There is a Test Thread section of the forum if you feel the need to post but admit it's for your own amusement.

Clarkson is nowhere near Trump politically. It just wouldn't work as an analogue, quite honestly.
The big problem with the Hurds is getting Nick to a position where he can be PM, in 2001, requires him getting elected ridiculously young.

I'm aware of the test thread section. I posted it here because I wanted to see if others could get any enjoymemt out of it. Obviously, they didn't.

Huh, wonder what kind of important war could start in 1929. Can't be Germany that early. Mussolini doing something stupid? USSR under Trotsky? Japan? Or actually, doesn't Asquith not having war government mean WWI is delayed? Oh, I'm interested to see more.
Also, PM Chesterton is a very cool idea.

Just finished the first bit of my "Punk-List", the steampunk era.
The Power of Steam (1820s-1918)
Imperialism, Tariffs and Home Rule, oh my!
Geoffrey Ripton, 6th Duke of Lancasmore (Whig majority) 1819-1831
1819: def. James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory)
1825: def. James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory)
1830: def. James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory) and Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
"We are entering a new era, that of steam!"
Lancasmore was always an optimist, believing in the power of the coming steam age to transform Azalaian society. His policies of encouraging industry to grow was a part of this. However, his politics were also very nepotistic, with his family benefiting from the growth of steam industries. In 1831, Lancasmore resigned due to bad health, handing over to his successor.
Tobiaz Darlington, 2nd Baron Darlington (Whig majority, then Whig-Narsenian Home Rule coalition) 1831-1834
1832: def. James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory) and Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
"Home Rule is essential to the survival of Azalaia."
Darlington called an election after he became Prime Minister, but this led to a hung Parliament and an agreement with Home Rule for Narsenian self-government. This led to a split in the Whig Party as many, including Frederick Ripton [Lancasmore's second son] defected to form the Liberal and Unionist League, sinking Darlington's government.
James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory majority, then Tory-Liberal and Unionist coalition, then Unionist majority) 1834-1857
1834: def. Tobiaz Darlington, 2nd Baron Darlington (Whig), Frederick Ripton (Liberal and Unionist), Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
1840: def. Charles Robinson, 9th Duke of Reyntime (Whig), Frederick Ripton (Liberal and Unionist), Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
1845: def. Charles Robinson, 9th Duke of Reyntime (Whig), Frederick Ripton (Liberal and Unionist), Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
1851: def. Silas Lyttleton, Baron Lyttleton (Liberal), Thomas O'Kinnedie (Narsenian Home Rule)
1856: def. Silas Lyttleton, Baron Lyttleton (Liberal), Thomas O'Kinnedie (Narsenian Home Rule)
"The priority for this government is strength abroad and stability at home."
Known as the "Grand Old Man", Mountespool would hold on power far longer than everybody thought. His time as PM was defined by the growth of Imperialism and the subjection of many swathes of the world to Azalaian hegemony. Declaring the Azalaian people "naturally suited to ruling over the world", he authorised the conquest of four small countries on the underdeveloped Garudan continent, something widely condemned by other Hennodian Great Powers at first, but then later copied by them as the division of Garuda began in earnest.
In 1845, the Tories lost a majority and entered coalition with the Liberal-Unionists, and managed to fracture the party in the process, merging the majority with his Tories to form the modern Unionist Party, while some returned to the Whig Party to form the Liberal Party. Winning two landslides after, he died in 1857 someone who put his brand on to the country.
Sir Zacharias Cochrane (Unionist majority) 1857-1861
"I categorically deny that I had any form of intercourse with the daughter of the Duke of Reyntime."
Cochrane's first term was one of wasted potential, sank by a scandal that he denied up to the point where it was undeniable. The image of Cochrane was always one of an upstart that was favoured by the Grand Old Man simply because he reminded Mountespool of a younger him. Thus the Unionists weren't exactly enamoured with Cochrane, but the revelation that he had trysts with Elizabeth Robinson, the sole daughter of the Duke of Reyntime was fatal to his first term. Denying it constantly, he ended up marrying the daughter to save her honour after the trysts were proved true beyond any doubt.
He lost the 1861 election to the surging Liberals under the Marquis of Shortenmoor.
Jacob Campbell, 2nd Marquis of Shortenmoor (Liberal majority) 1861-1863*
1861: def. Sir Zacharias Cochrane (Unionist), Thomas O'Kinnedie (Narsenian Home Rule), Paul Quincy Morris (People's Chartist)
"We Liberals defend the right of the Azalaian individual."
