2016 - Republican Primary

Senator Goldwater of Washington
Congressman Maxwell of Louisiana
Government MadmanMotley of Indiana

The libertarian wing of the GOP uses the primary to assert its true, new-found dominance over the party by forcing the establishment, through a series of backroom deals and horsetrading, to choose between three candidates who each embrace a platform of what many call "free market economic values and tolerant social policies."  Thus, the lack of diversity on social and economic policies between the three candidates promptly shifts the focus of the debate to foreign policy.  Goldwater, being the only candidate of the three to rally for a more proactive United States military, becomes the default choice for establishment Republicans and foreign policy hawks alike.

However, the road to the nomination proves to be much harder for Goldwater than expected, with good campaign infrastructure yielded by both his opponents.  After taking heavy losses in Iowa and New Hampshire, the establishment blasts the airwaves with pro-Goldwater ads in a last-ditch effort to save the campaign.  The last-minute cash pour proves to be successful as Goldwater wins the majority of delegates by the skin of his teeth, defeating Maxwell and MadmanMotley, respectively.

1896

Gov. Scott Sunday (D-N.C.) 200
Senator Goldwater (R-Wash.) 243
Rep. "Madman" Motley (National Democrat-IN) 4

The nomination of evangelist-turned-politician Scott Sunday by the Democratic Party leads to a split within the organization (the Sunday candidacy had been backed by radical populists intent on transforming the Democratic Party into a vehicle for farm and labor interests), with prominent Democratic Congressman (and Mexican-War General 'Madman' Motley of Indiana) running on the National Democratic ticket in opposition to to the takeover of the Democrats by the left.

On the right, Washington Senator Goldwater easily wins the Republican nomination, and then the Presidency over a divided Democratic field.

VP Scott: 48.4%291
Governor Madman Motley: 47.9% 246
Socialist activist TNF: 3% 0
Incumbent VP Scott Gore is elected president but lost some Clinton states: KY, AR, TN, LA, WV because of TNF Nader, running as a populist gun nut candidate being strong in Appalachia. But Scott still carried Florida.

The Democratic primary results in a tough three way fight between incumbet vice-president Scott Sunday, Governor Winde Jammer of West Virginia and Representative Theophilus Narses Fulbrook (TNF) of Illinois. Sunday is moderately centre-left, but is able to reach out easily to the party's centrist wing. Jammer, a popular Governor, mixes a passion for social justice with moderate views on both foreign policy and moral matters, an attractive proposition for some in the Democratic base. Last and not least, TNF represents the radicals in the party base, desiring an end to foreign entanglements and instead a focus on social and economic justice at home, making redistribution of wealth and the expansion of the welfare state the two main themes of his platform. Whilst both TNF and Jammer win a number of contests, Sunday's backing by the party establishment (and popularity in his own right) are enough to put him over the top in terms of delegates.

1876:

This election, often considered one of the most controversial in American history, began with what could only be described as an incredible upset.  While many expected the Democrats to nominate reformist New York Governor Nickon "Sir Nick" Stark, one of the most influential Bourbon Democrats, history had other plans.  Although Tammany Hall had been obliterated, many Democratic machines in other states saw Governor "Sir Nick" Stark as a threat and eventually cast aside their ideology in a desperate attempt to stop him.  The machine-controlled delegations in states such as Nebraska, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey threw their support behind the insurgent candidacy of Indiana Governor Wilfred "Wind Jammer" Thompson.  Although "Wind Jammer" Thompson was quite left-wing on most economic issues, he shrewdly downplayed his economic progressivism and emphasized his social conservatism.  As a result, eastern party bosses such as James "hifly" Oxford (D-PA) and Zachariah "ZuWo" Williamson (D-IL) felt they could safely punish Governor "Sir Nick" Stark for his reformist ways without worrying about "Wind Jammer" Thompson actually winning the Presidency (since his social conservatism would likely cost him votes in critical Northern swing-states).  North Carolina Governor Scott "Beam me up" Roddenberry was nominated for Vice-President.  

The Republican convention was far less eventful and the party nominated nominated conservative Pennsylvania Governor Cassius "Clay" Morton for President and Congressman Phillip Seymour Cathcon for Vice-President (the latter being the first Catholic nominated for that office by a major party).  The social conservatism of the Democratic ticket also caused Congressman Thaddeus Nemoy "TNF" Funkhouser (D-KY) to run as a third party candidate on the "Equality Now" ticket.  Congressman "TNF" chose New York City Mayor Alfred F. Jones (D-NY) as his running-mate, prompting Senate Majority Leader John C. "JCL" Libertas (R-IN) to call him "the candidate of unions, ungodliness, and urbanization."  

