A friend of mine's brother was a big volunteer for her campaign on the hopes of getting a job with her in Washington, and after the campaign he never heard anything from her office.

That's unfortunate. Next TL, I'll make sure she doesn't get past the primaries. :p

That was really the only time I did that. Every other time, I just picked who I thought would be a good general election pair/sounded interesting.
What's interesting is if you just google 'Hillary Clinton Vice president', you get three recurring names: Evan Bayh, Tom Vilsack, and Wesley Clark.

Funny that.

If you don't like my list, that's fine. You don't have to be rude.
Do understand the point I'm getting at; I'm not trying to discourage you, but instead point out that fairly quick research that can help the list greatly. Not saying crawl through books and write a dissertation, or do a million footnotes (though they do help), but it's just the little and blatant things like Clinton's VP being a man who at that point was seen as scumbag No.1 in the press instead of the ones she considered IoTL that sticks out like the sorest of thumbs and lets it down.

Bump for Trump - or how to love the Donald in ten simple years.

Trump embarks on his little pet projects with 'guidance' from Bannon as the moderating influences of Kushner and Priebus don't effect the administration. Deportations are ramped up beyond Obama levels and the travel ban is stretched out for a full nine months. Tensions with Iran mount, but as they are friends with Putin, Trump and Flynn back down on the matter while renegotiating sanctions on the Russian Federation. ISIS policy is one of greater co-operation with the Russians, and eventually, the 'caliphate' is forcibly dissolved due to long standing disorganizational issues and carpet bombing raids. Nevertheless, Trump takes full credit for the victory as well as short term growth to win re-election in 2020, aided by a split on the Democratic side as billionaire Mark Zuckerberg funds an independent candidacy by Sheryl Sandberg that attempts to bring Silicon Valley ideology to the mainstream. Down ballot Republicans are hampered after good progress in 2018, losing control of the senate to the Democrats, who promise to play by the McConnell rule book in the post-filibuster congress. The economy finally comes to a halt in 2021, reeling from mismanagement and fluctuations from the notoriously precarious Trump. The assassination of Mike Pence while on a state visit to Hong Kong triggers a series of events leading to the eruption of World War 3. China and America fight while Putin sells weapons to Trump's troops. It is mostly a conventional war, with the exception of the attempted dirty bombing of Seoul by North Korean forces, due to bombing of nuclear plants by both sides. Trump lets Pence's martyrdom to push through even harsher measures on border security, dramatically increasing funding for the ATF and deploying the National Guard along the Mexican border. The place is deemed a 'Warzone' as Trump accuses Chinese spies of entering the U.S. intelligence agencies. Trump also attempts to use NASA satellites to monitor Chinese naval activity, something that does little and is really a waste of money. The internet comes under fire as well with a bill aiming to close IPs failing to pass congress around election time (the NSA's 'subversive individuals' list does not meet such scrutiny). Many of these initiatives are backed up by Kris Kobach, who fails to make the ticket in 2024 but is given back his old job of Secretary of Homeland Security in the third term.

In a rider to a bill allocating ten thousand dollars worth of transport funds to D.C. Metro in 2021, John Q. Farr-Right (R-TX) introduced an amendment allowing presidents to run for a third term 'during times of war and national crisis'. This allows Trump to run for a third term to huge decrying from all sides. Limited success in the war sees him written off for good, but incompetence in the Democratic camp furthered by Zuckerberg's NCfC party. He scrapes by in the electoral college even as his rust belt abandons him in the aftermath of further industrial decline. A terrorist attack on the Keystone Pipeline might have helped Trump's chances in addition to making the case for constructing a wall on the Canadian border. In the middle of his term, after overseeing ten years of dramatic change in American society, Trump keels over at the Oval Office desk and is sent to the Great Hotel Lobby in the Sky. Flynn oversees the conclusion of World War 3 and the attempt to patch up relations with nations overseas. He is ultimately the Lamest of Lame Ducks and not even Zuckerberg's dubious reputation is enough to overcome the huge polling gap. The 2028 election was a wash for the united fronts of the NCfC as well as the Democrats, who decided to let Zuckerberg go with a slightly more unconventional choice for VP in the North Carolina Governor.

if this thread has thought me anything is that this needs more Tulsa Gabbard
 
Clearly what we need is an ASB Timeline featuring an election between Woodrow Wilson/ Tulsi Gabbard and Donald Trump / Donald Rumsfeld.
Then watch as the biggest flame war in history erupts.