The Marquis of Shortenmoor was one of Azalaia's brief prime ministers. The only real legacy he had was starting the "Occidental War" with the Celestial Empire of Chinapa in 1862 that would engulf Azalaia's forces for seven years.
The Association for a People's Charter (also known as the "People's Chartists") was the first working-class organisation to enter Parliament with the election of Paul Quincy Morris in Mountespool Heights.
Henry Templeton, 2nd Viscount Iggleston (Liberal majority) 1863-1865
"Cochrane is an unfaithful boor, and Azalaia will not give his Unionists the time of day."
Iggleston was even more brief than Shortenmoor, as the Occidental War proved far more controversial than Shortenmoor thought, and the Unionists rode back to power on "Fight The War Right".
Sir Zacharias Cochrane (Unionist majority) 1865-1874
1865: def. Henry Templeton, 2nd Viscount Iggleston (Liberal), Gerald MacShane (Narsenian Home Rule), Paul Quincy Morris (People's Chartist)
1868: def. Edward Ripton, 7th Duke of Lancasmore (Liberal), Gerald MacShane (Narsenian Home Rule)
1873: def. Edward Ripton, 7th Duke of Lancasmore (Liberal), Patrick O'Neill (All-for-Narsenia), Gerald MacShane (Narsenian Home Rule)
"We upstarts have brought down an empire of thousands of years."
Cochrane re-entered power the way he left it, suddenly. Surging back to a majority, he was determined to win the war with Chinapa. Steam by this point was becoming very advanced, with Cochrane being the first Prime Minister to fly on a steam-powered blimp. Uttering very Lancasmorian rhetoric about the power of steam, Cochrane successfully modernised the military and utilised the latest technology to bring down what he described as "an empire of thousands of years" in his victory speech in Parliament. The Unionists became a very popular party after that and they won more seats in 1868, including winning back Mountespool Heights from Morris.
Declaring the 1870s "a decade of Imperialism", he successfully shepherded the Lundain Conference that divided up Garuda and Ayiama into lands owned by the Great Powers. Steam was becoming dominant in the 1870s and the capital city of Lundain was noticing a problem with air quality, something that became an issue later in the decade.
Exploiting a split in the Narsenian Home Rule vote, Cochrane won another majority in 1873 and retired the year after, finally becoming a peer (the Duke of Lampaster) in 1876.
Lionel Spring Rice, 17th Duke of Trewater (Unionist majority) 1874-1883
1878: def. Richard Bedford, 2nd Viscount Uppland (Liberal), Patrick O'Neill (All-for-Narsenia), Gerald MacShane (Narsenian Home Rule), Jimmie Garlick ("Radical-Liberal")
"Azalaia is full and content under Unionist rule."
Trewater was a more established figure, unlike the "upstart" Cochrane, yet received Cochrane's blessing as his successor. The skirmishes in colonial Garuda became a full-fledged colonial war between Azalaia and Gallia that eventually settled with a unsatisfactory status quo just after Trewater won a majority of his own in 1878.
The trade unionist Jimmie Garlick ran for the seat of Lampaster Witherington on the "Radical-Liberal" brand, getting the Liberal Party's de facto support. The "Radical-Liberal" brand would be a growing presence in subsequent decades as trade unions became more and more influential in politics, especially with the growth of steam industries.
In the end, the Liberals and Radical-Liberals eventually swept to victory in 1883 as the people grew tired of Unionist rule [especially with that humiliating status quo and the recession].
Sir Edward Mountrose (Liberal majority inc. Radical-Liberals) 1883-1889
1883: def. Lionel Spring Rice, 17th Duke of Trewater (Unionist), Gerald MacShane and Patrick O'Neill (United for Narsenia), Jimmie Garlick ("Radical-Liberal")
1885: def. Arthur de Villiers, Baron de Villiers (Unionist), Gerald MacShane and Trevor Reilly (United for Narsenia), Jimmie Garlick ("Radical-Liberal")
"My government is one devout to Azura's commandments."
Mountrose could be described as the Liberals' very own "Grand Old Man", as he was sixty-two when he first assumed power as Prime Minister, having been a Liberal cabinet and shadow cabinet minister since the Shortenmoor days. And now he was in the top spot. Determined to make the Liberal Party's time in government leave a lasting impression, he implemented fiscal policies that prioritised equality of opportunity and freedom of choice while slashing government expenses and balanced the budget for the first time in decades.
