Soviet Union, the Republican's moderate and left wing unite around the candidacy of MA Senator H. Stuart Hughes. Hughes chooses Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, a noted Environmentalist and peace candidate, as his Vice-President. In the coming election, they win a decisive victory over the Wayne / Broyhill ticket.
[14] President Hughes makes a historic visit to Moscow, signing SALT I with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. The success of detente makes him widely popular, and he thus manages to win a landslide victory over General Alexander Haig, a Manchurian war "hero" and Governor Billy Graham of North Carolina.

Kennedy of Massachusetts, who succeeded JFK after the latter's death, widely considered a moderate, decides to mount a primary challenge against President Buckley. Buckley withdraws from the race in March 1984 and later endorses Senator Billy Graham (D-NC). Kennedy, picking William J. Blythe III - the first Republican Governor of Arkansas since Reconstruction as his running mate, ultimately wins the weird election. Socialists merge with the almost-defunt Progressives of George McGovern to form the Social Progressive Party and nomintae Senator Dennis Kucinich of Ohio for President; but despite early leads, Kucinich wins no single state due to constant gaffe. The Libertarian ticket of Ron Paul and Mike Gravel surprisingly captures Alaska.

Despite his Catholicism, Kennedy emerges as a black horse candidate and goes on to beat Wallace thanks to the reluctant support of party bosses to him over Wallace. Kennedy, getting the last-minute endorsement of Taft, narrowly defeats Republican nominee Wendell Willkie in the general election, accusing the later of being a pro-British internationalist that would get the United States into European troubles. Meanwhile, the Berlin-Rome-Nanking Axis has just been formed in 1940...
[5] As war breaks out in Europe, President Joseph Kennedy is seen as largely defeatist. In the Republican primaries and convention, former-governor and current Senator Philip F. LaFollette (both La Follette brothers represent Wisconsin in the United States Senate) wins the nomination. Although a strong isolationist, and a reluctant supporter of the policies of former-President Alfred Smith, La Follette is elected over Joseph P. Kennedy, in a close election. La Follette finds himself drawn into the European War, on the side of the Allies, despite his own reluctance, and becomes the President which wins the Second Great War for America
[6] La Follette's support towards the Federation of Nations is perceived to be a betrayal of his isolationist course, leading to his assassination hours after the United States' entry into the FN
[7] In the period of national mourning, following the assassination of Phil La Follette, the Dewey/Stassen ticket easily defeats the Democratic ticket.
[8] Dewey overseas major civil rights battles, and desegregates schools during his term. This causes Republican conservatives to jump ship to the Democrats, and Democrat Liberals and progressives to jump over to the Republicans, including John F. Kennedy, and others.
[9] One of the biggest election upsets in US history. It is widely speculated that young Senator George Smathers would beat Stassen by comfortable margins, with or without opinion polls. Republicans also regain control of both chambers of Congress, thanks to Stassen's criticisms towards the "do-nothing Congress". Meanwhile, Vice President Stassen famously holds up the Chicago Tribune, printed with the erroneous headline of "Smathers Defeats Stassen". Joseph McCarthy, Smather's runningmate would however argue that Communists have stolen the election of 1956.
[10] The Wallace administration was the biggest setback to the Civil Rights movement, and proved to be quite unpopular over the term, nuking Indochina at the French's behest.
[11] Goldwater and Miller succeed the unpopular Wallace
[12] Liberals and progressives, angered by President Goldwater's even more hawkish foreign policies and the nuking of Communist Manchuria during the Sino-Manchurian War (1965-67), form their own Progressive Party and nominates Senator Hubert Humphrey for President, who picks George McGovern as his running mate. Goldwater refuses to nominate moderates like George Romney as his running mate after Miller is dropped from the ticket, picking Senator William Proxmire instead. John Wayne, the keynote speaker of the 1960 DNC and Governor of California since 1963, becomes the Democratic nominee who picks Senator Joel Broyhill as his running mate. Since both Goldwater and Wayne are considered conservatives, most states are won by less than 5% of the popular vote.
[13] After the nuclear attack on Manchuria, and the horrid foreign policy of President Wayne, which brings the United States to the brink of Nuclean War with the Soviet Union, the Republican's moderate and left wing unite around the candidacy of MA Senator H. Stuart Hughes. Hughes chooses Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, a noted Environmentalist and peace candidate, as his Vice-President. In the coming election, they win a decisive victory over the Wayne / Broyhill ticket.
