Yeah, thanks. Vaguely inspired by another timeline called Apple Carts where basically Thurmond dies of a heart attack and Nixon has no political presence (took that part from The Third Coming of Nixon) and Alexander Haig becomes President.

Had to Google Franklin. Why didn't Franklin shoot Vernon Jordan ITTL?
Just simple butterflies. (EDIT: Maybe we could say that President Chisholm was meeting up with Vernon Jordan in Ft. Wayne when Franklin shot at them, and ITTL he missed Jordan while hitting Chisholm?)
Or maybe he could take out both of them since they're meeting together?
I changed the picture for FDR here because I just could not resist. He looks so much older here.😆

Dale Bumpers
Governor of Arkansas 1969-1973 [1]
U.S. Senator from Arkansas 1973-1977 [2]
President of the United States 1977-1985 [3]
[1] In OTL, Bumpers considered running for Governor in 1968, but decided to wait until 1970. In this timeline, he decides to run and beats Winthrop Rockefeller.
[2] Senator John McClellan was reportedly convinced in OTL that Bumpers was going to run against him, and Bumpers thought he could have won, and he was probably right considering the fact that then-Congressman David Pryor almost beat McClellan. However, he decided to wait until 1974 because he thought he needed to see through his reorganization of the executive branch, and he didn't feel he should run for the Senate after just one term for both moral and political reasons. Bumpers himself said that he always viewed the Governorship as a stepping stone to the Senate, he never really had an interest in being Governor, so in this timeline, with two terms under his belt, he decides to go for it.
[3] Bumpers had a lifelong dream of becoming President and in OTL, he didn't run in 1976 because he had only spent a few months in the Senate. David Pryor tried to persuade him to run for a third term as Governor in 1974 instead of for the Senate so he would be well positioned to run for President in 1976. In this timeline, Bumpers runs in 1976 because he has been in the Senate for two years. I honestly think Bumpers could have won had he run, he would have won by a bigger margin than Carter and likely would have been a better President.
