The worst part, at least in my view, was how all those Best Buy Rewards Card commercials kept on running in the middle of the trial, with that obnoxious song, what was it called again? Oh yes, "What's New Pussycat" by Tom Jones.
There truly was a sigh of relief when little Johnny Clinton was exonerated after the judge ruled it as "not an unusual case," but I think Bill exaggerated a bit when he compared it to the liberation of France.

It doesn't matter... the internet will always theorize about how they think he killed Princess Diana and that stuff.

Brexit happens. It's endlessly complicated, morally indecisive and somehow still unclear, but Brexit happens nonetheless. May, for once abiding by a promise she made a short while ago, steps down as Tory leader in the run-up to the 2022 election. The new PM, the bright-faced and relatively likeable Atkins, somehow manages to pull in a slight majority over Corbyn, who by all means was expecting to clean house as food shortages began to paralyse port cities all over the United Kingdom. Unfortunately Jezza wouldn't have a second go at taking the reigns as he is struck down by a distracted bus driver whilst out for his morning bike around Islington. Despite the fact that he's replaced by the equally anti-establishment Solomon, who ends up striking a deal with the Extinction-rebellion-affiliated-Greens offshoot in order to finally take back Parliament, a splinter group of working-class-adjacent folks start their own party in the same vein as when ChangeUK became a funnel for disenfranchised centrists. Then shit gets real crazy.

The Brexit Party, formerly of UKIP blood, rebrands itself for the umpteenth time into the Sovereignty Party, and insists that it's totally not racist you guys, focusing on trivial quibbles such as reinstating the monarchy. These quibbles announce them to get in on the Cleverly cabinet, who catches a lot of flack when they announce that the country will no longer be accepting European imports in order to 'jumpstart british-lead production'. Meanwhile, after finally experimenting with some parties who aren't Sinn Fein, Ulster and the Irish Republic are finally united in an unexpected referendum initiated by PM Embery. Scotland, now flip flopping between their National and Labour parties, would also very much like a second independence referendum, but unfortunately for them, the UK has a much bigger problem on their hands.

As if seeing Sargon of Akkad run for European Parliament and saying 'hold my beer', the ringleader of the EDL starts an even-further-to-the-right branch of the Sovereignty Party, going full draconian and demanding anyone who wasn't born in 'their country' be deported. He then immediately proceeds to contradict himself by allying with Prime Minister Patel, which gives the fringe and increasingly violent wing of the party to join in on the growing instances on street fighting and evan instances of EDL-sanctioned bombings. This only intensifies when Prime Minister Ibrahim 'steals control of parliament' with a minority coalition and ends up calling in the home guard to fight the admittedly racist rioters. Within the span of a few weeks, England is in open civil war.

Will there be notes? I'm really intrigued by this. Constructing a complex political background for a 3 minutes long video is AltHist at its finest.

Essentially a worst-case scenario Brexit leads to more extreme leftwing/rightwing divide to the point of open war, pretty self explanatory. But I'll add a writeup now.

RFK never takes the detour through the hotel kitchen that separated him from his bodyguard, butterflying away his assassination. He narrowly loses to Humphrey at the Democratic Convention. While Humphrey wins the popular vote by a fraction of a percent thanks to Kennedy's support in the general, he loses the electoral vote to Nixon. Questions of illegitimacy fuel Nixon's paranoia throughout his first term. In 1972, Kennedy defeats Humphrey in a rematch but again the Presidency is taken from him as a combination of dirty tricks and foreign policy victories carry Nixon over the top on election day. Kennedy is dispirited and enters a long depression, feeling that he has failed the country. But a year later he gets a chance to regain his luster as he plays a leading role in the Senate Watergate investigations. Redeemed by his Congressional work, RFK takes the Democratic nomination a second time in 1976 and handily defeats President Ford.