[14] President Hughes makes a historic visit to Moscow, signing SALT I with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. The success of detente makes him widely popular, and he thus manages to win a landslide victory over General Alexander Haig, a Manchurian war "hero" and Governor Billy Graham of North Carolina.
[15] In the most surprising political comeback in a century, former President Harold Stassen and his running mate James L. Buckley beat out John Connally and Pat Robertson after Hughes and Nelson retire.
[16] Tragically Stassen is assassinated. Buckley takes over, but the growth of the Socialist Party is fast and they look disturbingly plausible for the Presidency. The Progressive Party is small and dying after their surge
[17] President Buckley is too conservative, and has increasingly alienated his own party. Senator Robert F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who succeeded JFK after the latter's death, widely considered a moderate, decides to mount a primary challenge against President Buckley. Buckley withdraws from the race in March 1984 and later endorses Senator Billy Graham (D-NC). Kennedy, picking William J. Blythe III - the first Republican Governor of Arkansas since Reconstruction as his running mate, ultimately wins the weird election. Socialists merge with the almost-defunt Progressives of George McGovern to form the Social Progressive Party and nomintae Senator Dennis Kucinich of Ohio for President; but despite early leads, Kucinich wins no single state due to constant gaffe. The Libertarian ticket of Ron Paul and Mike Gravel surprisingly captures Alaska.
[18] With the economy booming, Robert F. Kennedy easily wins re-election over Democratic George Wallace Jr/George Sinner ticket. Under the adminsitration of RFK, the remains of the Republican right wing, best represented by former-president Buckley, is utterly broken. The RFK adminsitration sees the passing of the North American Free Trade Act, and the breakup of the Soviet Union (Kennedy's even handed policies towards the Soviet Union, and later successor states, is largest credited for making the transition from Communism to Capitalism peaceful).

Baltimore Plot Succeeds
1861: Hannibal Hamlin (Republican) [1]
1866: Hannibal Hamlin/ Joseph H. Holt (Republican) [2]
[1] The Baltimore Plot succeeds in assassinating President Elect Abraham Lincoln and as a result Hannibal Hamlin is inaugurated president, right in the middle of the ongoing secession crisis.
[2] As the war progresses, the Hamlin administration comes under increasing fire for the handling of the conflict. In an attempt to foster a sense of national unity, the Army's Advocate General, Joseph Holt of Kentucky is chosen as the Republican's vice-presidential candidate. The Republicans narrowly win re-election, and Hamlin had only served six months of his second term before the war finally comes to an end.

[10] The Wallace administration was the biggest setback to the Civil Rights movement, and proved to be quite unpopular over the term, nuking Indochina at the French's behest.
[11] Goldwater and Miller succeed the unpopular Wallace
[12] Liberals and progressives, angered by President Goldwater's even more hawkish foreign policies and the nuking of Communist Manchuria during the Sino-Manchurian War (1965-67), form their own Progressive Party and nominates Senator Hubert Humphrey for President, who picks George McGovern as his running mate. Goldwater refuses to nominate moderates like George Romney as his running mate after Miller is dropped from the ticket, picking Senator William Proxmire instead. John Wayne, the keynote speaker of the 1960 DNC and Governor of California since 1963, becomes the Democratic nominee who picks Senator Joel Broyhill as his running mate. Since both Goldwater and Wayne are considered conservatives, most states are won by less than 5% of the popular vote.
[13] After the nuclear attack on Manchuria, and the horrid foreign policy of President Wayne, which brings the United States to the brink of Nuclean War with the Soviet Union, the Republican's moderate and left wing unite around the candidacy of MA Senator H. Stuart Hughes. Hughes chooses Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, a noted Environmentalist and peace candidate, as his Vice-President. In the coming election, they win a decisive victory over the Wayne / Broyhill ticket.
[14] President Hughes makes a historic visit to Moscow, signing SALT I with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. The success of detente makes him widely popular, and he thus manages to win a landslide victory over General Alexander Haig, a Manchurian war "hero" and Governor Billy Graham of North Carolina.
[15] In the most surprising political comeback in a century, former President Harold Stassen and his running mate James L. Buckley beat out John Connally and Pat Robertson after Hughes and Nelson retire.
