With no PoDs prior to 1975, how can somebody be elected to the Presidency on a platform drawn from Paleoconservatism or, failing that, rise to the presidency by way of the vice-presidency? Yes, said somebody is probably going to be Pat Buchanan, but I am curious if someone else could qualify.

Please note: This is an AH discussion. Anyone looking to debate the meaning of the ideological term in question, and how it may or may not differ from OTL present day political movements, please direct your comments here (linked thread is in Chat). Thank you.
