Donald Trump / Chris Christie 2017-2025¹
Chris Christie / Carlos Lopez-Cantera 2025-2029³
Gina Raimondo / Stefany Shaheen 2029-2037⁴
Ivanka Trump / Ben Sasse 2037-2045⁶


Failed tickets:
2016: Hillary Clinton / Amy Klobuchar
2020: Amy Klobuchar / Kamala Harris²
2024: Tammy Duckworth / Chris Coons
2028: Chris Christie / Carlos Lopez-Cantera
         Ivanka Trump / Matt Bevin
2032: Paul Ryan / Ted Cruz⁵
2036: Stefany Shaheen / Baron Trump

¹ The charismatic, unconventional candidate picks an experienced moderate to balance the ticket, and they exploit the economic malaise and foreign policy crises to obtain a larger than expected victory over the uninspired Democratic ticket
² Ethical problems surrounding ethnic freshman Senator Harris combined with a recovery ensure another catastrophic defeat for the Democratic ticket, winning only DC and Minnesota, a state that never responded warmly toward the often confrontational Trump.
³ Christie strongly embraced Trump's policies to win a primary challenge from business-friendly Speaker Paul Ryan, then won another decisive victory over the underwhelming Tammy Duckworth.
⁴ Christie's perceived betrayal of Trump's policies leads to the former President's daughter running a third-party candidacy, which combined with the strong centrist appeal of the Democratic ticket and a gaffe-prone Vice-President leads to the Democratic recapture of the White House.
⁵ The Republican ticket after the disastrous 2028 election sought to mend the rift between the two factions by nominating a figure from each wing of the party. However, a series of unforced errors by the Ryan campaign leads to a narrow reelection victory for President Raimondo.
⁶ In the wake of racial strife and the breakout of major conflict in the Pacific, the nation turns to the daughter of a former President to restore normalcy and a humble foreign policy.

Eobard Thawne Changes Time Again, or I'm Watching Arrowverse TV Shows Too Much.

Unlike in Flash, Eobard Thawne ends up in 1990. He still kills Nora Allen, though Barry is already born and Joe West is blamed for Nora's murder rather than Henry Allen. Thawne not only takes Dr. Harrison Wells' identity, he runs for office as Wells in addition to being a scientist. Time otherwise goes undisturbed, though "Wells" becomes a Perot supporter in 1992, getting personally involved in the billionaire's campaign. Though Clinton still wins by the same margin, history soon diverts by 1996 as political changes happen too. Wells continues to make public political comments in this altered reality, but he focuses on solely scientific pursuits until 2006, when he is elected Mayor of Central City. He later runs for President as a Perot-styled Independent...

42. William Jefferson Clinton (D - AR)/Albert Gore, Jr. (D - TN): 1993 - 1997
43. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. (R - NJ)/Thomas Joseph Ridge (R - PA): 1997 - 2002 (1)
44. Thomas Joseph Ridge (R - PA)/Joe Wilson (R - SC): 2002 - 2009 (2)
45. Rod Blagoevich (D - IL)/Gary Locke (D - WA): 2009 - 2010 (3)
46. Gary Locke (D - WA)/Mike Michaud (D - ME): 2010-2013 (4)
47. Harrison Wells (I - MO)/Jesse Ventura (I - MN): 2013 - Present (5)

Scientific research has unsurprisingly been a top priority under the Wells Presidency. Shortly before the 2016 election year began, it was announced that the Particle Accelerator would be ready on December 2015 rather than in December of 2020. Increased federal funding has been a pivotal key in speeding up this revolutionary innovation. President Wells and Vice President Ventura will visit Wells' native Central City to view the Accelerator going online.