[16] Tragically Stassen is assassinated. Buckley takes over, but the growth of the Socialist Party is fast and they look disturbingly plausible for the Presidency. The Progressive Party is small and dying after their surge
[17] President Buckley is too conservative, and has increasingly alienated his own party. Senator Robert F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who succeeded JFK after the latter's death, widely considered a moderate, decides to mount a primary challenge against President Buckley. Buckley withdraws from the race in March 1984 and later endorses Senator Billy Graham (D-NC). Kennedy, picking William J. Blythe III - the first Republican Governor of Arkansas since Reconstruction as his running mate, ultimately wins the weird election. Socialists merge with the almost-defunt Progressives of George McGovern to form the Social Progressive Party and nomintae Senator Dennis Kucinich of Ohio for President; but despite early leads, Kucinich wins no single state due to constant gaffe. The Libertarian ticket of Ron Paul and Mike Gravel surprisingly captures Alaska.
[18] With the economy booming, Robert F. Kennedy easily wins re-election over Democratic George Wallace Jr/George Sinner ticket. Under the adminsitration of RFK, the remains of the Republican right wing, best represented by former-president Buckley, is utterly broken. The RFK adminsitration sees the passing of the North American Free Trade Act, and the breakup of the Soviet Union (Kennedy's even handed policies towards the Soviet Union, and later successor states, is largest credited for making the transition from Communism to Capitalism peaceful).
[19] After 20 years of Republican rule, American people vote for change. Freshman Senator Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey defeats Governor Tom Bradley of California by a landslide. Meanwhile, the Libertarian ticket of Neal Boortz performs above expectation, obtaining 22 electoral votes. Social Progressive nominee Michael Moore wins his home state and a faithless elector from the District of Columbia in addition.
[20] Disappointment is high both with the Democrat administration, but also with the weak Republican nominees. A strong ticket from the (formerly Social Progressive) Progressive Party splits the Republican vote in many state, but is offset by the return of Ron Paul for the Libertarians who take many Democrat votes. No party gains a majority in the Electoral College, and after months of negotiations, the Social Progressives agree to let their electors vote for the Republicans in exchange for a proportional representation in the government - the first coalition government in the history of the United States, winning the Electoral College vote with 270 votes to the opposition's 269.
[21] Gephardt manages to get the Healthcare Bill passed in 1997. Nevertheless, Democrats confront vigorously with the "illegitimate government" after gaining control of both Houses in 1998, turning down almost everything including cabinet and Supreme Court nominations. President Gephardt has to rule by decree. After the 1999 government shutdown, Republican Congressman Dan Quayle, an outspoken liberal since the Manchurian War, shoots 12 Democratic Congressmen to death, including Speaker Gingrich and House Majority Leader Rick Perry. The Capitol Hill Shooting Incident shifts public anger from House Democrats to the Gephardt administration. Due to political turmoil, the Gephardt administration is unable to deal with the Dot Com Bubble Burst effectively. Microsoft, Apple and IBGM go bankrupt, leading to the total decline of the digital industry in North America. However, Chinese firms would since then dominate the personal computer market. Gephardt forms a fusion ticket with Ralph Nader, who is heard calling former Vice President Blythe a "coward". William J. Blythe III then withdraws his support to the Gephardt-Nader ticket. Gephardt is defeated by General Colin Powell, who campaigns on the slogan of "Back to Normal" in one of the biggest landslides since 1820. More surprisingly, Bill Richardson, a Republican-turned Libertarian, drives Gephardt into third place, who barely carries the District of Columbia by 46.6% of the popular vote over Powell's 39.7% and Richardson's 12.8%.

2000: Colin Powell / Phil Gramm (Democrat)[21]
2004: Colin Powell / Phil Gramm [22] (R)
[1] The Black Monday of November 21, 1927, the stock market crashes. Robert M. La Follette desperately institutes several public works schemes, and initiates what he calls "the Second Square Deal" but to no avail. Attacking "Roosevelt-style progressivism," Al Smith wins the 1928 election in a landslide, riding on a ticket of classical liberalism. During his first 100 days in office, he ends prohibition, drives down tariffs by 50% across the board and cuts the budget and taxation significantly
[2] Josiah Bailey assassinated.
[3] With the economy beginning to show signs of recovery, Al Smith is becoming a tremendously popular president and is re-elected in a landslide of 511 electoral votes. The Republican ticket of Charles G. Dawes and Fiorello La Guardia only carries Wisconsin, Maine and Vermont.
