DBWI AHC: Prevent the rise of the Brotherhood Party in the USA

It has been nearly a month since the last President of the United States from the Brotherhood Party left office.

In its history, the Brotherhood party produced six US Presidents (including the last one) and controlled at least one house of Congress for a total of 12 nonconsecutive years. At its peak, there were as many as 14 state governors from the Brotherhood Party. Now, New Jersey has the only Brotherhood governor in the entire country.

What POD would have prevented the rise of the Brotherhood Party or at least prevented it from winning the White House?

Prevent the election of Hillary Clinton in 2016, or at least her re-election in 2020. It was her presidency, and the addition of the 52nd and 53rd states that directly led to the Brotherhood Party.
 
OOC: This should be moved to the future history.

IC: Simple, the Brotherhood is a centrist libertarian-progressive alliance that forms because of dissatisfaction with both parties. The thing that could have prevented their rise is if the Occupy Movement is butterflied away and Ron Paul's supporters were not mistreated during Tampa and he is allowed to "influence the platform". Furthermore Iraq and Afghanistan should not have taken this long and the economic crises should have been better handled.

Thus, had congress acted together and not "sold out" their bases, the Brotherhood party wouldn't have arisen.

OOC: I did not intend this as future history. I am retconning this to add that a POD should occur in the 20th century.