Kennedy's first term as President is mostly successful, however the 1979 oil crash and a brief recession cause a dent in his popularity. After hostages are taken at the US Embassy in Iran, RFK vetoes a military option but diplomatic efforts fall short. The Republican ticket of Reagan and Bush exploit the faltering economy and the hostage crisis to create a tight race against the President. Yet Reagan's bump in the polls fades away once the economy improves during the fall campaign and, in a surprise twist, a secret arms deal triggers the release of the hostages in late October. Kennedy is re-elected in a landslide. The promise of his second term is cut short by an assassin's bullet on March 30, 1981.

The new President, Jimmy Carter, signs a gun reform bill to widespread approval. Carter uses his popularity to score major foreign policy victories, including a treaty with Panama and an agreement between Egypt and Israel. But as the economy enters a steep recession, the conservative Carter does little to mitigate the downturn and his constant fights with Congress create gridlock in Washington. The GOP comes back with a vengeance in the 1982 midterms. While the economy improves by 1984, Carter is disliked by both the left, right, and center as he is hurt by a primary challenge from Jesse Jackson and Pat Robertson's Evangelical third party candidacy. In a narrow race, moderate Republican Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania unseats President Carter.

After that, Heinz is re-elected and VP Lamar Alexander wins in 1992. Does anyone have any ideas for who might win in 1996?

Return of the King: RFK Lives Continued

43. Bill Clinton (1997-2005), D-AR
VP: Bill Bradley (1997-2005), D-NJ
44. Jeb Bush (2005-2013), R-FL
VP: Tom Ridge (2005-2013), R-PA
45. Barack Obama (2013-2021), D-IL
VP: Russ Feingold (2013-2021), D-WI

After Carter's 1984 loss, the Democrats went through an additional eight years of presidential defeats. President Heinz easily beat Colorado Senator Gary Hart to win a second term in 1988. Despite a recession in 1991, Vice-President Alexander narrowly upset former Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas to win a term in his own right. But by 1994 the Democrats were resurgent: the GOP was seen to have done nothing about the economic downturn, and NAFTA mobilized the Democratic base to route the Republicans in the midterm elections. This created an opportunity that Bill Clinton had been waiting for his entire life. Clinton had been elected Governor in 1978 and 1980, and was seen as a rising Democratic star. Yet he lost in the 1982 Republican wave year. After four years in the wilderness he made a comeback in 1986 and was re-elected Governor in 1990. Clinton had considered running in 1988 in 1992, but 1988 was too early and in '92 he'd yet to sort out questions over his messy personal life. With President Alexander vulnerable, and his political organization in full force, Clinton took the Democratic nomination and won a clear victory in the general election.

Clinton's popularity quickly evaporated during a chaotic transition and an unfocused first hundred days that saw little accomplished on domestic issues. While Clinton's budget barely passed, his proposals for a middle class tax cut and an economic stimulus fell flat. Clinton was more successful in foreign policy: he pushed the Kyoto Protocol to ratification, ordered a military intervention into Kosovo, and played a crucial role in the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland. While the Republicans made gains in 1998, the booming economy and Clinton's foreign policy victories made him unbeatable in 2000.

2001 saw Clinton's skills in foreign policy work their greatest magic: he worked tirelessly to formulate a peace settlement between Israel and Palestine and negotiated a reunification plan for North and South Korea. But Bill Clinton, being Bill Clinton, would soon prove to be his own worst enemy: while fighting a sexual harassment lawsuit in court, he'd begun an affair with a Pentagon employee and former intern named Monica Lewinsky. They'd met in 1997 when Clinton first became President, and continued their relationship after Lewinsky started a career at the Pentagon. In 2002 the affair was made public but Clinton denied the story. The Democrats in Congress, worried the affair would jeopardize their thin majorities, opened an ethics investigation into the President. After nine months of denials, Clinton was forced to reveal the truth. With the economy in a mild recession and the public weary of Clinton's sex scandal, the Republicans retook the House in 2002.