[4] Al Smith refuses to run for reelection after suffering from a mild stroke in early 1940. Despite his Catholicism, Kennedy emerges as a black horse candidate and goes on to beat Wallace thanks to the reluctant support of party bosses to him over Wallace. Kennedy, getting the last-minute endorsement of Taft, narrowly defeats Republican nominee Wendell Willkie in the general election, accusing the later of being a pro-British internationalist that would get the United States into European troubles. Meanwhile, the Berlin-Rome-Nanking Axis has just been formed in 1940...
[5] As war breaks out in Europe, President Joseph Kennedy is seen as largely defeatist. In the Republican primaries and convention, former-governor and current Senator Philip F. LaFollette (both La Follette brothers represent Wisconsin in the United States Senate) wins the nomination. Although a strong isolationist, and a reluctant supporter of the policies of former-President Alfred Smith, La Follette is elected over Joseph P. Kennedy, in a close election. La Follette finds himself drawn into the European War, on the side of the Allies, despite his own reluctance, and becomes the President which wins the Second Great War for America
[6] La Follette's support towards the Federation of Nations is perceived to be a betrayal of his isolationist course, leading to his assassination hours after the United States' entry into the FN
[7] In the period of national mourning, following the assassination of Phil La Follette, the Dewey/Stassen ticket easily defeats the Democratic ticket.
[8] Dewey overseas major civil rights battles, and desegregates schools during his term. This causes Republican conservatives to jump ship to the Democrats, and Democrat Liberals and progressives to jump over to the Republicans, including John F. Kennedy, and others.
[9] One of the biggest election upsets in US history. It is widely speculated that young Senator George Smathers would beat Stassen by comfortable margins, with or without opinion polls. Republicans also regain control of both chambers of Congress, thanks to Stassen's criticisms towards the "do-nothing Congress". Meanwhile, Vice President Stassen famously holds up the Chicago Tribune, printed with the erroneous headline of "Smathers Defeats Stassen". Joseph McCarthy, Smather's runningmate would however argue that Communists have stolen the election of 1956.
[10] The Wallace administration was the biggest setback to the Civil Rights movement, and proved to be quite unpopular over the term, nuking Indochina at the French's behest.

[15] In the most surprising political comeback in a century, former President Harold Stassen and his running mate James L. Buckley beat out John Connally and Pat Robertson after Hughes and Nelson retire.
[16] Tragically Stassen is assassinated. Buckley takes over, but the growth of the Socialist Party is fast and they look disturbingly plausible for the Presidency. The Progressive Party is small and dying after their surge

[1] The Black Monday of November 21, 1927, the stock market crashes. Robert M. La Follette desperately institutes several public works schemes, and initiates what he calls "the Second Square Deal" but to no avail. Attacking "Roosevelt-style progressivism," Al Smith wins the 1928 election in a landslide, riding on a ticket of classical liberalism. During his first 100 days in office, he ends prohibition, drives down tariffs by 50% across the board and cuts the budget and taxation significantly
[2] Josiah Bailey assassinated.
[3] With the economy beginning to show signs of recovery, Al Smith is becoming a tremendously popular president and is re-elected in a landslide of 511 electoral votes. The Republican ticket of Charles G. Dawes and Fiorello La Guardia only carries Wisconsin, Maine and Vermont.
[4] Al Smith refuses to run for reelection after suffering from a mild stroke in early 1940. Despite his Catholicism, Kennedy emerges as a black horse candidate and goes on to beat Wallace thanks to the reluctant support of party bosses to him over Wallace. Kennedy, getting the last-minute endorsement of Taft, narrowly defeats Republican nominee Wendell Willkie in the general election, accusing the later of being a pro-British internationalist that would get the United States into European troubles. Meanwhile, the Berlin-Rome-Nanking Axis has just been formed in 1940...
[5] As war breaks out in Europe, President Joseph Kennedy is seen as largely defeatist. In the Republican primaries and convention, former-governor and current Senator Philip F. LaFollette (both La Follette brothers represent Wisconsin in the United States Senate) wins the nomination. Although a strong isolationist, and a reluctant supporter of the policies of former-President Alfred Smith, La Follette is elected over Joseph P. Kennedy, in a close election. La Follette finds himself drawn into the European War, on the side of the Allies, despite his own reluctance, and becomes the President which wins the Second Great War for America
[6] La Follette's support towards the Federation of Nations is perceived to be a betrayal of his isolationist course, leading to his assassination hours after the United States' entry into the FN
[7] In the period of national mourning, following the assassination of Phil La Follette, the Dewey/Stassen ticket easily defeats the Democratic ticket.
