On top of that powell would also pick up alot of mainstream moderate voters who would tend to vote either way. He would lose the stealth liberal votes and stealth conservative votes. However given the choice conservatives would either tepidly vote for him mainly to vote against the opposition...
Powell would most likely wins the presidential election. I think he had the popularity enough to unseat clinton.
the next question is what would Powell do as president and would he get reelected in 2000? if so how does he handle 9/11.
bush is at a weak point that any democratic candidate would defeat bush. in fact if bush was forced in to a republican primary i seriously doubt he makes it out of the primary.
Let's say that JQA wins the presidency without the 'corrupt bargain'. Sure Jackson bitches and moans but doesn't have the impact that he did in OTL and fades into obscurity. Without Jackson and the Jacksonians to singlehandedly destroy his presidency, how would a more successfull JQA fared had...
Given the fact we turned two Japanese cities into parking lots in OTL, there's no question Hitler would have done the same thing. HItler was an insane man, that was his downfall. That said, I believe he would not hesitate nuking Russia, England or the US if he could even with the possibility...
thats right, imagine being in math class and your first problem is this:
V + III - X = ?
what if the Roman Numerals never gets replaced by the Arabic Numerals we use today? Would another system come about? What butterflies get created when we get to the information age? Would we adapt to...

William Henry Harrison
Zachary Taylor
Abraham Lincoln
James Garfield
William McKinley
Warren G. Harding

John F. Kennedy

The question to you is this:
What if the listed presidents fulfilled...
lets say the Sherman Anti-Trust law was a failed bill in congress and monopolies were permitted to proliferate like Standard Oil, what would have been the effect of a monopoly dominated US.
Tilden running for a second term and being successful against either Garfield or Cleveland would depend on how successfull his first term runs. I'd be interested in how Tilden would deal with the labor issues then. Though i do think that Tilden probably becomes a single termed president.
oh, I was reading it as a modern day prohibition. Even for then you would need a pretty heavy fisted leadership that would deny the will of the people and impose an uber-prohibition.
To pull this off you would either need an extreme RW Theocratic leader(no bush don't count), you would need an all around facist leader to do it or have Osama Bin Laden take over the country. In our current state of politics it's totally ASB, you would need a facist leader of some sorts to make...
Ford had Nixon and Watergate which was a major albatross at the time which really made him vulnerable even in the primary.
ok how about this. Reagan upsets Ford in the primaries, then upsets Carter in the Election. How would a Reagan administration have dealt with the events of 76-80 and...
whats interesting about the Hayes/Tildon election is that in many ways resembles the 2000 election with Gore/Bush. Like Gore, Tildon won the Popular vote, and like Bush, Hayes wins the electoral college. Obviously BUsh had the Supreme Court and Hayes and Tildon made a back door deal in which...
in 76, Carter still probably wins. Like many said he doesn't have the baggage of Iran, Energy Crisis etc. However the Republicans did have the baggage of Nixon and was starting to drift a wee bit to the left. So just about any Republican candidate was doomed in 76.
