That's assuming Obama develops any kind of serious political ambition ITTL at all.
Sexists could make that claim about pretty much any woman in any situation. "She only succeeded because [some man] helped her along the way". People who say that are generally not worth listening to.
I would think that any TL where he's re-elected in 2004 involves him losing the popular vote, ironically enough. Republican resentment would be extremely high in 2008, and a fifth consecutive term of Democrats in the WH would be a near-impossibility. I'd guess that Hillary (and Obama, if he's in...
He's been a hell of an AG for Pres. Warren, but if he could only make third place in the 2012 primaries, I don't see him doing any better by running earlier.
I know America has loved throwing around the "global peace" line ever since the Treaty of Pyongyang, but can you please just call a...
Is it? There's that one famous timeline on here where Rummy was written like a comic book villain to make a point about how shitty neo-conservatism could be if taken to its extreme, but I don't know of any that treat him and his presidency realistically.
RFK's on the Supreme Court as of the mid-80s, as seen in the flashforward depicting Caroline's wedding and JFK's funeral.
Regardless of whether he wins or not, I predict Rumsfeld will at least become the GOP nominee at some point in the 80s or 90s.
Picard? Hmmm....
Phase II already had a non-white series lead, it seems like the next frontier would be a woman captain, no?
Dare I say... Gates McFadden? Diana Muldaur?
As for Sir Patrick, is he....
- The ship's barber, who takes on a Guinan-esque role of giving advice? [Fitting, since TNG...
As much as I would dislike his domestic agenda, Nixon becoming president during the wind-down of the Cold War wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen ITTL.
I can't find it right now, but I remember seeing a video of him in the early 1990s predicting the then-new Russian government was...
That's really not up to us to decide, is it?
I'm fairly sure President_Lincoln has insinuated that while things are generally more optimistic ITTL, it won't be smooth sailing the entire time.
Wasn't it implied that Nixon was also going to make a last-chance run at the presidency a few updates ago?
Oooooof, Ronnie. Prepare for the ratfucking of a lifetime.
Would be interesting if they canonized the theory that "James Bond" is a codename passed down by MI6.
TTL's equivalent to Goldeneye could have the new 007 going after the old 007, rather than 006. Play up the "Who's side are you on?" angle in the marketing.
The accident would be butterflied away, no? Construction on the plant didn't start until 1969 IOTL, so it might not have even been built ITTL. Even if it was, different people would be working at the plant and treating the machinery differently, meaning the odds of a meltdown are drastically...