A strong orator, he was immensely popular with the working class [the fact that under Mountrose more seats were allowed for independent trade unionists to run as "Radical-Liberals" didn't hurt either] and his belief in Azura [Azalaia's chief goddess in its pantheon] was unshakeable. Tackling issues such as Lundain's growing smog problem, he won re-election handily.
However, in 1889 the Unionists surprisingly won a majority due to the economy driving middle-class voters away from the Liberals.

"The Unionist Party shall always be a common-sense party, not one consumed by ideology like the Liberals."
The younger brother of the former Prime Minister, Spring Rice was ultimately Cochrane's final protege and the one he thought would get into power one day. Sharing his mentor's love of steam technology, he encouraged steam industries to continue building factories, even as Samuel van der Coompuist over in the Kingdom of Gelderland invented the first "combustion engine", the first step in the end of the Era of Steam.
Relations with the Gallian Commonwealth deteriorated before finally starting the second war amongst the colonies in Garuda and Ayiama. The war was heading towards yet another unsatisfactory status quo when...
BANG BANG
Spring Rice was the first Prime Minister in a long while to be assassinated, and it was a great shock to everybody, as he seemed a mildly-popular man who was more or less inoffensive. There was a mild flurry of paranoia of "Gallian spies", even as the President of Gallia denied anything to do with the assassin [who was of Gallian blood, but was also a madman]. In the end, the status quo agreement happened anyway.

1897: def. Mortimer Lippenwick, 1st Duke of Mailenpost (Liberal), Jack O'Shane (United for Narsenia), Jimmie Garlick (Radical)
"Azalaia's natural diplomatic position is with its Teutonic brothers, not with Gallic enemies."
"Pez", as he was commonly known, took over after the shocking assassination of Spring Rice, and led a nationwide crackdown on suspected Gallian spies and attempted to orient Azalaian foreign policy to be more anti-Gallia, orienting it towards Teutonia. Nevertheless, the new Queen was a Gallophile and made diplomatic gestures that often overruled Sessex.
Hoping for another majority, he called one as the Liberals was in disarray as Garlick released a document roundily condemning Mailenpost and his corruption, and announced the Radical-Liberal MPs would found their own party, the Radical Party. The snap election took all of them by surprise, and led to an increased Unionist majority.
As the "Gallic Scare" quelled down, the Queen became more confident in her dealings with them, and even talked of a "new alliance", much to Sessex's horror as he wished for Azalaia to enter in an alliance with Teutonia. This led to the Prime Minister calling an election in 1901, hoping to make it all about foreign policy. Maybe a pro-Teutonia majority will get the Queen to see sense.
Oh, the economy went into recession just after he called it. Oh dear.
Sir Charles Pepsi-Darlington (Liberal minority with support from United for Narsenia) 1901-1905
1901: def. Trapezoid Wittington, 4th Marquis of Sessex (Unionist), Jack O'Shane (United for Narsenia), Jimmie Garlick (Radical)
"Damn those Narsenians."
Elected thanks to Sessex's blunder and an unexpected recession, Pepsi-Darlington found himself lacking a majority, so he turned to United for Narsenia for supply and confidence, with Garlick ruling explicit support out immediately. Thus the issue of "Home Rule" returned to the table. With many of his Liberals opposing it, and Unionists full-out opposing it, it never stood a chance, and O'Shane withdrew support in 1905, leading to Sessex calling a vote of no confidence and Pepsi-Darlington's brief government collapsed.
Still, he managed to work out an alliance with Gallia [much to the Queen's delight] and there was talk of allying with the Tyzanbine Empire as well, into a "Triple Alliance".
Trapezoid Wittington, 4th Marquis of Sessex (Unionist majority, then Unionist-Liberal Wartime Coalition) 1905-1914

1909: def. Sir Charles Pepsi-Darlington (Liberal), Paddy Young (United for Narsenia), Harry Browning (Radical)
"Such is my tragedy, to lead a war against the nation I've adored for so long."
It would be hard to remember that Sessex was anti-Gallia if it wasn't for the "Gallic Scare", as he ended up leading Azalaia to its defense against a country he wished to ally not that long before. Frustated by the fact that Pepsi-Darlington allied with those damn Gallians, he attempted to persuade the Queen to give him agreement to break the alliance off, but the Queen was intransigent and refused.
