  2. TLIAW: The Search for a Successor

    This was never intended to be the most expansive and sweeping TL. Just a small little project that I hoped you liked. I’ve got some more ideas for what may happen down the road, so there might be a successor TL some time in the future. Maybe. I’m not sure yet. I have a specific man in mind, but...

  7. TLIAW: The Search for a Successor

    Haha, yes, 1924 IOTL is probably a good comparison for the 1912 DNC ITTL, although also keep in mind the number of ballots at the 1912 DNC IOTL was considering a lot and that was about half the number of ballots it took the DNC ITTL.

The progressives are still smarting about the Attorney General, but...
