(D) Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)
(R) Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)
(R) George Bush (1989-1993)
(D) Bill Clinton (1993-1997)
(R) Clint Eastwood (1997-2005)
(R) John McCain (2005-2009)
(D) Barack Obama (2009-)

Clint Eastwood was Mayor of Carmel, California from 1986 to 1988. Had he run for Governor of California in 1990, he would have won and would have been set up perfectly to run, at the age of 66, for President in 1996.

31st (R) Herbert Hoover (1929-1933)
32nd (D) Franklin Roosevelt (1933-1945)
33rd (D) Harry Truman (1945-1949)
34th (R) Thomas Dewey (1949-1953)
35th (D) Harry Truman (1953-1969)
36th (R) George Romney (1969-1977)
37th (D) John Kennedy (1977-1981)
38th (R) George Bush (1981-1989)
39th (R) Howard Baker (1989-1997)
40th (D) Evan Bayh (1997-2005)
41st (R) Mitt Romney (2005-2009)
42nd (D) Joe Biden (2009-)

Truman loses to Dewey in 1948, but Dewey's unpopularity in 1952 makes him vulnurable in a re-match with Truman. Truman wins, and with the constitution amended during his Presidency, he is able to run in 1952, 1956, 1960 and 1964...serving through the majority of the 50s and 60s.

32nd (D) Franklin Roosevelt (1933-1945)
33rd (D) Harry Truman (1945-1953)
34th (R) Robert Taft (1953)
35th (R) Douglas MacArthur (1953-1961)
36th (R) Richard Nixon (1961-1969)
37th (D) Hubert Humphrey (1969-1977)
38th (R) Nelson Rockefeller (1977-1979)
39th (R) Ronald Reagan (1979-1989)
40th (D) Gary Hart (1989-1993)
41st (R) George H.W. Bush (1993-2001)
42nd (D) Joe Lieberman (2001-2009)
43rd (R) John McCain (2009-Present)

This assumes Robert Taft got the Republican Nomination in 1952, as he vowed to put General MacArthur on the ticket. Had he, and died in 1953, MacArthur would have become President of the United States. After President MacArthur's two terms, Senator Nixon of California wins the White House and holds it for eight years, followed by Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey.

In 1977, President Humphrey is succeeded by Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York. The Rockefeller/Reagan administration is shortlived, when President Rockefeller dies of a heart attack in 1979. Vice President Reagan becomes President, winning his own term in 1980 with George Bush on the ticket, and then Reagan wins his own re-election in 1984. In 1988, Vice President Bush loses narrowly to Senator Gary Hart of Colorado and despite reservations, rematches with Hart in 1992 to win a landslide against him. President Bush is then re-elected in 1996.

Joe Lieberman defeats Vice President Dick Cheney in one of the closest elections in 2000, serving from 2001 to 2009, suceeded by Arizona Senator John McCain.

George Bush/Dick Cheney (2001-2009)
John McCain/Sarah Palin (2009-2013)
Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine (2013-2017)
Sarah Palin/Mitt Romney (2017-2021)

I'm a big believer that a McCain victory against Obama in 2008 would have resulted in Hillary's election in 2012, since 4th terms are almost impossible. Thus setting up the Hillary vs. Sarah showdown in 2016.

Of course, that didn't happen. Now we have Trump and Cruz and Hillary and Bernie. Nice, huh?
