Hi all,

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but what would be needed in order to make William Jennings Bryan the Democratic nominee in 1912? Would he need to have foregone the 1908 nomination (and the defeat at Taft's hands) to make this possible? If so, who could have been the Dem's nominee in 1908?

Assuming Bryan gets the Nomination in 1912, who's his Running Mate?

Finally, what does a Bryan presidency from 1913-1917 (or 1921) look like, in comparrison to Wilson in OTL? He'd probably be more isolationist, but what other differences are we looking at here?

In 1916, is Hughes still the GOP nominee? and would Bryan be able to beat him, like Wilson did?