In 2004, Vice-President Bill Bradley narrowly lost his White House bid to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush as Republicans also retook the Senate. For eight years Bush governed as a moderate Republican, working to reduce the deficit and debt while compromising with Democrats on Social Security. After Bush's 2008 re-election, the housing bubble burst in 2009 and by 2010 the economy was in a severe recession. This opened the door for charismatic Illinois Senator Barack Obama to win the presidency in 2012, becoming America's first black President. Obama was re-elected in 2016 and remains highly popular thanks to a soaring economy. Looking ahead to 2020, Vice-President Russ Feingold is the likely Democratic nominee. Whether or not he will manage to succeed Obama remains to be seen.

-The United States of America is in a very precarious situation in 2017.

While the country briefly experienced a sort of "golden decade" during the 1990s, the illusion of prosperity has shattered in the past twenty years. Politically speaking, the United States has seen a drastic political realignment after the Administration of Dick Grephardt, with the vast corruption within all three of the United States' dominant parties and the lack of major political progress causing many Americans faith in government to erode. To make matters worse for the American political establishment, the recession of 2006 has seen thousands to loose their jobs and sink into poverty, causing widespread economic anxiety, even among many Americans who were previous completely economically secure. The vast migration wave from the Latin American States hasn't helped either. Hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees have flooded into the Southern Border States, sparking ethnic tensions between the local White and Black majority and the new Hispanic settlers. The U.S is also in a very tough situation diplomatically speaking, as well. While the United States has been able to largely remain isolated from the affairs of the outside world since the end of the Second World War, the recent rise in tensions between the Moscow Concordat and the Atlantic Defense Association has forced the American Government to play peacemaker. Unfortunately, this has had the unintended consequence of both factions seeking out the United States' assistance. Prime Minster Peterson and General Secretary Suraykin have both been breathing down President O'Malley's neck more and more recently.

This has all fallen upon President Martin O'Malley, who is trying desperately to do what he can to fix the United States' predicament. However, with a divided congress, a populous hungry for political action, and an ongoing investigation into the ethics of the United States' dominant political factions, can he actually succeed?

Political
Parties in the United States of America (Circa 2017):

Labor: Federal Syndicalism, Labor Social Democracy, Social Conservatism (Factions), Social Progressivism (Factions)
Once the dominant party of the American Left, leading the country through some of it's darkest times, including the Great Depression and the Second World War, the American Labor Party has fallen from grace. At one point in time, the American Labor Party was the hammer of the American Working Class, creating some of the most prominent social programs and reforms, such as the National American Medical Program and the Labor Sequences, and embedding the principles of Federal Syndicalism into the very core of American society. However, the party has seen it's power slowly erode over the past three decades, a combination of vast deep seeded corruption and a shift to the ideological center driving many Americans who had once considered the Labor Party the shining beacon of working class power away. Even through the Grephardt days, where the party seemingly rebounded after nearly four decades in the political wilderness, the party was declining, and nowadays the party is just a shell of it's former self. Parties like the Independent Left and The Greens have tore into the party's base of blue collar laborers, minorities, and students, reducing the power of the party even more. This is perhaps no better reflected in the fact that President O'Malley, who hales from the Labor Party, was elected by only two percentage points against a Party whose incumbent President was embroiled in both a sex scandal and a corruption indictment. Things may be looking up for the party, however, as President O'Malley is currently enjoying stable approval ratings and his recent four point re-election has given many party stalwarts hope that Labor can retake it's status as the party of the American workers once more. Though, if Special Counsel Sanders' investigations reveal any damning information about the party, these hopes may be dashed.

