31. In the upset of the century, Senator Robert LaFollette would win the Presidency on his Progressive ticket.
32. After the death of the first Progressive President only months into his term, Vice-President Wheeler would be sworn in.
33. The country's first Catholic President, Smith would win in a minor upset facing a strong Republican ticket made up of Herbert Hoover and Henry Ford and the Progressives, who had been weakened by economic decline.
34. former President Coolidge would make a rebound by doing what he had failed to do twelve years earlier and win election in his own rite.
35. The curse of Tippecanoe would strike again as Coolidge wouldn't live out his third term. Vice-President Vandenberg would be sworn in.
36. Son of a Progressive hero, the Progressives had nominated their strongest ticket in decades and were able to once again win the Presidency.
37. Famous war hero Joe Kennedy Jr., son of Smith Commerce Secretary Joe Kennedy, would become the second Catholic President, sworn in on the twentieth anniversary of Smith leaving office.
39. The nation's first female President, she would be one of the most popular in history until a fatal assassination attempt would strike her down.
41. President Jackson would be killed by an aneurysm in early 1982 and Vice-President Bobby Kennedy, the brother of one of the most popular Presidents in history, would take the reins. For Vice-President, in order to ensure "complete and total victory" come 1984, Republican former Georgia Governor Martin Luther King Jr. would be chosen. This combination defeated the Progressives by crushing margins in 1984, winning all fifty states plus DC.
42. Kennedy's popularity would not carry over to the party's next nominee, Lloyd Bentsen as a large lead in the polls would be slowly chipped away at by an insurgent Republican ticket and a hard-working Progressive ticket. Eventually, the election would be called for Mondale, against the odds. Mondale would famously hold up a newspaper claiming "Bentsen Wins!".
45. Despite the Progressives being rumored to be in decline, Nader would prove just as hard-working as Mondale and would, with the taking of California, win the election.
46. Famous actor Sylvester Stallone, a well known Catholic Democrat who ahd served one term as Governor of California (1999-2003), would be elected by a comfortable margin and re-elected by a larger margin.
47. The first President not born in the United States, Schwarzennegger was legally allowed to run because of a constitutional amendment passed during the secodn LaFollette Administration. He had served as California Governor from 2003 to 2011. At his acceptance speech, he would recall back in 1968 "when the Presidential debates were going on. I had a friend who could speak English and he translated one of the debates. Humphrey seemed to be talking about Communism, the government I had just come from. Margaret Chase Smith on the other hand was talking about capitalism, the reason I came to this country and the reason I am here today!"

And, by the way, on my LaFollette in 1924 list, I copied off of you on MLK being a Republican and on Nader winning in 2000.

The Rise of Progressivism
This is a timeline I'm working on on another forum, though I haven't updated in a while due to the amount of time I put into individual updates. The point of divergence is obvious, Theodore Roosevelt winning as a Progressive in 1912.  It somewhat mirrors Mechaman's election of 1920 timeline, but I didn't intend for that to happen and have completely different plans for it than authoritarian Republican vs. Libertarian Democrat, which is what Mech's TL seems to be shaping up to be.

28. Theodore Roosevelt (P-NY)/Hiram Johnson (P-CA) March 4th, 1913-March 4th, 1921
29. Joseph T Robinson (D-AR)/Alfred E Smith (D-NY) March 4th, 1913-March 15th, 1923
30. Alfred E Smith (D-NY)/vacant, Charles W Bryan (D-NE) March 15th, 1923-?

These are the election maps with popular vote, which I did not include in the actual timeline. Actually seeing the margins down south, it now seems unrealistic that TR could capture the popular vote, but I'll stick with the original totals.

1912

Former President Theodore Roosevelt (P-NY)/Governor Hiram Johnson (P-CA) 276 electoral votes, 38.7% of the popular vote
Governor Woodrow Wilson (D-NJ)/Governor Thomas R Marshall (D-IN) 251 electoral votes, 36.2% of the popular vote
President William Howard Taft (R-OH)/Nicholas Murray Butler (R-NY) 4 electoral votes, 22.3% of the popular vote
Eugene V Debbs (S-IN)/Mayor Emil Seidel (S-WI) 2.2% of the popular vote

1916

President Theodore Roosevelt (P-NY)/Vice-President Hiram Johnson (P-CA) 303 electoral votes, 40.2% of the popular vote
House Speaker Beauchamp "Champ" Clark (D-MO)/DNC Chairman William F McComb (D-NY) 189 electoral votes, 33.5% of th epopular vote
Former Vice-President Charles W Fairbanks (R-IN)/Senator Warren G Harding (R-OH) 39 elecotral votes, 25.2% of the popular vote

1920

Senator Joseph T Robinson (D-AR)/Governor Alfred E Smith (D-NY) 277 electoral votes, 36.3% of the popular vote
Associate Justice William S Kenyon (P-IA)/Labor Secretary Franklin D Roosevelt (P-NY) 168 electoral votes, 32.7% of the popular vote
Senator Howard Sutherland (R-WV)/Former Senator John W Weeks (R-MA) 86 electoral votes, 30.2% of the popular vote
Others (Socialist, Prohoibition, etc.) 0 electoral votes, .8% of the popular vote

1924

President Alfred E Smith (D-NY)/Governor Charles W Bryan (D-NE) 276 electoral votes, 36.2% of the popular vote
Senate Majority Leader Robert P LaFollette (P-WI)/Former War Secretary Leonard Wood (P-NH) 184 electoral votes, 32.8% of the popular vote
Senator James Phalen (C-CA)/Former Commerce Secretary Henry Ford (C-MI) 67 electoral votes, 19.3% of the popular vote
Senator Smith W Brookhart (R-IA)/Congressman Theodore E Burton (R-OH) 4 electoral votes, 11.2% of the popular vote
Others (Socialist, Prohibition, etc.) 0 electoral votes, .5% of the popular vote

Well, I wouldn't exactly call Al Smith's campaign "libertarian" due to some of his more liberal stances (support of a minimal wage namely), but the point is that it is a counter "Republican progressive" ticket.  In other words Smith follows more along the lines of Democratic Liberalism of that era (ie opposition to imperialism and protectionism) that just happens to have some traditional American conservative sympathies.
And I wouldn't call the above a copy of my TL, considering that in 1912 TR runs as Republican as opposed to a Progressive.

[1]Bryan's VP Arthur Sewall dies early in his term, and is never replaced.
[2]Robert LaFollette lived longer than 1925 in this timeline. He instead dies in 1935.
[3]The Great Depression doesn't stat until 1933.
[4]Roosevelt ran for three terms, but died in 1945, early in his third. James Cox became president.

NOTE: In 1910, Roosevelt's Progressives overtake most if not all of the Republican party's left-leaning members, and the Democrats continue to be on the right of the American political spectrum. The Republican Party is still around, but never returns to prominence
