THE KID WHO RAN FOR PRESIDENT

Based off the book "The Kid Who ran for president". I know that there is a sequel where the kid becomes president but I don't have that one so...

The 2000 election had Al Gore narrowly win over George Bush, but at the same time Ralph Nader's campaign in California cost Gore the popular vote. Buchanan had a Stein-esque role to play, as he attracted many Social Conservatives angered at Colin Powell

After a lot of feuds, Joe Lieberman was forced out of the Democratic ticket. Lieberman resigned and ran on the Reform party ticket. Gore was defeated by George White, a Moderate who was not too moderate.

White's presidency is average. The 2008 election looks to be boring until one kid from Wisconsin teams up with his former babysitter, who is also a 90 year old black woman. The 28th amendment allows people of all age to run for president. Moon narrowly wins, but his scathing "victory" speech made lead others to think otherwise. However, his friend and campaign manager, Lane Brainard, suggests that he should become president anyway (splits from the book where Brainard says that Moon is a better candidate than president)

Moon's administration lasts for a week until he and his vice president resigns. Before that, he ordered the airdropping of boxes of baseball cards on Iraqi villages.

Speaker of the House Bob Riley becomes president. He is seen as a caretaker. However, under his presidency the 29th amendment is passed where it allows kids to vote and to run for congress and other political offices. This leads to a "Lemonade Revolution" in the 2010 midterms, where they gained 90 house seats and 10 senate seats.

The 2012 election was a crazy one. For one thing, Arthur Krantz, the head of the Future lawyers of America club and in the words of President Moon "and just about every other dorky club" who also almost destroyed Moon's campaign for revealing that Moon stole and destroyed his term paper, managed to win the Lemonade primaries, but hook or by crook. This angers the "Moon" faction of the party, and former White House chief of staff Lane Brainard teams up with Judson Moon's girlfriend Abby Goldstein on a "Anti-Krantz" ticket. Brainard kept calling Krantz by his school nicknames: "Booger Boy" and "Smartie Pants Artie Krantz". The 2012 downballot races destroyed the Lemonade party

Pawlenty's presidency is also boring. However, the 30th amendment, passed in 2013 repealed that 29th and 28th amendment, which effectively killed the Lemonade party.

2016 was the first normal election for America since 2004, and the first two-party election since 1988. Elizabeth Warren got the vote of minorities, the working class and not too young people. Warren was the first Democratic president since Al Gore, and now it is time to return to normalcy under President Warren, Senate Majority leader John Cornyn and speaker of the House John Lewis.

Fred Derf is someone I made up because Krantz sits at the "Derf" table. "Derf" is Fred backwards and has nothing to do with Fred's last name. Hell, Fred does not even have a last name. Fred is barely even mentioned. I decided to make his running mate someone whom I assume is his friend: "Fred Derf".
