McCain’s Campaign

McCain’s Campaign

McCain had initially planned on announcing his candidacy and beginning active campaigning on April 6, 1999. There was to be a four-day roadshow, whose first day would symbolically begin at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, then see early primary states New Hampshire and South Carolina, before concluding in home Phoenix, Arizona with a big audience, marching bands, and thousands of balloons.

However, the Kosovo War intervened. On March 24, the NATO bombing campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia began. McCain had voted the day against the approval for the Clinton administration's action.

The Future President MCCain would later say when he met President Miriam of the Philippines in 2001 that he was inspired of the Neutrality of the President Miriam Defensor Santiago of the Philippines in her affairs and the strength of her character that is why he chose to fight against the campaign of Clinton and he knew that approving the plan would imperil his candidacy, he would affirm that 13 as the start of his own campaign as his own lucky number.

On April 13, McCain simply issued a statement without fanfare that he would be a candidate: "While now is not the time for the celebratory tour I had planned, I am a candidate for president and I will formally kick off my campaign at a more appropriate time." McCain and his wife Cindy would make some campaign-related appearances over the spring and summer.

McCain's co-authored, best-selling family memoir, Faith of My Fathers, published in August 1999, helped promote the new start of his campaign. The book garnered largely positive reviews, and McCain went on a 15-city book tour during September. The tour's success and the book's high sales led to the themes of the memoir, which included McCain talking more about his Vietnam prisoner-of-war experience than he had in the past, becoming a major part of McCain's campaign messaging.

McCain finally formally announced his candidacy on September 27, 1999 before a thousand people in Greeley Park in Nashua, New Hampshire, saying "It is because I owe America more than she has ever owed me that I am a candidate for president to the United States." He further said he was staging "a fight to take our government back from the power brokers and special interests and return it to the people and the noble cause of freedom it was created to serve." As originally planned, he began his announcement day with a visit to the Naval Academy.

Due to the Strength of Character he shown he would defeat his own rival Bush in March 7, 2000 and he would be selected as the candidate of the Republican Party, he would hire the Hispanophile rival George W. Bush as the Ambassador of the United States to Spain on his own second term.

The Continuity of the Bubble

The Continuity of the Bubble

On January 20, 2001 John MCCain would be sworn in, he would defeat his rivals Bush and Al Gore, he would have inherited the DotCom Bubble that started in Clinton Era, the Asian Economies would be affected by the Dotcom bubble due to the cooperation of Miriam Defensor Santiago and Bill Clinton, Miriam Defensor Santiago would have caused the Dotcom Bubble to expand and caused the economies that are in recession in the early 90s to recover in the late 90’s and early 00’s.

The Dotcom bubble would have continued to 2004 and spread to other countries and even if it bursted in 2004 the world would have completely recovered from the recession in the early 90’s in 2004.

Miriam Defensor Santiago would imprison her predecessor Fidel V. Ramos and his VP Joseph Estrada on year 2001 due to their corruption which would cause some upheaval and Edgardo Angara would be against the imprisonment.

Windows Longhorn

On 2001, Windows XP would have premiered which would be known as a good OS followed by Windows. Net Server and Longhorn which is known as Windows XP Second Edition which would have been a step before Windows BlackComb or Windows 2006.


The fact that Microsoft made good planning in Longhorn made the OS a good OS and still used in 2009 alongside Windows 2006.

All Out War
B004E28D-4389-4A85-AFCE-F09C5C3D776F.jpeg


All Out War

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) which broke away in 1977, had signed a ceasefire agreement and begun talks with the Philippine government in 1997 after the MNLF affirmed the 1996 Final Peace Agreement. The MILF, however, ultimately rejected the 1996 Final Peace Agreement as inadequate, reiterating a demand for a "Bangsamoro Islamic State", and not just simple political autonomy.

The MILF continued recruiting additional members, increasing its armaments and fortifying its camps. It also began assuming territories of its own within the Philippine Republic and took on the role of government in control of these territories. The MILF taxed the residents of these areas and an armed wing, which it called the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces, secured the perimeter of its camps. Prior to April 2000, the MILF had been allowed to operate approximately 50 camps that were off limits to government soldiers. When the MILF finally broke off peace talks, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine Army in particular, began attacking and destroying these camps one after the other.

The administration of Philippine President Miriam Defensor Santiago advocated a hardline stance against the MILF, directing the Armed Forces of the Philippines to "go all out" against the MILF on 21 March 2000, after the secessionist group invaded the town of Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte and took hundreds of residents hostage.




Operation Terminal Velocity, the final phase of the military campaign to reassert Philippine sovereignty over the areas occupied by the MILF, proved successful after Camp Abubakar, the "center of gravity" of the MILF organization, was captured in early July 2000.

The campaign may have been successful from a military viewpoint, however, various authors have pointed out that the bulk of the MILF's manpower survived the clashes with the government forces and later began to re-establish camps and recruit more members; the MILF "lived to fight another day". Furthermore, the concentration of government military assets towards the Mindanao area siphoned off manpower and equipment from the Luzon and Visayas island groups, providing the communist rebellion an opportunity to assert itself.

The 2000 Mindanao campaign against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front cost the Philippine government Php 6 billion, approximately USD 126 million at the September 2016 exchange rate, however President Miriam Defensor Santiago would continue in her campaign and she declared a martial law in Mindanao in August 2000 which she would lift in the following year due to the imprisonment of her predecessor Fidel Ramos on January 2001.

The End of the term of the Iron Lady

On Early 2004, after a tense three way race between Rodrigo Duterte, Gloria Arroyo and Edgardo Angarra would end up in favor of the V.P. Edgardo Angara, who claimed his win as the 14th president on May 2004 elections, his win would shock Miriam Defensor Santiago who would step down on the end of June 2004, after she left the Malacanang, John Mccain, the current president of America would meet the new President of the Philippines, Edgardo Angara, it was shocking because Edgardo Angara would also free the enemies of Miriam Defensor Santiago, Joseph Ejercito Estrada and Fidel Valdez Ramos who Miriam imprisoned on mere months after he became president.
 
note
I would tell what are the divergences in this TL

>Hillary in this TL runs as a Republican Senator in 2004 and becomes an ally of Dick Cheney who causes her to shift parties another reason why this happen is due to JFK jr surviving and becoming a senator, HRC and Cheney are allies in OTL but in this TL they are more of allies not having a love-hate relationship.

>Trump remains a democrat in this TL.
