I was just trying to look up images with politicians having food and that came up in my results, so I put it in there. I didn't find anything with White or Trebek though, so that's why it's just them without any food.

Dubya wins his 1978 congressional race, and the butterflies from that are enough to make the Reagan/Ford ticket happen. Not chosen as Vice President, H.W. instead finds a place in Reagan's cabinet, albeit missing out on Secretary of State. Dubya runs for the Senate in 1984, and come 1988 both Bush's are seen as potential presidential candidates, but the family instead opts to field Dubya, sensing his popularity within the party and a tiny bit worried about Bush Sr.’s lack of recent political experience. Bush wins against Gary Hart in a close election, but is assassinated in 1991.
H.W. finds himself back in cabinet shortly thereafter, finally being appointed Secretary of State by longtime friend Alan Simpson, though his time in office is brief as Simpson is defeated by Paul Tsongas in 1992. By 1996, though, the Democrats are in a tough spot following Tsongas' resignation and Bush's presidential aspirations haven't gone away, and he manages to win the nomination and the general election in part by seizing upon Dubya's legacy.

If it's still part of the US, shouldn't it be the State of California?
California just changed their official name as a symbolic measure. It doesn't actually signify a special political status, it is just a reminder of the old Republic of California before it was invaded by the United States.
What happened Idaho?
Just an extended Idaho that follows the Continental Divide further south.
If you plan to expand and have a good gameplan for your content then yeah you should
I'm glad you noticed lol.
Californios is a term to refer to the original settlers who lived in California, usually before California was annexed by the United States. Californianos refers to recent, mostly Mexican immigrants and their descendants. Californios also sometimes refer to the Hispanics that look white, although obviously this doesn't match well with the aforementioned definition.
A free state is something that I would cover at a later date, but the modern definition is minority majority state ruled by said minority. Its historical definition will be covered at a later date
Just a heads up, I am a former New Jerseyan
Might wanna move that over to the current politics thread.
Most recent and upcoming elections. Also anything that can cause a conversation on modern politics.
