The Republican race is really competitive. It will be really interesting.

The conventional wisdom in late 1967 was that there would be a brokered Republican convention. Either Time or Newsweek had a cover story on a Rockefeller Reagan ticket. I think such a ticket would win in 1968. If we see the same spread of primaries as we did OTL, Reagan primaries Rockefeller in...

Bush is seen as a moderate. i think Kemp would be his running mate.

As I showed in my timeline in some ways, American firepower and total dominance coupled with the fact that Cuba wouldn't have any way to refresh it's supplies for a war effort, the Cuban guerrilla movement would only continue in an organized way for maybe 3 years maximum. At least that's the...

Vice President Kasich would be expected to run for president in 2008 and would.

Rockefeller would still have the determined opposition of the conservatives. Romney would still make his brain washed gaffe. So it will probably be a lesser known Repulican like Rhodes.

The POD here is that during the 1960 presidential campaign Richard Nixon does not campaign in all 50 states. Instead he spends extra time in Missouri, Illinois and New Jersey and wins their 56 electoral votes and the White House. I think Nixon would send air support at the Bay of Pigs. Does he...

China is more important than Spain.

What if in 1950 Truman had ordered that US /UN forces to stop at the 38th parallel. We would have had a statement. The North Koreans would have suffered under US bombing and would have eventually agreed to a cease fire. When would the war have ended? Does anything else change?

The Iraq was a negative for bush in 2004. Terrorism was his big issue. ITTL he still has that going for him. i say he wins by a wider margin,

He engages the Soviets more. There is an earlier IMF Treaty.

How about Lin Biao's coup is successful. There is no opening of relations with the US.

Maybe because as president he would be under more intensive press scrutiny, the child molestation will become public knowledge 13 years sooner.

9/11 has happened less than a year ago, so Guliani would be helped by that. Pataki was also one of the top Bush VP choices, and was vetted for the position. Am I the only AHer who has met a social conservative? The religious right would be very angry, if President Cheney picked a pro choice...

Of course with Cheney's health problems that could be President Thompson.

The Second Korean War should be a quick easy victory. That should give time for President Cheney time to plan a war in Iraq.

He could 't have picked Giulani or Pataki. Their views on abortion would have angered much of the Republican base.

3) Would the Germans offer the Spanish everything they could ever want to come in? All of Morocco, part of Algeria, a slice of Southern France. OTL Vichy considerations had to come in, not so here. Interesting that could happen. 4) The German occupation of France could be far more brutal than...

I don't see how this changes the lineup of presidents.

On June 16, 1940, the French government decided to continue the war from exile in Algeria. The French military was ordered to evacuate the country. On September 9, 1940, the defeated French and their Commonwealth allies scored a victory when the forced Italy to surrender Libya. Hitler decided...
