Thank you for providing the article concerning her and Kennedy's relationship will definitely inform the rest of the TL.
On the health...
Ok so here goes.
" Are you sure about this? " asked the senior aide to the man next to him. The allegations were borderline unbelievable even given what they knew. The man nodded soberly slowly taking the file back.
" But why show it to us now? I mean Senator Kennedy is months away from even...
I agree with you that a third Roosevelt Presidency would most likely happen in the 1940s but it immediately makes her part of the establishment. Think Hilary Clinton for a contemporary example.
Secondly having it in the 1960s broadened the scope of the story substantially.
I must confess that...
No problem, the older man's meant to be Audie Murphy the most decorated veteran of World War 2. By all accounts even aside of his war hero status he was a gem of a guy.
I don't think he'd normally do something like this but yeah do you see a World War hero refusing an order from Prest...
Alabama 1963,
The two young women stood outside the university apprehensive when they noticed an older man walking towards them in a military uniform. He was in 40s lightly built but had a calming energy about him.
He was clearly in charge of the military men who appeared and he looked at the...
I need to state, something about the age thing here. Considering in 2019 Bernie Sanders is 78, Joe Biden is 77 and Trump is 72 it doesn't seem to really be an issue in American politics. Given Bernie Sanders' voters all skewed to a far younger age I don't see the youth wave of the 1960s being an...

The main reason I thought of Eleanor Roosevelt was that she would have a name brand which no other politician at the time even today might be able to match.
I'd actually thought of setting it in the 1940s or 1950s but then it threatened to become a dynastic drama. This isn't Hilary Clinton in...
The Super Bowl 2020
J Lo sat down for her post Super Bowl interview with ESPN.
" Definitely I mean you can't imagine what it was like for a young girl to see that image. My mother used to frame it, " she said.
" Seeing three powerful woman together in such a tragic moment was something all...
That's true but considering Regan was 76/77 before finishing his term it's just about an acceptable break. [Spoilers]
Probably end her term sometime into LBJ's real life first term. Let's see how the TL progresses.
Im doing it on mobile and net is pretty slow but I'll try to add them. I'd...
Eleanor Roosevelt was without a doubt a woman who aside of her being FDR's wife led a remarkable career. This timeline came about because I've always wondered what she would her presence would have done in the 1960s.
Obviously her death in 1962 is butterflied.
New York, Late 1950s
John and Robert sat both of them looking at the charts. John was trailing ahead slightly nut it was clear that Nixon was looking ahead. Robert poured a glass of stout Bourbon.
" Even if I run how would it look Robert? " He asked. " Nixon's been a vice president for a decade...