Republicans: Social Liberalism, Fiscal Conservatism, Liberal Conservatism
The Party of both Lincoln and Nixon, the GOP has had it's ups and downs over the past hundred years. While many thought the party was destined to collapse during the 1930s, as the party struggled to overcome it's image as the "Party of the Depression", it's eventual revival as the party of the "American Majority" during the forties and fifties, in no small part due to the efforts of liberal figures like Thomas Dewey and Richard Nixon, set the party on the path to once again become the political behemoth it is today. In modern times, the Republicans are known as the representatives of the American middle class. Themes of business and entrepreneurship are at the heart of the Republican message to the American people, with a dash of social liberalism with their history of advocacy of civil rights. Of course, this is all undercut by the Party's corruption. Much like their sister parties, the Republicans are heavily corrupt, with many elected officials and key figures in the party being in the pockets of big business and other special interest groups. This has become a major problem for the Republicans, especially in the last ten years, as the Party's corruption has become more prominent, staining the party's previous image as the torchbearers of prosperity and clean governance. Still, though, the Republicans are doing far better than their counterparts, as the party's suburban base is willing to remain loyal to the party as long as the economy stays stable. While the 2006 Recession has affected this slightly, the Republicans have been able to shift the blame to the opposition as Labor and the Democrats have been unable to rectify the situation, and the Party's base has largely believed it.

Democratic: Social Conservatism, Economic Populism, Wallacism, Religious Conservatism
Perhaps the oddest party ideologically speaking, the Democrats combine staunch social conservatism and Social Democratic economic populism. This strange ideological synthesis, popularized by figures like Huey Long and of course, George Wallace, the father of the modern Democratic Party, has allowed the party to appeal to a large portion of the American electorate, allowing it to both retain it's base comprised of rural voters, religious voters, and older voters and also capture a large amount of swing voters. This is generally the coalition that puts the Democrats in the white house. The fact that it is objectively the least corrupt of the three major parties helps to maintain this coalition. The scandalous Edwards Administration has somewhat hurt the party and the fact that social conservatism is slowly, but surely dying in the United States is a major concern for party leaders, but the Democrats rebounded in 2016 and are expected to gain once again in the 2020 elections. I suppose that's appropriate, considering the party's long history of being isolated to the political wilderness. But, the party of Wallace always comes back eventually.

Independent Left: Left Liberterianism, Alter-Globalization, Anti-Corruption
Originally a left-wing protest party formed by disgruntled members of the Labor Party, the Independent Left has grown to become not only a legitimate political force, but a powerful one. As the Labor Party has faltered, the ILP has slowly ate into it's base, with the party's radical left-libertarian platform and anti-corruption advocacy endearing it to many Labor voters who feel abandoned by the increasingly centre-leaning politics of the party. In the last decade, the ILP's popularity has exploded, and the Party has become the primary member of the so-called "Progressive Alliance". Recently, in the 2016 election, the party took 15.7% of the vote, with the Progressive Alliance winning nearly three dozen seats in the House and seven in the senate. If the ILP can continue to expand it's coalition, many political theorists have speculated that it is possible that the party may surpass the Democrats to become the third largest party in the United States.

Railroad: Minority Rights, Christian Socialism, Religious Left
Founded in 1963 by legendary civil rights activist Reverend Martin Luther King, at the time frustrated with the lack of progress of the Black Civil Rights Movement, the Railroad is the primary party of the black and brown left. For a time, the Railroad was an immense political force, representing the interests of Black Americans in a nation run by an open neo-segregationist. While it briefly fell into obscurity in the 1970s and 1980s as the Labor Party embraced the civil rights movement, the Party was reborn again in the 1990s after Jesse Jackson, with the blessing of the aging King, took the reigns of the party and rallied the African-American left against the Labor Party, who had become more friendly to law-and-order politics as figures like Joe Biden became prominent in Labor Leadership. With it's revival, the party has seen itself revitalized as the primary partner of the Progressive Alliance, with the party attracting both young, urban African-Americans who like the party due to it's advocacy for criminal justice reform and older, more religious African-Americans who previously aligned with the Labor Party or the Democrats, who like the party's synthesis of Christian social beliefs and Socialist economics. Recently, the party has also seen an influx of Hispanic-Americans and Latino-Americans, who support the party's strong support for immigrant rights.

