I'm putting together a timeline with a different 2000s, but was wondering if Condi Rice was ever a serious Presidential candidate? Or if she wasn't what could make her become one? And how would such a candidacy or Presidency play out?
I am among those who believe the seed of Trump Presidency was planted back in 2008 with the Great Recesion. And the non-PC outsider becoming the president due to frustations and disappointments of voters was when, not if. But let's save that for a chat.Perhaps she could run in 2016 if she keeps herself relevant between 2009 and 2015. You could have her get elected as a Congresswoman in the 2010 US House of Representatives Elections to give her an electoral career. Even then, she would suffer the same fate as Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Jeb Bush in the 2016 Republican Party Presidential Primaries, due in part to Trump's populism resounding with Working Caucasian voters and her association with the Bush Administration.
Could I say that the weight of domestic issue counted against international issue at two-to-one ratio? If true, that would be too much for Rice to overcome.For the no domestic experience issue: she was probvost at Stanford, so that gives her a really, really good public finance background that most Presidential candidates lack. While this isn’t going to answer the question of domestic issues, she’d certainly be one of the most qualified Presidents ever from a public administration standpoint. It’s still the association with Iraq that will hurt her in an OTL candidacy.

I agree with that. Perhaps the same soil the seed was planted in became fertile in 2000. Although George W. Bush was part of the Republican establishment, he defeated McCain and Gore in part by arguing that both of them were D.C. insiders, while he ran from Austin.I am among those who believe the seed of Trump Presidency was planted back in 2008 with the Great Recesion.