Ultimately, the election came down to the wire.  Although the Republicans won most of the upper Midwest due to strong turnout from Catholic immigrants and carried narrowly carried New York and Illinois due to the presence of the Equality Now ticket, the Democratic ticket did better than expected in the upper South and the rural lower Midwest due to the tireless efforts of Governor Scott (whose campaign speeches effortlessly used religious imagery to powerfully convey populist political messages in a way that would not be seen again until William Jennings Bryan's 1896 campaign).  Additionally, Governor "Wind Jammer" Thompson carried the key swing-state of New Jersey and even narrowly won the popular vote.  However, the election would come down to Colorado which hadn't actually voted in the election.  Instead, the state constitution allowed the Colorado House of Representatives (in which Republicans held a two seat majority) to chose the three electors and thus the Republican ticket was elected.

Gov. Cassius "Clay" Morton (R-PA)/Rep. Phillip Seymour Cathcon (R-MI) - 46.00%, 185 electoral votes

Governor Wilfred "Wind Jammer" Thompson (D-IN)/Governor Scott "Beam me up" Roddenberry - 47.92%, 184 electoral votes

Congressman Thaddeus Nemoy "TNF" Funkhouser (D-KY)/NYC Mayor Alfred F. Jones (D-NY) - 6.08%

Unfortunately for President-elect Cassius, two days after the election, it was discovered that he was born in York, England and had forged an American birth certificate.  He was promptly impeached and replaced with Vice-President elect Phillip Seymour Cathcon.  Although President Cathcon's first term was never easy due to his clashes with Senate Majority Leader JCL and House Speaker Adam Griffindor (D-GA), the President's popularity did rebound due to the successful invasion of Canada which led to the acquisition of Ontario.  Many historians attribute President Cathcon's landslide re-election victory over Virginia Governor Ben "Mr. Moderate" Constine (D-VA) to the successful conquest of some of Canada's most valuable and populous lands.  See Cathcon, Phillip Seymour.

1980

President Windjammer (D-Mont) is under fire for his handling of the Iranian hostage crisis (he sent the Marines and asked questions later), the bad shape of the economy, and renewed Cold War relations with the Russians. Challenging him are Democrat turned independent X (who claims the administration is going TOO FAR in it's effort to rekindle the Cold War) and right-wing Congressman Cassius, who attacks the administration as being the pawn of unions and other liberal special interest groups.

Pres. Windjammer (D-Mont) / Vice Pres. Snowguy716 (D-Minn) 239
Congressman Cassius (R-Va) / Congressman JCL (R-Ind) 264
Fmr. Sen. X (I-Ohio) / Fmr. Atty. Gen. Ben Constine (I-Va) 35

The election is thrown to the House, which elects Windjammer President. The Republican Senate elects JCL Vice President.

1924

Popular president Cassius Coolidge wins reelection handily.
The Democratic, with some difficulties, finally nominated moderate Senator X from Tennessee. Too moderate for the left that allows popular Kentucky Governor to carry some states: MN, MI, WI, WV and KY.

Cassius: 54%
X: 29%
TNF: 18%

1912 - Pro-Probation Governor Windjammer wins in an electoral landslide!

Governor Windjammer (R-MT)/Senator DC Al Fine (R-IN) - 42.1%, 347 EV's
Former Senator X (D-OH)/Governor Scott (D-CT) - 34.6%, 144 EV's
Senator TNF (S-KY)/Former Congressman SWE (S-NY) - 22.5%, 40 EV's
Others - 0.8%

Former Probation party member and Republican Windjammer managed to win the election with a strong majority by uniting Republicans while keeping Democrats divided. Wealthy fundraisers in Jammer's camp secretely worked to keep TNF competitive, and TNF left the Democratic Party after being defeated by Former Senator X, running as a socialist with over 20% support. It was easy to see Windjammer's victory.

Strangely, TNF's candidacy was strong enough to defeat the Governor of Montana in his own home state in spite of his strong victory, and many point to the Governors controversial last two years in office, creating a sales tax in the state, causing his numbers to plummet and the citizens to look in favor at TNF's anti-sales tax pro-tariff tax reform.

As it turns out, the millionaires in the House of Representatives didn't take kindly to Senator TNF's rhetoric; Senator Goldwater was elected President of the United States in a landslide.