Greens: Green Politics, Eco-Socialism, Ecological Labor
During the 1990s, environmentalism surged in the United States after events like the 1993 TEXCO Oil Spill. Many American environmentalists found themselves lost, however, as most of the three major parties were either extremely moderate on environmental issues in an attempt to appeal to their base, like Labor, or openly hostile to the environmentalist causes, like the Democrats and Republicans. Realizing that they were going to go nowhere in the three major parties, environmentalist leaders decided to form their own party. Said party would be the Greens. While it was somewhat irrelevant for a few years, with the party's only real base being among educated middle-class environmentalists, the Greens were able to spread their message more effectively after joining the Progressive Alliance. Soon, cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and New Orleans, which had become the epicenter of the environmentalist movement, became fertile electoral ground for the Green Party. Since then, the party has been able to elect itself a handful of representatives, a senator, and a governor.

Bush Sr was born in Massachusetts. So unless his family moves to the South before he is born (which I find unlikely), he probably wouldn't be eligible to run. In this ATL, he is more likely to be a Senator from Connecticut.
 
Presidents of the United States
33. Rexford Tugwell/Henry A. Wallace (Progressive)
(January 20th,1941-January 20th,1945)

1940 Def: Thomas Dewey/Charles Halleck (Northern Conservative)
William B. Bankhead/Cordell Hull (Southern Conservative)

With the upset victory of Rexford Tugwell over the well established two party system, he would immediately set out to conduct what he had promised his constituents and the forty million voters which had put him in the white house. He promised sweeping electoral reform and massive government reform, calling upon the bizarre system of state conventions to ratify a slew of government shake up bills to the very foundation of the United States. After close to a year of working out the details with many senators and representatives from all sides, he was able to pass the bill through, sign it and leave it up to the states to ratify such an agreement.

Despite the relatively tight schedule of from November 1943 to November of 1944 where he was planning on holding the new elections, a majority of the states finalized their signatures on the legislation with 36 of the 48 total states ratifying the amendment. The United States had a relatively quiet death with the formal name change to the Union of Allied States, named in part for an added measure of moral support for the Allied Powers of the ongoing world war.


President-Ministers of the Union of Allied States
1. Rexford Tugwell (Progressive)
(January 20th,1945-January 20th,1957)

400 total seats
1944:
[200] (majority) Def: Northern Conservative [140] Southern Conservative [58] Independent [2]
1948:
[277] (majority) Def: Northern Conservative [43] Southern Conservative [78] Nationalist [1] Independent [1]
1952:
[278] (Majority) Def: Northern Conservative [40] Southern Conservative [78] Socialist [2] Nationalist [1] Independent [1]

The First four years of his President-Ministry proved to be the trailblazer for the next heads of state within the office of P-M. He attempted to, in his words "convey an appearance of the 1940s version of George Washington". Historians have debated if this attempt had succeeded, with the notable passing of sweeping land reform acts by the majority within the new legislature. He also managed to pass the controversial Marriage Rights Act of 1950, which forbid discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender. His time as President-Minister was seen as one of supposed weakness on foreign policy, something that a Texan senator turned legally married partner of an Arizonan senator would exploit and win off of in the 1956 legislative elections.

2. Lyndon Goldwater (Southern Conservative)
(January 20th,1957-January 20th,1969)

1956:
[260] (Majority) Def: Northern Conservative [48] Progressive [40] Socialist [22] New Progressive [12] Nationalist [10] Whig [5] Union [2] All American [1]

1960:
[195+14 =209] (Coalition with All American) Def: Northern Conservative [50] Progressive [41] Socialist [25] New Progressive [24] Nationalist [23] Whig [20] Union [8]

1964:
[210] (Majority) Def:Northern Conservative [55] Progressive [50] Socialist [40] New Progressive [14] Nationalist [13] Union [10] All American [7] Whig [1]

The overwhelming victory by the Southern Conservative party came as no surprise with the exception of the far left wing branch of the Progressives, which wanted to bring more change in the areas of gender equality, race relations and religious freedom. It was seen as a staunchly Christian backlash against the more secular version of the Progressive wings which they felt as though they were dissolving organized religion.
It came as even more of a surprise that a gay, more libertarian type figure with an abhorrence of the religious right came out as the Southern Conservative Prime Minister. These tensions would continue to boil as the hot headed Goldwater would frequently spar with his own party members. Normally the Progressives would be foolish to not take advantage of such a splintering within the Southern Conservatives, though aging cautious leadership, not wanting to alienate the moderate progressive wing of the party that still voted with the southern conservatives via ticket splitting of the local offices would be the fools.

