  1. How much of LBJ's 1964 success was a result of JFK's assassination?

    Basically what it says on the title. JFK was shot and killed in November 1963, and LBJ won over Goldwater in a 486/52 landslide just under a year later. But what if Kennedy's health took a nosedive earlier in autumn '63 (he was a very sick man, after all), and by the time Nov 22nd rolls...

  2. 1968 Republican primaries without Nixon

    Let's say that when Nixon gave his "last press conference" in 1962 and vowed to never run for office again, he meant it. Assuming butterflies are kept to a minimum over the following six years, who do you think is most likely to become the Republican nominee for president in 1968? Would that...

    A few years after leaving office in 2001, Clinton had a couple of fairly serious health issues: namely a quadruple bypass heart surgery in 2004, and a partially collapsed lung in 2005. Let's say butterflies make one of these scenarios take a turn for the worse and he winds up dying on the...

  5. WI: Joseph Kennedy is crippled instead of killed

    Out of the four Kennedy brothers, it's a known fact that Joseph, the oldest, was the one that was originally being groomed by their father to run for president one day - a plan that ended when Joe was killed in action in World War II. But what if he wasn't? What if he survived, but was injured...

  6. WI: Trump doesn't run for President

    What if The Donald never made an announcement last summer that he wanted to be POTUS? Assuming everyone else who entered the race also entered in this timeline, how would the GOP primaries have unfolded? Would the altered Republican race have effected the Democratic race at all? Who would be the...

  7. WI - Obama is killed at the 2008 Democratic National Convention?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_assassination_plot_in_Denver On August 28th 2008, Barack Obama became the Democratic presidential nominee for that year's election. A few days earlier, three men were arrested after threatening to assassinate him - the credibility of the threat was...