Querying around, he found what he already thought, that people weren't willing to go against the Queen on the alliance [and indeed, a majority of AMs supported extending it to Tyzanbium]. Considering resigning again, he got a phone call from the Foreign Office heavily suggesting that a stable government was very much needed in the near future.
Swallowing his pride, Sessex realised that he was defeated on this matter. No matter, it was not like there was a war coming. Going to Tyzanbium and agreeing to an alliance with its Emperor, he formed the "Triple Alliance" of Azalaia, Gallia and Tyzanbium in 1908. Calling an election the next year, he won it handily and set to push a heavily-domestic term.
Then everything blew up in Hennodia. Teutonia reacted badly to Tyzanbium for invading little Sylvania and threatened war in return. Gallia said "if you invade Tyzanbium, it's war!". Moskraya roared at this and said "invade our ally and we'll declare war!". In the end, everything went to shit and Sessex was forced to ask for a declaration of war onto the country he idolised for most of his life, before turning to the Liberals and requesting a wartime coalition for national unity. Notably, he did not ask either the Narsenian nationalists or the Radicals, only the Liberals under Pepsi-Darlington.
The war was dominated by trench warfare and progress was elusive by 1914, when the Prime Minister resigned, citing ill health. He died a year later.
Sir Jacob Quentin (Unionist-Liberal Wartime Coalition, then Unionist-Liberal-Radical Wartime Coalition, then Unionist majority) 1914-1918
"The war is over, at long last."
It would be Quentin who would lead Azalaia out of the war, as it finally finished in 1918 after seven years of death and destruction and many lives lost. Teutonia, Moskraya and Estalia lost big as the Triple Alliance stood victorious. Blood-soaked and tired of war, but still victorious, damn it! During the war, Quentin successfully got the Radicals in, figuring it was safer than them being in Opposition.
The peace conference started with Quentin attending on behalf of Azalaia, but after the election of 1918, someone else took his place as Azalaia voted out the Unionists in favour of a new government for a new age.
Meanwhile, the time of steam-powered Imperialism was over. Steam companies were bankrupt, combustion engines were booming, empires were either collapsed or at the brink of it, and the world entered a more dirty age, an age of extremism and of radical change as the world emerged from the ruins that was once the dominant Imperial System of the era of steam. Thus began the Era of Diesel.
The Power of Steam (1820s-1918)
Imperialism, Tariffs and Home Rule, oh my!
Geoffrey Ripton, 6th Duke of Lancasmore (Whig majority) 1819-1831
1819: def. James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory)
1825: def. James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory)
1830: def. James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory) and Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
"We are entering a new era, that of steam!"
Lancasmore was always an optimist, believing in the power of the coming steam age to transform Azalaian society. His policies of encouraging industry to grow was a part of this. However, his politics were also very nepotistic, with his family benefiting from the growth of steam industries. In 1831, Lancasmore resigned due to bad health, handing over to his successor.
Tobiaz Darlington, 2nd Baron Darlington (Whig majority, then Whig-Narsenian Home Rule coalition) 1831-1834
1832: def. James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory) and Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
"Home Rule is essential to the survival of Azalaia."
Darlington called an election after he became Prime Minister, but this led to a hung Parliament and an agreement with Home Rule for Narsenian self-government. This led to a split in the Whig Party as many, including Frederick Ripton [Lancasmore's second son] defected to form the Liberal and Unionist League, sinking Darlington's government.
James Tymander, 18th Earl of Mountespool (Tory majority, then Tory-Liberal and Unionist coalition, then Unionist majority) 1834-1857
1834: def. Tobiaz Darlington, 2nd Baron Darlington (Whig), Frederick Ripton (Liberal and Unionist), Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
1840: def. Charles Robinson, 9th Duke of Reyntime (Whig), Frederick Ripton (Liberal and Unionist), Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
1845: def. Charles Robinson, 9th Duke of Reyntime (Whig), Frederick Ripton (Liberal and Unionist), Barnabas Dallas (Narsenian Home Rule)
1851: def. Silas Lyttleton, Baron Lyttleton (Liberal), Thomas O'Kinnedie (Narsenian Home Rule)
1856: def. Silas Lyttleton, Baron Lyttleton (Liberal), Thomas O'Kinnedie (Narsenian Home Rule)
"The priority for this government is strength abroad and stability at home."
