You'd vote for... Pat Robertson and the guy who literally said we should give nukes to the National Guard?
*backs away slowly*
I'd vote for all the Democrats. If the parties are more big-tent than they were historically, then surely there must be some socially liberal Democrats.
I agree with the latter, but as for the former, I think I would have to see each Democrat on their merits. I think I would be a cross-party voter ITTL.

If Freak Power evolved into a real national party, and not just Thompson's cult of personality, I'd vote for them. As a social libertarian and an economic moderate, I'd stick to the Republican Party.
It's the cool thing so..,
1964: Lyndon Johnson/Hubert Humphrey (D)
1968: Hubert Humphrey/John Connally (D)
1972: Hubert Humphrey/Henry Howell (D)
1976: Pete McCloskey/Lowell Weicker (IR)
1980: Roger McBride/Roy Cohn (R)
1984: Roy Cohn/Shirley T. Black (R)
(I really didn't want to vote Cohn, but given the anti Semitic attacks...)
1988: Shirley T. Black/Elliot Richardson (R)
Party affiliation as of 1992: Liberal Republican (FL) who crosses over for socially liberal Democrats like Lawton Chiles.
1964: Lyndon Johnson/Hubert Humphrey (D)

Well, it was either Cohn or the two worst politicians ever named Jesse.
Plus, it's not every day you get to vote for a fellow Jew as president. Even if it is Roy fucking Cohn.
And damn, the Dems go hard SoCon in this TL so I'm kind of stuck with the libertarians in the GOP. I'd be a strong supporter of Temple in her run.
The end is good, regardless of the meansNot with such a horrific last name!
