    Twists and Turns: An Alternate 1952 and Beyond

    Ooh this should be intriguing. Also: I dont know who it is but I do know there is a timeline out there that has a celebrity running for governor of California. Biaggis involved too. (So sorry I just couldn’t resist plugging.)

    Freedom Dies in Darkness: The Story of the 1968 Election and Beyond

    A part of me thought to somehow butterfly it into a tragedy. But then I thought... let Nixon have this one. Let him have it. It’s not going to get better so might as well keep it. Besides, a certain other leader in a certain other country, who also has his people against him, is probably going...

    Chapter 33: Trouble in paradise? Nixon was getting hot. Everything was beginning to fall into his place with two successful foreign trips and what seemed to be a good economy. It looked like things were beginning to turn around. “At this point, the early mistakes were fading away and I was...

    WI: Healthy FDR runs again in 1948, 52

    Ike only ran in OTL, because Robert Taft was the lead Republican and Ike wanted an internationalist policy. FDR wasn’t an isolationist so I think Ike may not be swayed to run leaving the second stringers to run. Taft would get swamped, Vandenberg would be dead, Dewey would be seen as a loser...

    Give Peace A Chance: The Presidency of Eugene McCarthy

    Nixon. Calling it. Don’t ask me how, but Nixon in ‘76. Considering how close the last election was and how it’ll probably only go more in favor of republicans, Nixon will have buyers remorse twice and will get a win. He also appeals to Wallace-ites making it close.

    Freedom Dies in Darkness: The Story of the 1968 Election and Beyond

    Yes but to be fair, Nixon will inevitably try to undermine Humphrey as his mandate grows and Nixon probably would try to get rid of Humphrey down the road. Humphrey is in essence, a figure head so while it is wrong, Nixon is not going to be any nicer.