Footnotes will be up eventually, but the general premise is that George McGovern is the exact political opposite of himself in OTL — instead of being a hardcore New Left liberal who supposedly supports "acid, amnesty, and abortion", Senator (and eventually President) McGovern is now a hardcore Reagan-esque conservative that is stereotypically portrayed as a supporter of "power, persecution, and the police state". He'd probably also be praised by the modern GOP as a shining example of the modern conservative even though he would no doubt be cast down as a RINO by 2016's standards. There are also a few other OTL divergences in here as well, including a more left-leaning and centrist Howard Baker who never becomes a Tennessee Senator and instead co-founds TTL's equivalent to the Reform Party, and a variety of other small divergences.

[1] Trump has been killed in November 22, 2017 in US-Mexico border by a eagle who carried a brick who fall on Donald's head killing him immediately.
[2] President Pence died by unclarified causes in February 16, 2018, but many theories appoint for a death likely of French president Félix Faure in 1899.
[3] Paul Ryan, after sworn in, revealed a childhood dream: descend the Niagara Falls on a barrel. He made it, and passed in April 1, 2018
.
[4] 84-years-old President Hatch made a self-criticism saying what needed an "update" and started to found memes. After this, he (along Senators McConnell, Graham and McCain) asked if they are real villain. They said "technically not". After try to teach they to be villain, President Hatch was launched by a cannon and perished in July 25, 2018.
[5] SoS under his late four presidents, Tillerson tried to govern, but after a poisoned Pepsi drink, he gone crazy thinking de facto, he was a Tyrannosaurus rex. He was declared incapacited in October 31, 2018.

[6] Same saying dozen of times of his non-envolvement with Klan, President Scalise's body was found burned in New Orleans in June 6, 2019 along with a white strange clothes.
[7] Former Secretary of Energy and Governor of Texas, Rick Perry sworn as VP two months before Scalise's death, but, unlucky as he is, Lucifer had come to Earth in night of September 7, 2019 and took his soul after bet with him if he knew the name of three departments that would be extinguished by him the next day.
[8] The 80-years-old President Hoyer was controversial as Speaker, but gone crazy (not like Tillerson) in White House. He died after a drunkenness and drive the offical helicopter drunk thinking he was Santa Claus and crashed in the Capitol, causing minor damages on the structure in December 24, 2019.
[9] After 13 days as President, McConnell revealed his true face as the real Valeyard and started the Doom Era, closing the Congress and abolishing the Constitution of 1787. After intense months of battle, Colin Baker has join the Rebel Army and shooting Valeyard-McConnell with a shoe in his face, he was defeated in March 16, 2020.
[10] The reopened Congress approved the 28th (repealing the 25th) and 29th Amendment (Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment) putting Congress to elect, indirectly, a President in absence of a President and VP. So, unanimously, Colin Baker, hero of Second Civil War and the man who ended the Doom Era, has been elected president promising to lead USA to order until January 20, 2021. Unfortunately, after President Warren president drink party he drank carrot juice and died some hours after his departure of White House, appearing like in distress.
[11] After an intense battle in the still hot coals of Second Civil War, "Super Betty" has been elected 55th President against a boring, but the last leader, of GOP, Mitt Romney. Who'll happen after January 21, 2021? Who knows!

[5] Barack Obama is a Republican in this timeline after becoming inspired by how the second Goldwater administration turned the economy around.
