This timeline is based off of an idea I recently suggested in the "I've Seen America: Gore Wins 2008" timeline. We were discussing possible candidates who could run for President in 2016 and I asked whether or not a candidate similar to Donald Trump (no political experience, celebrity, eccentric personality) would run. I suggested that perhaps instead of a well-known male conservative celebrity running, perhaps a well-known female conservative celebrity could run. I remember that Elisabeth Hasselback of Survivor and The View fame was rather conservative and narrowly qualified for the age limit to be President (she was 37 in 2015), so I considered creating a timeline where she runs as a reactionary, anti-establishment conservative newcomer candidate.
June 14th, 2015: Despite widespread rumors, business mogul Donald Trump confirms he will not be running for President in the 2016. "I need to continue focusing on my business", Trump claims in an interview from last week.
June 15th, 2015: In a move that surprises everyone, former Survivor contestant and The View commentator Elisabeth Hasselback announces her intention to run for President. "Having been a political commentator for over a decade now, I see how endangered America truly is", Hasselback states during her announcement speech. "I intend to right the wrongs that have been gradually getting larger and bring back the prosperity this country strongly deserves! In short, I will rebuild the America of yesterday, to bring a better America for tomorrow!"
June 17th, 2015: The reaction on social media to the news of Hasselback's campaign announcement is riotous. "The tribe has spoken for America", one particular twitter user and Survivor fan states.