OOC Notes:

1. President Schwarzkopf mysteriously died in his sleep months after UFOs nearly crashed into and destroyed Gotham City, NYC, and the Pentagon. The FBI and Secret Service have never been able to pinpoint the cause of his death.
2. Vice President Ridge succeeded the deceased President Schwarzkopf. He chose Congressman Joe Wilson to become his VP.
3. After a year-long investigation, President Blagoevich was found guilty of conspiracy in voter fraud and intimidation in key swing states. He was impeached and convicted quickly afterwards.
4. Vice President Locke, who was found to be not involved in any crimes, succeeded President Blagoevich. He chose Congressman Mike Michaud to become the new VP.
5. I have no idea where Central City is supposed to be in the Arrowverse, but in DC Comics proper, it is currently in Missouri. Hence why I have Wells as hailing from Missouri.

Hamilton's Blunder

[/b]
Alexander Hamilton decides to sit out the 1788 presidential election, trusting the new Electoral College to choose the correct candidate (General George Washington) without his help. Instead, the absence of Hamilton's intrigue allows New York Governor George Clinton to win a narrow victory over Washington as consequence of the two-vote rule established under the Constitution.

Results of the 1788-89 Presidential Election
George Clinton (NY): 50 Electoral Votes
George Washington (VA): 49 Electoral Votes
John Adams (MA): 27 Electoral Votes
Others (Var): 38 Electoral Votes

38. Andrew Cuomo (Liberal) 2009-present

*Died in Office

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Basically put, Republicans tack to the "left" on immigration and whatnot while solidifying a reputation as tax cutters, free traders, and whatnot. This results in the parties not being substantially different, policy-wise, but with substantially shifted public personas.

40. David H. Koch (Republican-Kansas)/George H.W. Bush (Republican-Texas) 1981-1989
41. Walter Mondale (Democrat-Minnesota)/William J. "Bill" Clinton (D-AR) 1989-1997
42. John S. McCain III (Republican-Arizona)/John Ellis Bush (Republican-Florida) 1997-2005
43. John Ellis Bush (Republican-Florida)/Willard "Mitt" Romney (Republican-Massachusetts) 2005-2009
44. Donald J. Trump (Democrat-New York)/James H. "Jim" Webb Jr. (Democrat-Virginia) 2009-2017

The 2016 race is shaping up between Vice President Jim Webb (D-VA)/Former Governor Brian Schweitzer (D-MT) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)/Former Senator Joseph I. "Joe" Lieberman (R-CT). To win their respective primaries, Webb fended off challenges from Senator and former Second Lady Hillary Clinton (D-AR), Governor Barack Obama (D-IL), Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and former Secretary of Defense Zell Miller (D-GA); Senator Rubio, meanwhile, faced former Governor George W. Bush (R-TX), Senator Scott Brown (R-MA), Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice (R-CA).

2008

Businessman Donald J. "The Donald" Trump (Democrat-New York)/Senator James H. "Jim" Webb, Jr. (Democrat-Virginia) 346 electoral votes
President John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (Republican-Florida)/Vice President Willard M. "Mitt" Romney (Republican-Massachusetts) 192 electoral votes
Former Senator Lincoln Chafee (I-RI)/Former Senator Maurice "Mike" Gravel (I-AK) 0 electoral votes

2012

President Donald J. Trump (Democrat-New York)/Vice President James H. "Jim" Webb, Jr. (Democrat-Virginia) 378 electoral votes
Former Vice President Willard H. "Mitt" Romney (Republican-Massachusetts)/Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican-South Carolina) 160 electoral votes

Alternate Israeli Prime Ministers:

14th Prime Minister: Yair Lapid, Shinui: 2012-2015 * Loses
15th Prime Minister: Limor Livnat, Herut: 2015-Current

Best to Worst PM Performance:
1. David Ben-Gurion
2. Menachem Begin
3. Yitzhak Rabin
4. Haim Moshe-Shapira
5. Benjamin Netanyahu
6. Golda Meir
7. Yitzhak Shamir
8. Moshe Dayan
9. Benny Begin
10. Moshe Arens
11. Ehud Barak
12. Yair Lapid
13/14. Shimon Peres

Livnat not ranked.