[8] Dewey overseas major civil rights battles, and desegregates schools during his term. This causes Republican conservatives to jump ship to the Democrats, and Democrat Liberals and progressives to jump over to the Republicans, including John F. Kennedy, and others.
[9] One of the biggest election upsets in US history. It is widely speculated that young Senator George Smathers would beat Stassen by comfortable margins, with or without opinion polls. Republicans also regain control of both chambers of Congress, thanks to Stassen's criticisms towards the "do-nothing Congress". Meanwhile, Vice President Stassen famously holds up the Chicago Tribune, printed with the erroneous headline of "Smathers Defeats Stassen". Joseph McCarthy, Smather's runningmate would however argue that Communists have stolen the election of 1956.
[10] The Wallace administration was the biggest setback to the Civil Rights movement, and proved to be quite unpopular over the term, nuking Indochina at the French's behest.
[11] Goldwater and Miller succeed the unpopular Wallace
[12] Liberals and progressives, angered by President Goldwater's even more hawkish foreign policies and the nuking of Communist Manchuria during the Sino-Manchurian War (1965-67), form their own Progressive Party and nominates Senator Hubert Humphrey for President, who picks George McGovern as his running mate. Goldwater refuses to nominate moderates like George Romney as his running mate after Miller is dropped from the ticket, picking Senator William Proxmire instead. John Wayne, the keynote speaker of the 1960 DNC and Governor of California since 1963, becomes the Democratic nominee who picks Senator Joel Broyhill as his running mate. Since both Goldwater and Wayne are considered conservatives, most states are won by less than 5% of the popular vote.
[13] After the nuclear attack on Manchuria, and the horrid foreign policy of President Wayne, which brings the United States to the brink of Nuclean War with the Soviet Union, the Republican's moderate and left wing unite around the candidacy of MA Senator H. Stuart Hughes. Hughes chooses Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, a noted Environmentalist and peace candidate, as his Vice-President. In the coming election, they win a decisive victory over the Wayne / Broyhill ticket.
[14] President Hughes makes a historic visit to Moscow, signing SALT I with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. The success of detente makes him widely popular, and he thus manages to win a landslide victory over General Alexander Haig, a Manchurian war "hero" and Governor Billy Graham of North Carolina.
[15] In the most surprising political comeback in a century, former President Harold Stassen and his running mate James L. Buckley beat out John Connally and Pat Robertson after Hughes and Nelson retire.
[16] Tragically Stassen is assassinated. Buckley takes over, but the growth of the Socialist Party is fast and they look disturbingly plausible for the Presidency. The Progressive Party is small and dying after their surge
[17] President Buckley is too conservative, and has increasingly alienated his own party. Senator Robert F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who succeeded JFK after the latter's death, widely considered a moderate, decides to mount a primary challenge against President Buckley. Buckley withdraws from the race in March 1984 and later endorses Senator Billy Graham (D-NC). Kennedy, picking William J. Blythe III - the first Republican Governor of Arkansas since Reconstruction as his running mate, ultimately wins the weird election. Socialists merge with the almost-defunt Progressives of George McGovern to form the Social Progressive Party and nomintae Senator Dennis Kucinich of Ohio for President; but despite early leads, Kucinich wins no single state due to constant gaffe. The Libertarian ticket of Ron Paul and Mike Gravel surprisingly captures Alaska.
[18] With the economy booming, Robert F. Kennedy easily wins re-election over Democratic George Wallace Jr/George Sinner ticket. Under the adminsitration of RFK, the remains of the Republican right wing, best represented by former-president Buckley, is utterly broken. The RFK adminsitration sees the passing of the North American Free Trade Act, and the breakup of the Soviet Union (Kennedy's even handed policies towards the Soviet Union, and later successor states, is largest credited for making the transition from Communism to Capitalism peaceful).
[19] After 20 years of Republican rule, American people vote for change. Freshman Senator Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey defeats Governor Tom Bradley of California by a landslide. Meanwhile, the Libertarian ticket of Neal Boortz performs above expectation, obtaining 22 electoral votes. Social Progressive nominee Michael Moore wins his home state and a faithless elector from the District of Columbia in addition.