Known as the "Grand Old Man", Mountespool would hold on power far longer than everybody thought. His time as PM was defined by the growth of Imperialism and the subjection of many swathes of the world to Azalaian hegemony. Declaring the Azalaian people "naturally suited to ruling over the world", he authorised the conquest of four small countries on the underdeveloped Garudan continent, something widely condemned by other Hennodian Great Powers at first, but then later copied by them as the division of Garuda began in earnest.
In 1845, the Tories lost a majority and entered coalition with the Liberal-Unionists, and managed to fracture the party in the process, merging the majority with his Tories to form the modern Unionist Party, while some returned to the Whig Party to form the Liberal Party. Winning two landslides after, he died in 1857 someone who put his brand on to the country.
Sir Zacharias Cochrane (Unionist majority) 1857-1861
"I categorically deny that I had any form of intercourse with the daughter of the Duke of Reyntime."
Cochrane's first term was one of wasted potential, sank by a scandal that he denied up to the point where it was undeniable. The image of Cochrane was always one of an upstart that was favoured by the Grand Old Man simply because he reminded Mountespool of a younger him. Thus the Unionists weren't exactly enamoured with Cochrane, but the revelation that he had trysts with Elizabeth Robinson, the sole daughter of the Duke of Reyntime was fatal to his first term. Denying it constantly, he ended up marrying the daughter to save her honour after the trysts were proved true beyond any doubt.
He lost the 1861 election to the surging Liberals under the Marquis of Shortenmoor.
Jacob Campbell, 2nd Marquis of Shortenmoor (Liberal majority) 1861-1863*
1861: def. Sir Zacharias Cochrane (Unionist), Thomas O'Kinnedie (Narsenian Home Rule), Paul Quincy Morris (People's Chartist)
"We Liberals defend the right of the Azalaian individual."
The Marquis of Shortenmoor was one of Azalaia's brief prime ministers. The only real legacy he had was starting the "Occidental War" with the Celestial Empire of Chinapa in 1862 that would engulf Azalaia's forces for seven years.
The Association for a People's Charter (also known as the "People's Chartists") was the first working-class organisation to enter Parliament with the election of Paul Quincy Morris in Mountespool Heights.
Henry Templeton, 2nd Viscount Iggleston (Liberal majority) 1863-1865
"Cochrane is an unfaithful boor, and Azalaia will not give his Unionists the time of day."
Iggleston was even more brief than Shortenmoor, as the Occidental War proved far more controversial than Shortenmoor thought, and the Unionists rode back to power on "Fight The War Right".
Sir Zacharias Cochrane (Unionist majority) 1865-1874
1865: def. Henry Templeton, 2nd Viscount Iggleston (Liberal), Gerald MacShane (Narsenian Home Rule), Paul Quincy Morris (People's Chartist)
1868: def. Edward Ripton, 7th Duke of Lancasmore (Liberal), Gerald MacShane (Narsenian Home Rule)
1873: def. Edward Ripton, 7th Duke of Lancasmore (Liberal), Patrick O'Neill (All-for-Narsenia), Gerald MacShane (Narsenian Home Rule)
"We upstarts have brought down an empire of thousands of years."
Cochrane re-entered power the way he left it, suddenly. Surging back to a majority, he was determined to win the war with Chinapa. Steam by this point was becoming very advanced, with Cochrane being the first Prime Minister to fly on a steam-powered blimp. Uttering very Lancasmorian rhetoric about the power of steam, Cochrane successfully modernised the military and utilised the latest technology to bring down what he described as "an empire of thousands of years" in his victory speech in Parliament. The Unionists became a very popular party after that and they won more seats in 1868, including winning back Mountespool Heights from Morris.
Declaring the 1870s "a decade of Imperialism", he successfully shepherded the Lundain Conference that divided up Garuda and Ayiama into lands owned by the Great Powers. Steam was becoming dominant in the 1870s and the capital city of Lundain was noticing a problem with air quality, something that became an issue later in the decade.
Exploiting a split in the Narsenian Home Rule vote, Cochrane won another majority in 1873 and retired the year after, finally becoming a peer (the Duke of Lampaster) in 1876.
Lionel Spring Rice, 17th Duke of Trewater (Unionist majority) 1874-1883
1878: def. Richard Bedford, 2nd Viscount Uppland (Liberal), Patrick O'Neill (All-for-Narsenia), Gerald MacShane (Narsenian Home Rule), Jimmie Garlick ("Radical-Liberal")
"Azalaia is full and content under Unionist rule."
