List of Alternate Presidents

[100% pro-life no matter what]

(This is just a random unrealistic scenario/though experiment I had about who would win each election if the running mates were the presidential candidates. Involves a large amount of assassinations and stuff in order to justify why certain winning candidates don't run for reelection.)

The Tournament of Second Bananas

Lyndon B. Johnson (D-TX/Hubert Humphrey (D-MN): 1961-1962[1]
Hubert Humphrey (D-MN)/Vacant: 1962-1965
Hubert Humphrey (D-MN)/Edmund Muskie (D-ME): 1965-1969
Spiro Agnew (R-MD)/Bob Dole (R-KS): 1969-1973[2]
Bob Dole (R-KS)/George H. W. Bush (R-TX): 1973-1981
Walter Mondale (D-MN)/Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY): 1981-1981[3]
Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY)/Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX): 1981-1989
Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX)/Al Gore (D-TN): 1989-1991[4]
Al Gore (D-TN)/Joe Lieberman (D-CT): 1991-2001
Dick Cheney(R-WY)/John McCain(R-AZ): 2001-2009
Joe Biden (D-DE)/Hillary Clinton(D-NY): 2009-2017

[1]Assassinated becasue... reasons...
[2]Resigns due to the same tax scandals as IRL
[3]Assassinated by John Hinckley Jr
[4]Another lazily written assassination

(The conclusion I've come to in this, is that Republican running mates usually suck. )

Bush would win in 1984

Quayle in 1988 and 1992 also

You can't be serious.

Yup I am serious.

I think Ryan would have beaten Biden in 2012

¹Died in office of natural causes
²Resigned to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and was sworn in one day later.

Only ones I like here.... JFK and Kemp. I see no anti-establishment conservatives besides the two of them. Looks like no Reagan Revolution, no rise of evangelicals,  left wing of GOP is stronger but conservatives have no place to go.

Kasich/Ryan is a pretty conservative ticket.

Kemp is more conservative by himself then the two of them.

Wasn't Kemp pretty pro-illegals? And as I recall, he had few problems with an unbalanced budget.

*The Great Recession began being foreshadowed in 2003. While the Gore-Smith Economic Reform Bill looked like it would pass, many credited VP Kerry's strong lobbying against it to its failure. Instead, the Carnahan-Wellstone Tax Reform and Economic Regulations Bill of 2004 passed, while Carnahan herself was absent after Wellstone and Dodd essentially took control of its amendments.
**The Gore-McCain-Wyden Reform Act of 2005, a modified version of the Gore-Smith ERB, was passed. Gingrich signed it, allowing Treasury Secretary Roger Ferguson, Jr., and Fed Reserve Chair Neel Kashkari to begin helping inflation go from -0.4% a year to 1.2% growth a year beginning in June 2007. Following that, a balanced budget was passed for fiscal years 2008-2009, and so on until 2012-2013.