[20] Disappointment is high both with the Democrat administration, but also with the weak Republican nominees. A strong ticket from the (formerly Social Progressive) Progressive Party splits the Republican vote in many state, but is offset by the return of Ron Paul for the Libertarians who take many Democrat votes. No party gains a majority in the Electoral College, and after months of negotiations, the Social Progressives agree to let their electors vote for the Republicans in exchange for a proportional representation in the government - the first coalition government in the history of the United States, winning the Electoral College vote with 270 votes to the opposition's 269.
[21] Gephardt manages to get the Healthcare Bill passed in 1997. Nevertheless, Democrats confront vigorously with the "illegitimate government" after gaining control of both Houses in 1998, turning down almost everything including cabinet and Supreme Court nominations. President Gephardt has to rule by decree. After the 1999 government shutdown, Republican Congressman Dan Quayle, an outspoken liberal since the Manchurian War, shoots 12 Democratic Congressmen to death, including Speaker Gingrich and House Majority Leader Rick Perry. The Capitol Hill Shooting Incident shifts public anger from House Democrats to the Gephardt administration. Due to political turmoil, the Gephardt administration is unable to deal with the Dot Com Bubble Burst effectively. Microsoft, Apple and IBGM go bankrupt, leading to the total decline of the digital industry in North America. However, Chinese firms would since then dominate the personal computer market. Gephardt forms a fusion ticket with Ralph Nader, who is heard calling former Vice President Blythe a "coward". William J. Blythe III then withdraws his support to the Gephardt-Nader ticket. Gephardt is defeated by General Colin Powell, who campaigns on the slogan of "Back to Normal" in one of the biggest landslides since 1820. More surprisingly, Bill Richardson, a Republican-turned Libertarian, drives Gephardt into third place, who barely carries the District of Columbia by 46.6% of the popular vote over Powell's 39.7% and Richardson's 12.8%.
[22] Libertarians take control of Congress
[23] Magicians turned politicians Penn and Teller are elected in one of the closest elections in american history, edging out Phil Gramm, Howard Dean, and Cindy Sheehan.
[24] After the bursting of the housing bubble in 2009, the staunch libertarian Penn refuses to bailout any financial institutions. Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Lehman Brothers all fail causing severe panic on Wall Street. By the time AIG declares bankruptcy in late 2010, the United States and the world is in the Second Great Depression. With unemployment at over 25%, Americans losing their retirement plans, and stocks still falling, a Republican-Progressive fusion ticket of Russ Feingold and Matt Gonzalez win in a landslide. Promising stronger regulations against what remains of Wall Street, a stronger social safety net, and a massive jobs program to get America back to work, Feingold champions his programs as the "Just Deal".

[10] The Wallace administration was the biggest setback to the Civil Rights movement, and proved to be quite unpopular over the term, nuking Indochina at the French's behest.
[11] Goldwater and Miller succeed the unpopular Wallace
[12] Liberals and progressives, angered by President Goldwater's even more hawkish foreign policies and the nuking of Communist Manchuria during the Sino-Manchurian War (1965-67), form their own Progressive Party and nominates Senator Hubert Humphrey for President, who picks George McGovern as his running mate. Goldwater refuses to nominate moderates like George Romney as his running mate after Miller is dropped from the ticket, picking Senator William Proxmire instead. John Wayne, the keynote speaker of the 1960 DNC and Governor of California since 1963, becomes the Democratic nominee who picks Senator Joel Broyhill as his running mate. Since both Goldwater and Wayne are considered conservatives, most states are won by less than 5% of the popular vote.
[13] After the nuclear attack on Manchuria, and the horrid foreign policy of President Wayne, which brings the United States to the brink of Nuclean War with the Soviet Union, the Republican's moderate and left wing unite around the candidacy of MA Senator H. Stuart Hughes. Hughes chooses Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, a noted Environmentalist and peace candidate, as his Vice-President. In the coming election, they win a decisive victory over the Wayne / Broyhill ticket.
[14] President Hughes makes a historic visit to Moscow, signing SALT I with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. The success of detente makes him widely popular, and he thus manages to win a landslide victory over General Alexander Haig, a Manchurian war "hero" and Governor Billy Graham of North Carolina.
[15] In the most surprising political comeback in a century, former President Harold Stassen and his running mate James L. Buckley beat out John Connally and Pat Robertson after Hughes and Nelson retire.