1. Ben-Gurion leaves Mapai over electoral reform issues, just like in real life, but in this scenario his exit helps fellow Mapai-defector Moshe Dayan ascend to the Premiership
2. Alignment between Mapai, Mapam and Rafi is formed in 1968, after years in opposition or minor roles in government w/ NRP.
3. Alignment starts crumbling after the Yom Kippur War (Ben Gurion calls for Rafi to pull away months before his death in 1973; calls for separation are renewed after the war in 1974 by hawkish members such as Moshe Dayan)
4. Golda Meir's resignation intensifies rivalry between Rafi and Mapai factions of Alignment. Shimon Peres takes over and moves toward a dovish foreign policy. Rafi officially breaks away on November 25th 1974. Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, Amos Ben-Gurion (son of David) and Yitzhak Navon all become prominent supporters of Rafi. Shimon Peres and most of his cabinet identify with Mapai.
5. Rafi-Mapai schism allows for Herut, the right-wing party, to take over. Herut rules from 1974-1988
6. Mapai takes over in 1988 only to get obliterated in 1990. Going from 26 seats to 2 seats. Mapai folds in 1991 and Shimon Peres and his former party members join Rafi. Peres' career is over, essentially.
7. Yitzhak Rabin and Rafi elected in 1993. Peace Process occurs as in real life, but later in time. Rabin survives assassination attempt. Peace movement continues, but ultimately fails as Yasser Arafat proves he does not want peace. Rabin retires in 1998 as a well-respected figure, but with sagging numbers in the face of renewed Palestinian attacks on Israel.

*Assassinated after the first sentence of his inaugural address: "My fellow citizens, today I address you as the President of these United States." President Davis and Justice Taney rushed up to him (rather unwisely, as the gunman was still in the crowd) and, quickly realizing that he would not survive, administered the oath right then and there. Davis's address (he gave a more official speech later, which is the one in all the history books) was the shortest of any President's, at just four sentences: "Please do not be alarmed. I shall carry out the duties of the office of President, the office God has thrust upon me. I will execute the will of the people of the United States. Thank you, and may God keep us safe."

**Assassinated over his support for civil rights after his Populist party, which came to power in 1896 after slowly building influence among poor farmers (many hurt by the international sanctions) and the few free blacks there were, attempted to move for small-scale manumission of slaves. Under Watson and his successor, John Sharp Williams, violence both by against slaves and liberal whites rose to a fever pitch until war broke out in 1904.

***Assassinated (seeing a theme?) during the bloodiest months of the war, late 1910, by a black rebel. his successor, Coleman Livingston Blease, met the same fate five months later.

****Speaker Taft, widely seen as a moderate and a calming force, finally took the reigns after "the seven longest years in our nation's history," promising an end to the war and peace between blacks and whites. With broad support across party lines, he was able to secure freedom and limited civil rights, including the vote, for the ex-slaves and some monetary compensation for their lost property. He was and is widely hailed as one of history's great statesmen and reformers.

37. Howard Dean (Progressive-VT): January 4, 2011-present

*There were significant disputes about the 1842 election, especially since it occurred during the Common Rebellion, so Dorr and his opponent, Roger Sherman Baldwin, both swore themselves in on February 4. The Supreme Court ruled 3-2 that Rhode Island's Freemen's Constitution, enacted earlier in 1842, applied to that election and that the votes of non-property owners counted, officially electing Dorr. This was not settled until March, however.

**The first President since William A. Palmer not from either the Federalist or People's Party, Conkling was an old National machine man from the Union. Vice President George McClellan had been elected the previous time on the so-called "Victory Ticket" along with former Federalist Joshua Chamberlain, so the parties were naturally already close, and in 1872 Conkling and Gov. William B. Washburn (chosen to assuage the Eastern Federalists' fears of a Western, New York-based takeover of the political system) won on another unity ticket. The two parties later merged into the new Republican Party.

***Not only did President Reed's death present a conundrum for the New England government, having never faced a succession crisis like this before, it was magnified by the death of Vice President Garret Hobart three years earlier. With Speaker [some dude] quickly assuming the powers of the Presidency as an immediate lame duck, many were quick to call him "His Fraudulency" or "The 17.5th President of the Republic of New England," but he was able to solidify power with the Succession Act, naming the line of succession as President, VP, Speaker, President pro tempore of the Senate, and then the cabinet. A constitutional amendment soon passed shortened the lame duck period by a month, causing the President to be inaugurated on January 4.

