Gary Hart's infidelities stay secret until September 1988, blowing up a race he was going to win and making him a hate figure for Democrats for throwing away an election they couldn't lose. Hart's scandal means that Bill Clinton's indiscretions aren't tolerated nearly as much and Paul Tsongas ultimately benefits the most from them. There were lots of questions about whether a guy who was last in the Senate eight years previously who nearly died of cancer is the best person to put up against a president who just won a war, but as the economy sunk and Perot withdrew his independent campaign, the polls tipped in Tsongas' favour. The new president is controversial with his party for his deficit-hawk tendencies and had poor relations with Democrats in congress. His increasingly erratic behaviour is eventually explained by his admission of his cancer returning, and he abruptly resigns on Christmas in 1995. President Graham is left with very little political capital, with terrible relations with House Speaker Trent Lott and mounting questions about his behaviour during his predecessor's illness- the word "cover-up" is thrown around by many. In a hail-mary pass, he made a Pennsylvania Senator the first female Vice President. It didn't work. McCain was initially extremely popular. He delegated most domestic policy to his Vice President. What sunk him ultimately was his intervention in the Kosovo, with questions of legality mounting over the NATO action which lacked the support of the UN and many European allies: Britain's John Smith and French President Balladur didn't enjoy good relations with the USA. A military confrontation with Russia in the region led to a Peace Summit in Berlin in which President Rutskoy was seen to gain the upper hand in what proved to be a humiliation for McCain.

Mickey Leland was initially an also-ran, but the frontrunners (Mary Landrieu, Evan Bayh, Jim Hunt) misread the mood of the Democratic rank-and-file that had been alienated by Tsongas' rightward shift- they wanted a President who would play Santa Claus. He wasn't supposed to beat McCain either, but a faltering and inept campaign and a quixotic, publicity-seeking third-party run by a man who all but said that he'd be okay with Leland as long as McCain was gone. Leland embraced healthcare reform, devoting his efforts to a "Medicare for All" bill that nearly faltered at the last minute and took immense pressure from the White House to pass- it ultimately drained Leland of the political capital to do anything else. EU integration seemed to be making NATO obsolete and America had little part in the Indian-Pakistani war of 2005. A mediocre second term with a mostly hostile congress strengthened the appeal of the governor of Utah, who was seen as the "greater of two goods" in his defeating the equally popular Joe Biden. But then the bottom fell out of the economy. The few financial regulations Leland was able to get through the Senate made the recession better than it could have been, but the fallout of Congress voting down a bailout for the Auto Industry really increased the suffering. Abroad, Chancellor Steinmeier and Chinese President Wu Yi orchestrating peace between India and Pakistan the solidified the impression that America was adrift and not in control of the world's future.

Anthony Weiner seemed like a man in control. His combative, populist rhetoric made many see him as the heir to Leland, even though he swiftly alienated many on Capitol Hill with his personality. Massive stimulus bills were pushed through, as well as rescue packages for the unemployed and homeless. But there was always a whiff of scandal to Weiner, which came to a head in 2015 with revelations that he'd been sexting female White House aides, quickly turning the presidency into an international joke. His Vice President openly suggested that Weiner resign, and he was heard to remark that putting the ex-First Lady and Massachusetts governor on the ticket was the worst mistake he'd made in his career. Apart from all the other ones. After a lot of intra-party chaos, President Weiner announced that he wasn't going to run for a second term, happy that his VP was too tarnished by infighting to succeed him. Many a Democrat lamented another shining star brining down the party because he couldn't keep it in his pants. 2016 came to be known as the "Year of the Woman", with two female outsiders taking the nominations of both major parties. The governor of South Dakota came out on top in the end, with her prairie charm being the ultimate antidote to her predecessor's short temper. Whether she can stop the Middle-East from blowing up now that Saddam Hussein has died, that's another story.

That is indeed a cyborg resurrected JFK, in case you were wondering.

The United States 2020 presidential election was the 59th quadrennial American presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020. The Plutocratic ticket of New York governor Charles K. Foster and attorney Robert P. Brooks defeated the Republicratic ticket of recently-resurrected John F. Kennedy and senator Cory Booker.
The National Anti-Socialist Party continued its meteoric rise to largest third party, capturing almost 2% of the vote.
The primary issues were foreign policy in the Second Cold War, with Foster advocating rapprochement with China and Kennedy arguing for further action against Neudeutschland.

The United Kingdom general election of 2010 was held on Thursday, 6 May 2010. The first free and competitive election since 1970, the election was a heavy defeat for the incumbent National Government, marking an end to the liberalisation period and the transition to democracy that began under Roy Major. 34,341,180 voters, 75.4% of those registered, took part to elect 650 members of the British House of Commons. As was anticipated, no single party achieved the needed 326 seats to govern with an overall majority, with the Urban-Rural Party, led by David Cameron, returning with both the plurality of seats and votes. Following a month of intense talks, a coalition government was formed with the Left-wing Workers' Unity, led by John McDonnell, and the long-standing opposition group and syncretic Democratic List, led by Menzies Campbell. Long-time Democratic List MP, lecturer of economics at Glasgow University, and political dissident Gordon Brown was invited to lead the coalition government, serving as Prime Minister until the coalition collapsed and a General Election was called in 2013.