[16] Tragically Stassen is assassinated. Buckley takes over, but the growth of the Socialist Party is fast and they look disturbingly plausible for the Presidency. The Progressive Party is small and dying after their surge
[17] President Buckley is too conservative, and has increasingly alienated his own party. Senator Robert F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who succeeded JFK after the latter's death, widely considered a moderate, decides to mount a primary challenge against President Buckley. Buckley withdraws from the race in March 1984 and later endorses Senator Billy Graham (D-NC). Kennedy, picking William J. Blythe III - the first Republican Governor of Arkansas since Reconstruction as his running mate, ultimately wins the weird election. Socialists merge with the almost-defunt Progressives of George McGovern to form the Social Progressive Party and nomintae Senator Dennis Kucinich of Ohio for President; but despite early leads, Kucinich wins no single state due to constant gaffe. The Libertarian ticket of Ron Paul and Mike Gravel surprisingly captures Alaska.
[18] With the economy booming, Robert F. Kennedy easily wins re-election over Democratic George Wallace Jr/George Sinner ticket. Under the adminsitration of RFK, the remains of the Republican right wing, best represented by former-president Buckley, is utterly broken. The RFK adminsitration sees the passing of the North American Free Trade Act, and the breakup of the Soviet Union (Kennedy's even handed policies towards the Soviet Union, and later successor states, is largest credited for making the transition from Communism to Capitalism peaceful).
[19] After 20 years of Republican rule, American people vote for change. Freshman Senator Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey defeats Governor Tom Bradley of California by a landslide. Meanwhile, the Libertarian ticket of Neal Boortz performs above expectation, obtaining 22 electoral votes. Social Progressive nominee Michael Moore wins his home state and a faithless elector from the District of Columbia in addition.
[20] Disappointment is high both with the Democrat administration, but also with the weak Republican nominees. A strong ticket from the (formerly Social Progressive) Progressive Party splits the Republican vote in many state, but is offset by the return of Ron Paul for the Libertarians who take many Democrat votes. No party gains a majority in the Electoral College, and after months of negotiations, the Social Progressives agree to let their electors vote for the Republicans in exchange for a proportional representation in the government - the first coalition government in the history of the United States, winning the Electoral College vote with 270 votes to the opposition's 269.
[21] Gephardt manages to get the Healthcare Bill passed in 1997. Nevertheless, Democrats confront vigorously with the "illegitimate government" after gaining control of both Houses in 1998, turning down almost everything including cabinet and Supreme Court nominations. President Gephardt has to rule by decree. After the 1999 government shutdown, Republican Congressman Dan Quayle, an outspoken liberal since the Manchurian War, shoots 12 Democratic Congressmen to death, including Speaker Gingrich and House Majority Leader Rick Perry. The Capitol Hill Shooting Incident shifts public anger from House Democrats to the Gephardt administration. Due to political turmoil, the Gephardt administration is unable to deal with the Dot Com Bubble Burst effectively. Microsoft, Apple and IBGM go bankrupt, leading to the total decline of the digital industry in North America. However, Chinese firms would since then dominate the personal computer market. Gephardt forms a fusion ticket with Ralph Nader, who is heard calling former Vice President Blythe a "coward". William J. Blythe III then withdraws his support to the Gephardt-Nader ticket. Gephardt is defeated by General Colin Powell, who campaigns on the slogan of "Back to Normal" in one of the biggest landslides since 1820. More surprisingly, Bill Richardson, a Republican-turned Libertarian, drives Gephardt into third place, who barely carries the District of Columbia by 46.6% of the popular vote over Powell's 39.7% and Richardson's 12.8%.
[22] Libertarians take control of Congress
[23] Magicians turned politicians Penn and Teller are elected in one of the closest elections in american history, edging out Phil Gramm, Howard Dean, and Cindy Sheehan.
[24] After the bursting of the housing bubble in 2009, the staunch libertarian Penn refuses to bailout any financial institutions. Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley, and Lehman Brothers all fail causing severe panic on Wall Street. By the time AIG declares bankruptcy in late 2010, the United States and the world is in the Second Great Depression. With unemployment at over 25%, Americans losing their retirement plans, and stocks still falling, a Republican-Progressive fusion ticket of Russ Feingold and Matt Gonzalez win in a landslide. Promising stronger regulations against what remains of Wall Street, a stronger social safety net, and a massive jobs program to get America back to work. Feingold calls his programs the "Just Deal".