After four years, Senator Terrance Nelson Fitzgerald is ready for a rematch. This time, however, another candidate is thrown in the mix: Private citizen Benjamin Yves Shua. Criticizing President Barry Goldwater III's aggressive use of the military - particularly his choice to intervene in Syria and Ukraine - while taking a more moderate approach to economic and social issues than Senator TNF, Mr. Shua hopes to reach out to voters who feel turned off to the other two candidates.

Benjamin Yves Shua: 282 Electoral Votes
President Barry Goldwater III: 179 Electoral Votes
Senator Terrance Nelson Fitzgerald: 77 Electoral Votes

[Maxwell]

Former Union Leader and Kentucky Senator Teddy Frank managed to route his opponents at every turn, upsetting Minnesota Senator Brendan Tadd in Iowa, Governor Harry Fly in South Carolina, and Governor Benjamin Sawx in New Hampshire. He would easily take the Democratic nomination. Teddy Franks went his friend, Julian Oakvale, Supreme Court Assiociate Justice, to join his ticket.

The Republican nomination was a hard fight, but while frontrunners were picking states to do battle in, Congressman Ron Goldwater of Washington, grandson of Barry, picked up states in between, and built up his delegate lead into some real wins. He was noted by pundits as running the best campaign of the primary season, and upset larger contenders such as Michigan Senator Donald Cathcon and Rhode Island Governor John P. Winfield III. For his VP, he picked his challenger, John Winfield, and chose to challenge Teddy in liberal states.

President Maxwell's Secretary of Treasury Marshall O. Puckett saw the race and decided the battle of extremes was too much. He decided to run with Former Ohio Senator Malcolm Xavier, and together they managed to win a lot of support, not enough tow in, but enough to throw the election to Goldwater.

Congressman Ron Goldwater (R-WA)/Governor John P. Winfield III (R-RI) - 42.7%, 291 EV's
Senator Theodore Frank (D-KY)/Associate Justice Julian Oakvale (D-CA) - 39.6%, 237 EV's
Secretary of Treasury Marshall O. Puckett (I-MO)/Former Senator Malcom Xavier (I-OH) - 16.6%, 10 EV's
Others - 1.1%, 0 EV's

Republican Primary 2024:

The GOP primary of 2024 is mainly divided between two Libertarians and a moderate: Governor Marius Maxwell of Oklahoma, Senator Ike Goldwater of Washington and Senator Mitch O. Parley of Missouri. Parley wins most of the South and East, while the West mostly backs Goldwater and Maxwell wins some New England states and Hawaii due to a focus on social issues. This results to the nomination being awarded to the establishment backed Parley.

I want this thread to continue, but I was lats person to post here, so would bumping be frowned upon?

[White Trash]

Senator Sam Gotham (D-LA)/ Jim Webb (D-VA) 192 EVs
Senator Barry Goldwater Jr. (R-WA) / Rand Paul (R-KY) 180 EVs
Rep. Stephen "Spiral" Agnew (I-MO)/ Colin Powell (I-NY) 166 EVs

It's a mess. The West and the Plains go over for the GOP which also regains some of their ancestral foothold in New England. Representative Spiral Agnew runs a moderate independent campaign which sweeps the Midwest and parts of the West. Senator Sam Gotham becomes possessed by the ghost of Governor George Wallace and runs an old old ooooold school Democrat campaign and wins over Social Conservatives.  The South flips over for the Democratic party. Like I said, it's a mess.

Senator Barry Goldwater (L/R-WA) / Former Governor Rick Scott (R-FL) — 189 EV

Continued from above.  Incumbent President Goth narrowly wins reelection after he gets the US mired in a war with India in 2017.  His opponent is Representative Everett Greene of Massachusetts, a radical independent.  Greene decides to run third party, uniting with liberal democrats disenchanted with President Goths socially conservative policies.  Meanwhile, Goldwater, the libertarian nominee in 2016, wins the Republican nomination.  On election day, no single candidate wins a majority.

President B.E. Aver (I-VA) / Representative Colin Peterson (D-MN) --- 9 EVs/29%
Senator Noah S. Napoleon (R-NJ) / Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) --- 453 EVs/43%

Denied nomination by his own party, President Aver runs again as an independent due to his high approval ratings. The GOP, hungry for a win, nominates a moderate Senator from New Jersey. Although President Ever runs a spirited campaign, he is crushed when he finishes a distant second in most of the country - and a third on the East and West coasts.

1912:

Governor Theodore Beaver of Virginia wins in a landslide based on a split vote in the GOP base between the conservative AG King Poleon who forms an independent ticket in protest to the more progressive former DC Mayor Larry Derpist who won the party nomination.