Trewater was a more established figure, unlike the "upstart" Cochrane, yet received Cochrane's blessing as his successor. The skirmishes in colonial Garuda became a full-fledged colonial war between Azalaia and Gallia that eventually settled with a unsatisfactory status quo just after Trewater won a majority of his own in 1878.
The trade unionist Jimmie Garlick ran for the seat of Lampaster Witherington on the "Radical-Liberal" brand, getting the Liberal Party's de facto support. The "Radical-Liberal" brand would be a growing presence in subsequent decades as trade unions became more and more influential in politics, especially with the growth of steam industries.
In the end, the Liberals and Radical-Liberals eventually swept to victory in 1883 as the people grew tired of Unionist rule [especially with that humiliating status quo and the recession].
Sir Edward Mountrose (Liberal majority inc. Radical-Liberals) 1883-1889
1883: def. Lionel Spring Rice, 17th Duke of Trewater (Unionist), Gerald MacShane and Patrick O'Neill (United for Narsenia), Jimmie Garlick ("Radical-Liberal")
1885: def. Arthur de Villiers, Baron de Villiers (Unionist), Gerald MacShane and Trevor Reilly (United for Narsenia), Jimmie Garlick ("Radical-Liberal")
"My government is one devout to Azura's commandments."
Mountrose could be described as the Liberals' very own "Grand Old Man", as he was sixty-two when he first assumed power as Prime Minister, having been a Liberal cabinet and shadow cabinet minister since the Shortenmoor days. And now he was in the top spot. Determined to make the Liberal Party's time in government leave a lasting impression, he implemented fiscal policies that prioritised equality of opportunity and freedom of choice while slashing government expenses and balanced the budget for the first time in decades.
A strong orator, he was immensely popular with the working class [the fact that under Mountrose more seats were allowed for independent trade unionists to run as "Radical-Liberals" didn't hurt either] and his belief in Azura [Azalaia's chief goddess in its pantheon] was unshakeable. Tackling issues such as Lundain's growing smog problem, he won re-election handily.
However, in 1889 the Unionists surprisingly won a majority due to the economy driving middle-class voters away from the Liberals.

[1] St. Louis native Joe Garagiola spent most of his 9 season baseball career playing for his hometown Cardinals. After retirement, he became a television host until 1968 when he ran for and was successfully elected Governor of Missouri. Nixon thought that Garagiola's personality and his "Silent Majority" persona would get him confirmed as Vice President. Nixon was proven right, much to the relief of House Minority Leader Gerald Ford who would retire from Congress in 1976.
[2] Anderson played amateur ice hockey and did get a silver medal playing for the USA team in the 1956 Winter Olympics. Udall played one season for the Denver Nuggets in the NBA and was the Democratic nominee for President in 1984.
[3] Hall of Fame NFL quarterback, Congressman and the architect of "Kemponomics"
[4] Bunning was a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies and Baseball Hall of Famer. He was also Governor of Kentucky (1984-1988) and briefly ran for President in 1988. Won GOP nomination in 1996.
[5] Former Knicks basketball star selects Senate colleague and Milwaukee Bucks owner as his running mate. Kohl had to transfer the team to a blind trust before taking office as Vice President. Unsuccessful Dem nominee for President but later became NBA Commissioner
[6] From baseball pitcher to Governor of Texas (1995-2001), Ryan described himself as a Kemp Republican but governed more like Calvin Coolidge. Dawkins won the Heisman Trophy, served in the US Army, moved to New York after military career and became investment banker; also Treasury Secretary under Kemp and Secretary of Defense under Dole.
[7] A heart attack in 1979 forced Ashe to retire from tennis. In 1982, he was elected to a Congressional seat in northern Virginia and supported some of Kemp's policies on public housing and urban enterprise zones. Elected Governor of Virginia in 1989. Served as Secretary of HUD (1996-2000) and elected US Senator in 2000.
[8] Former Red Sox pitcher and World Series champ had zero political experience when he was elected President. At least former football player Didier did have experience (US House of Reps 2005-2017) and shared Schilling's populist conservative views. His cabinet includes John McCain (Secretary of State), Dr. Ben Carson (Secretary of HEW) and J.C. Watts (Secretary of Commerce). President Schilling's first choice for Treasury Secretary was Donald Trump but his refusal to sell off his real estate or put his investments into a blind trust took him out of the running. Mitt Romney ended up with the job instead.
