Al Gore had a fallout with Joe Lieberman after the 2003 debate on whether or not to go to Iraq. Eventually Lieberman was kicked out of the ticket. Lieberman then ran as a reformist with Senator John McCain. This led to both Democratic and Republican votes being siphoned off, but more Gore votes than Engler.
John Engler was seen as a promising president after 12 years of Democratic years, but he was assassinated in Seattle, Washington by a mentally disabled man. This led to a debate about whether or not gun control is necessary. The 2006 midterms led to a Democratic victory. Eventually, a background check law was passed by a veto proof majority in 2007.
The stress made Bob Riley decide not to run in 2008. Vice President John Kasich easily won the primaries and defeated Governor Baldacci and Former Governor Ventura.
Kasich's administration was rocky. The economy went south and a mass shooting in San Francisco, California was carried out by an Al-Qaeda member killed 49 people.
Senator Hillary Clinton won a 4% victory over President Kasich. However, Clinton would have to deal with the same gridlock that Kasich and Riley did. In 2014 the Republicans winning the House and tying the Senate (48 Republicans, 48 Democrats, 4 Reformists).
In 2016 President Clinton lost to Governor Dewhurst. Dewhurst was already an old man, and the Democratic senate which happened after the 2018 midterms didn't help. Dewhurst refused to run after a stroke in 2019.
His Vice President, Charlie Baker, was pro-choice and pro-gay marriage. Baker had a rough primary, which led to a contested convention with Ted Cruz. Baker won out in the end, and Cruz ran under the Values party banner, bringing the Values party of Texas into the national state.
The Democrats nominated actor and Left wing populist Sean Penn, much to the dismay of the establishment. Sean Penn had a rough campaigning, giving his opponents nicknames. Sean Penn won a narrow victory, losing the popular vote to Baker.
Now America does not know what will happen under President Penn. While some were relieved under Vice President Justice, Justice looks like he will die any second, which leads to some think that Penn will pick his second choice: Tulsi Gabbard...