Goldwater's foreign policy was mostly hawkish, perfectly in line with the more war like Southern Conservative membership and MPs. He would embroil the UAS with an invasion of Morocco to overthrow the communist backed government. After sixty thousand dead Americans and a lessened parliamentarian majority was all they had to show for it after four years, they would humiliatingly pull out of the conflict.



3. Nelson Rockefeller (Northern Conservative)
(January 20th,1969-January 20th,1973)

427 seats
1968:
[311] (Majority) Def: Southern Conservative [30] True Progressive [20] Real Socialist [21] Union [20] Nationalist [15] All American [8] Whig [1] Progressive-Socialist [1]

Promising a more moderate government and running on the slogan "The Moderates will Govern Moderately" pulled in a large group comprised of anti war protesters, unemployed workers and government contractors who were furious that a semi-free market was being implemented to replace the work that they did for the armed forces. It was with this very specific and yet varied coalition of voters that the Northern Conservatives swept much of the Boarder States and the West Coast with an unprecedented 311 total seats.

President-Minister Rockefeller would administer the Rockefeller Policy, which regulated the amount of aid american backed dictators would get depending on how well they treated their citizens and civil liberties throughout the country. This policy's intentions were to unintentionally encourage democratization between the dictators of various African and European countries. The actual effect of the policy was the immediate switching over of several african and middle eastern dictatorships to some sort of red banner while ringing up the People's Czar for military aide and a couple tanks.

One of the most disastrous question regarding this policy became who was to blame for the loss of Germany. The Germany Question would rage throughout the 1970s as a key cornerstone of future american foreign policy within the European continent. The People's Kaiser Wilhelm III would solidify the ties with the crown communist run monarchies of China, Russia and the Second Ottoman Empire.

4. Harry S. Truman (Northern Conservative)*
(January 20th,1973-December 26th,1973)

1972:
[218] (Majority) Def: All American [80] Nationalist [62] Southern Conservative [41] Real Socialist [20] True Progressive [5] Whig [1]
Clinging to political office with a bare three seat majority in Parliament, the Truman Administration would be one of frequent compromise with the more numerous All American party and Nationalists, yet attempting to appease their more progressive side and trying to woo the True Progressives by declaring frequently that they had the majority and did not need a coalition. The governing party would, under his instruction and guidance, shoot down any and all proposals made that were too radical or not large enough.

Historians generally rate his President-Ministerial role within the history as mediocre at best while noting some of the minute reforms passed by his administration in the easement of medical records between patients and their doctors along with an ease of military high command structuring that would allow on the spot decisions to be undertaken by junior ranking officers.

5. George Lincoln Rockwell (All American)
(December 26th,1973-January 20th,1981)

1976:
[291] (Majority) Def: Northern Conservative [48] Nationalist [40] Southern Conservative [42] Socialist [4] True Progressive [1] Whig [1]
Appointed President-Minister upon the death of truman initially as an attempt by the minority for a joke, he would prove to be hot headed and frequently paranoid throughout his tenure, authorizing the controversial overthrow of the british communist monarchy under People's Queen Elizabeth II and installing a brutal military junta in it's place. He would promote his nationalist ideas throughout various western backed client states of the UAS, managing to launch a full scale invasion of Mexico upon their election of a Moscow backed communist party in democratic elections. It would be under his tenure that the Rockefeller Doctrine would be terminated and replaced with the much more aggressive and similar sounding Rockwell Doctrine.

Under the Rockwell Doctrine, the slightest provocation by the People's Empire of Russia would mean total nuclear holocaust for the entire world. While he had been supported heavily by former President-Minister Goldwater, the more moderate Northern Conservatives and splintered Progressive movements were alienated and horrified at such a reckless policy.

