1944- FDR doesn't drop Wallace in favor of Truman. FDR dies on schedule. Wallace doesn't drop the bomb and the war continues past 45 into 46 or later with a large scale invasion of Japan costing thousands of lives. 1948 after a bitter fight, Wallace is renominated as the Democratic nominee...

a small minority population with nuclear weapons in fear of being over-run by a larger majority who they have been oppressing for years? That's a potential for major disaster

someone could try a Weekend at Rocky's?;)

Looks interesting. In 88 there were still moderate and even some liberal republicans. Not sure the country would be as willing to elect someone with no experience as the cold war was still happening.

Remember the tech bubble burst in 2000 before the election so Gore getting re-elected is far from certain. In OTL he wasn't blamed (even though he did invent the internet;)) but here if he took over as President and then the internet bubble burst he may get blamed

Perhaps if Hillary decided enough was enough and filed for divorce months before the election? Either that or you have to go for worse situation- pregnant Monica claims she was forced into an abortion?

In 83 I was 15yrs old living in Brooklyn NY. Dead:closedtongue:

Might butterfly away Bill's career also if he doesn't find as accepting a partner. If his wife bailed in 92 during the campaign when he came.under fire he probably doesn't survive it. If Bush 41 re-elected W might never run for governor or President. maybe he becomes baseball commissioner instead

Hard to envision a situation where a former us president applies for citizenship in the UK beyond total dystopia.... Lets say JFK is not assassinated but wounded. Unable to run in 64. Somehow LBJ loses to Goldwater or maybe LBJ was in Dallas as well that day and he dies. The 60's blow up into...

starting in 1990? with no tech/asb help? hard to see how its possible without radical mind shifts

Woodrow Wilson has his stoke years earlier during the campaign.and its too big and public to cover uo

Germany holds out long enough so that there are Nukes on both sides.

If he didn't declare as Republican in 95, if Gore had to step down as VP for some reason- maybe a health problem- Clinton could have considered Powell as VP. Would then clear the road for him as Dem nominee in 2000

Hard to see Clinton beating Bush. I mean the kinder gentler form of conservatism worked well and he handled Iraq and the Gulf War so well. Perot drained so many union voters who normally went democrats with his anti nafta positions

Have more of his secret tapes get released early. There was a time that the President would have been held accountable for his statements

a President vs Vice President race in 72 would be interesting and really ugly. I wonder if Nixon could convince Humphrey not to run for the sake of the country in return for something big. I could see Nixon willing to let Humphrey have significant input on Supreme Court or on some issue- maybe...

Not to throw a monkey wrench into things but... Both positions require confirmation by the Senate-- would the Senate confirm him for the sake of unity or would partisan politics sink it-- would the northern/liberal Democrats really have incentive to allow Nixon to take over and confirm Wallace...

Interesting. So Kennedy lived and Hunter stayed on as Captain. Curious to see where you take it. Not sure Hunter would be able to handle the comedic/campier aspects of Trek as well as Shatner. And Shatner- star of something else but what?

No chance of him getting elected. Only remote chance would be him somehow getting a cabinet spot way down that no one cares about and everyone above him on the succession list dies

With how divided we are these days can't happen now. historically some have come close..FOR . Nixon and Reagan so.....a little tweak could have done it