****The bitter election of 2004, fought mainly over President Lieberman's invasion of Iraq, was the first one in the nation's history to be decided by the House of Representatives. Neither pro-war Republican Colin Powell, anti-war Howard Dean (running on the new Progressive Party), nor moderate, but cautiously pro-war Liberal John Kerry was able to capture a majority of the vote, with Powell eking out a surprise plurality, so it was sent to the Liberal-controlled House, which, Powell's endorsement of Kerry, elected the Massachusetts senator. Most historians would look back on this crucial moment as the death knell of the Republican Party and the beginning of the Fifth Party System.

2. Menachem Begin
3. Yitzhak Rabin
4. Haim Moshe-Shapira
5. Benjamin Netanyahu
6. Golda Meir
7. Yitzhak Shamir
8. Moshe Dayan
9. Benny Begin
10. Moshe Arens
11. Ehud Barak
12. Yair Lapid
13/14. Shimon Peres

Livnat not ranked.

1. Ben-Gurion leaves Mapai over electoral reform issues, just like in real life, but in this scenario his exit helps fellow Mapai-defector Moshe Dayan ascend to the Premiership
2. Alignment between Mapai, Mapam and Rafi is formed in 1968, after years in opposition or minor roles in government w/ NRP.
3. Alignment starts crumbling after the Yom Kippur War (Ben Gurion calls for Rafi to pull away months before his death in 1973; calls for separation are renewed after the war in 1974 by hawkish members such as Moshe Dayan)
4. Golda Meir's resignation intensifies rivalry between Rafi and Mapai factions of Alignment. Shimon Peres takes over and moves toward a dovish foreign policy. Rafi officially breaks away on November 25th 1974. Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, Amos Ben-Gurion (son of David) and Yitzhak Navon all become prominent supporters of Rafi. Shimon Peres and most of his cabinet identify with Mapai.
5. Rafi-Mapai schism allows for Herut, the right-wing party, to take over. Herut rules from 1974-1988
6. Mapai takes over in 1988 only to get obliterated in 1990. Going from 26 seats to 2 seats. Mapai folds in 1991 and Shimon Peres and his former party members join Rafi. Peres' career is over, essentially.
7. Yitzhak Rabin and Rafi elected in 1993. Peace Process occurs as in real life, but later in time. Rabin survives assassination attempt. Peace movement continues, but ultimately fails as Yasser Arafat proves he does not want peace. Rabin retires in 1998 as a well-respected figure, but with sagging numbers in the face of renewed Palestinian attacks on Israel.

41. George H.W. Bush (R-TX)/vacant, Paul Laxalt (R-NV) 1981-1985
42. Walter Mondale (D-MN)/Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY) 1985-1993
43. William Jefferson Clinton (R-AR)/Judd Gregg (R-NH) 1993-2001
44. Judd Gregg (R-NH)/Carroll Campbell (R-SC) 2001-2005
45. John Edwards (D-NC)/John F. Kerry (D-MA) 2005-2009
46. Hillary Rodham Clinton (R-NY)/Barack Obama, Jr. (R-IL) 2009-Present

I find it hard to believe that Bill Clinton would switch to the GOP after the Gipper is assassinated in 1981.

Eh, that's not the real PoD. I was just looking for a post that positioned the GOP in a pretty weak spot prior to Clinton's rise. If I actually wanted to do a "Bill Clinton Republican" timeline, obviously the divergence would be far earlier. This was just to set up a situation wherein the rise of a charismatic moderate by 1992 was all but necessary for survival of the GOP.

Perhaps Ford is Nixon's original running-mate, becomes President in 1974 and remains a huge success to the end of 1980, but a Reagan-Dole administration's economic policy change and extremism, causes a mixture of the 1989-1991 recession and the 1982-1983 one from 1982 to 1985. John Glenn is probably the most popular a Democrat could be, IMO.