[25] The president is reelected in a landslide, after the official merger of the Republicans and Progressives. Heavy regulations, and more investment into government institutions, while using a system similar to postwar Germany, unemployment sees a sharp drop to 14 % and counting.

Butterflies are a thing you know...One president's decision affects a lot in the future, and not everybody real will survive. That is in fact alternate history.
I know about butterflies, but would it not make more sense if we used real people. We dont have to use real politicians, but at least real people. Like Elvis Presley as President, for example. If we just make up people, its not alternate history, but rather just listing off names. Look at the earlier lists, and you will see what I mean. No fictional people in those, and those were great;).

[1] The Baltimore Plot succeeds in assassinating President Elect Abraham Lincoln and as a result Hannibal Hamlin is inaugurated president, right in the middle of the ongoing secession crisis.
[2] As the war progresses, the Hamlin administration comes under increasing fire for the handling of the conflict. In an attempt to foster a sense of national unity, the Army's Advocate General, Joseph Holt of Kentucky is chosen as the Republican's vice-presidential candidate. The Republicans narrowly win re-election, and Hamlin had only served six months of his second term before the war finally comes to an end.
[3] Voted on a platform of liberty for all, promised voting rights for all citizens.
[4] Conservatives and classical liberals form the Conservative Party.
[5] The New Reps with rebranding.
[6] The imperialist, socially conservative, economically socialist Destiny party easily beats out the unpopular Keibler, the Conservative party has collapsed.
[7] The Destiny Party is re-elected in a popular landslide following the the victory in the Spanish-Mexican-American War bringing Cuba, Baja California and the Philippines into US hands. As Pierce' poor working relationship with Foraker worsens, he is eventually dropped from the VP slot, which is rewarded to the 36-year old popular governor of Minnesota, Magnus J. Sjostrom. Sjostrom is an enthusiastic social democrat, who inspired by developments in Germany has introduced a system of social insurance and public pensions in Minnesota. Sjostrom has made several speeches calling for the United States to extends its influence in South America, calling it "the natural extension of the Monroe doctrine," and is furthermore a devout Swedenborgian who calls for prohibition and has publicly denounced Darwinism as an "abomination."
[8] Conservatives launch a revival in 1898, beating the popular Destiny Party in a very narrow election.
[9] Having become a Senator in 1902, and in Congress repeatedly attacked Cleveland's administration, Sjostrom an the Destiny ticket finally defeats the Conservatives in 1908. He begins his first term very ambitiously, introducing his Minnesotan system of social insurance on federal level and several child labor laws. Controversially, in 1911, with the backing of a Destiny-controlled congress, he begins a program to nationalize the railroads. Wishing to expand in South America, he believes that the United States should form an alliance with Brazil over acquisitions in that area. In January 1912, he becomes the first US President to leave US soil while in office and visits the court of Empress Isabel in Rio de Janeiro.
[10] Though his Presidency has been controversial, Sjostrom managed to win re-relection. However, both the Senate and the House lost their Destiny Majority.
[11] Sick with the Destiny controversy, the Popular Front ticket is elevated to the presidency, and the socially and economically liberal politicians find a voice again. The term is marked by large economic padding, with more investment into the private sector by the government.
[12] Charging that the governments intervention is hurting economic growth, Calvin Coolidge is swept into the White House. During his first term, he dismantles one of President Sjostorm's biggest achievements, the Federal Reserve. This will lead to what will later be called the "1920's Economic Miracle", in which economies around the world, good or bad, begin to boom.
[13] Although Coolidge's presidency is largely a success, a growing number of progressives in the East Coast start an aggressive campaigning highlighting the foreign policy failures of Coolidge, including an uppity Mexico to the south of the border growing more militant every day. In addition, the large numbers of disillusioned Conservatives, whom were against the free trade platform traditionally supported by Liberals, switched to the Popular Front, gaining traction in both the House and Senate.
[14] President Debs dies in office of a massive heart attack, leaving the White House in the hands of Vice President Loraway, known for his hatred for imperialistic Mexico, as shown during his four consecutive terms as Governor of Texas.
[15] Loraway is re-elected in a landslide following the appointment of charismatic VP Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the successful intervention in Mexico, with the "liberation" of Baja California and Sonora. Loraway also implements social security and supports the unions. The PF, however, loses its majority in the Senate.
