President Jerry Brown?

This is sort of inspired by A World of Laughter, A World Of Tears, and Flight of Fate but I'm curious about the what if's regarding Jerry Brown becoming President. So I've got a few questions...

When would be the best time for him to get the Democratic Nomination?
When would be the best time for him to be elected president?
What would his Presidency look like?

just curious...
 
1976 if Carter hadn't appeared on the scene.

1980 maybe, if Carter had lost to Ford in 1976, but the nomination woud have been a slugfest with Ted Kennedy.

1984 if Carter lost in 1976, Kennedy lost in 1980, then the Democrats would be very divided and demoralized, not having won a presidential race in twenty years.

Beyond that, too many butterfiles to be sure.
 
I think the most plausible Jerry Brown presidency would have been a win in '76. By 1980 he was too far "out there".