Rockwell would launch an invasion of Canada when a political cartoon was published in the Washington Post that was critical of Rockwell. The Cartoon War of 1975 was considered to be the climax of the Rockwell Doctrine, with the atomic leveling of Ottawa in retaliation for such a heinous caricature of the beloved leader.

With the controversial deaths of over 150,000 Canadians weighing heavily on the minds of many in the 1976 legislative elections, the party was nonetheless granted a majority of seats because of high approval for his actions at the time.
 
I was reading Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 when the idea of Lindsay 72-Kennedy 76 popped into my mind. An hour or so later, this is what we have: Nixon becomes a national hero and the 22nd Amendment is repealed, allowing him to return in 1984 after Palestinian terrorists kill President Reagan and VP Simon, Jesse Jackson Jr. allows the Democrats to implode beneath him and eventually the New Democrats are founded. The Republicans are significantly more big tent ITTL, with a significant moderate to liberal wing (as can be seen by the fact that Ralph Nader, albeit in a more aged moderated form) is running-mate to none other than Tricky Dick's son in law.

*Died in office

The worsening of the state of the war in Vietnam was too much for Lyndon Baines Johnson to handle, as he suffered a major heart attack late one night in his office. It is believed that his last words were "those poor boys," in reference to those fighting in Vietnam, but this is likely a myth as nobody was with him at the moment of the heart attack and there are no accounts that mention this from the Secret Servicemen or paramedics who were with him when he died.

In the shadow of this tragedy, Hubert Horatio Humphrey took office and had to steer the country through the end of the '60s and beginning of the 1970s. He was a Cold Warrior and Liberal who stood with the party machines and supported the war despite its growing unpopularity, as it was the last legacy of his predecessor along with the Great Society. He chose Johnson's right hand man to be his VP, but would soon regret it as he and Connally bumped heads more than Humphrey did with the anti-war left of the party. A bubbling resentment against the Democratic Party establishment would lead to a national Independent ticket running at the White House. Former Kentucky Governor Albert "Happy" Chandler would recruit Tennessee Rep. Bill Anderson to make a run at the White House with him. This ticket would get a lot of anti-war protest votes, despite the fact that Chandler was in support of continuing the Vietnam War. The ticket's targeted voters would largely be rural Democratic voters who felt alienated by the Great Society and anti-war movement. Altogether they'd only take home a little over 5% of the vote their first time around.

In 1972, in the midst of the Oil Crisis and winding down of the Vietnam War, Hubert Humphrey lost re-election in favor of moderate Republican and Illinois Senator Charles Harting Percy. Many chalk up Humphrey's loss to the much stronger run by Happy Chandler this time around, which scored 17% of the popular vote and a handful of small western states. President Chuck Percy would be immensely popular as he famously vetoed the Panama Canal Treaty that would hand the land back to its namesake country and bombing North Vietnam as it attempted to re-ignite conflict. Percy would also vote every federal budget he was given, forcing Congress to override his veto each time. He would remain very popular through his re-election, which saw a major split between the nominee, anti-war left wing hero Robert Kennedy, and Happy Chandler's heir, Washington Senator Scoop Jackson. They nearly split the vote in half, with Kennedy receiving 25% and Jackson 22%, with the remaining 55% going to the incumbent President. This would end up being a poison chalice, as Percy's second term would be marked by foreign policy failures, like Iran going red and failing to help India in its war with China, resulting in their defeat.

Percy would leave office the most unpopular President since Truman and beckon in a new era of American politics with the election of the Independent Governor of Alaska, Calvin Coolidge Worthington. President Cal Worthington would be a massive departure from his predecessors, both in terms of Independent ticket runs and Presidents. Worthington had never been closely aligned with either party, despite being named after a former Republican President, and would be the most overtly folksy and populist president seen in a long time. His presidency was marked by incredible economic growth and the breaking up of the Warsaw Pact, which saw the Soviet Union decline in standing. To this day many claim that Worthington was the best president of their lifetime and he is consistently ranked alongside Washington, Lincoln, and both Roosevelts as the best presidents to ever live.
