Here We Go Again
1989-1997: George HW Bush / Bob Dole
1997-2001: Bernie Sanders /Joseph Biden
2001-2009: John McCain / George W Bush
2009-2013: George W Bush / Mitt Romney
2013-2021: Martin O'Malley / Mark Cuban
Basically the Carter-Reagan-Bush-Clinton cycle repeated, with Bernie Sanders (ITTL a Democratic Governor of Vermont) being the "nice guy outsider / not-outsider" candidate who ends up having a very lackluster presidency, leading to the McCain Revolution in the Noughts, McCain's VP (his strongest contender in the primary) goes on to be President for a term (I also thought it would be fun to have W take HW's place in this redo). Martin O'Malley is the centrist* Dem with a wealthy VP who ends up having to deal with an intensely hostile Congress starting after the 2014 elections (an ATL Tea Party / Republican Revolution).
I guess this means Greg Abbott becomes President in 2021 after narrowly defeating Evan McMullin in the primary and Mark Cuban in the general?
