DeWitt Clinton was a former Democratic-Republican who got Federalist backing. I suppose you could go with someone like Susan Collins, or if you're going more economic-populist, Rick Perry, or something like that?America Redux

(Note: This is a list attempting to create parallels between the 1988-2020 elections and the 1788-1720 election. I understand that while this has a potential of happening, it is definitely not a plausible scenario)
It looks to be the initials of the various nominees, but in reverse order and with reversed parties. That said, at least two of them are off and I have no idea why 2016 has the initials for the nominees then OTL (plus Sanders and ...someone) when that bucks the trend, so I clearly haven't figured it all out yet.
@Asami: Naughty.
Ok guys as much as I like gimmick lists, I think some of them are getting a little out of hand. They shouldn't dominate the thread... they can be really good but, to be blunt, they can be disintersting at times...
EDIT: Also @Turquoise Blue stop producing such high quality content, you're showing the rest of us up
Aha you know what I mean - inproduce plenty of gimmick lists myself, but some of them have such ridiculous premises or are so lazily done that they give the genre a bad name. Third Parties Galore is really the ideal for the gimmick list, but almost none meet its standard.Third Parties Galore was a gimmick list.
Are you talking about one of them switching over to the Democratic Party?DeWitt Clinton was a former Democratic-Republican who got Federalist backing. I suppose you could go with someone like Susan Collins, or if you're going more economic-populist, Rick Perry, or something like that?
In my opinion, you should post your lists in a 'test thread' first and the ones that spark writing should be posted in here to show off some proper AH.I find the number of lists in this thread that don't have details to be... Disturbing.
