"Forever Mankind"

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

1) Good timeline
2) What about your Ross Perot timeline?
3) What's the point of having both "Election What-Ifs" and "Alternate History"?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

This is really interesting. To me, the seventies, with all that went on with the Cold War, Nixon, detente, stagflation, and all the rest, can seem like a really interesting decade, especially in this timeline (Three Republican Presidents in only two terms!). Anyway, too bad Reagan lost twice. I'm hoping for a Jack Kemp or Barry Goldwater Jr. Revolution soon

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

This is a great time line, but I've noticed an inconsistency. In the "Chronicles of Hate" which takes place roughly around 1973, you have George Bush being a Senator, while much later, between 1980 and 1984, George Bush is the Deputy Speaker of the House. This was probably an oversight on your part.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Will this be updated soon? And what about the Ross Perot timeline, which I bumped two weeks ago?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Bump...Update soon?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Finally! YEAH! An update! Kemp/Paul 1984!

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Barry Jr!

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Sorry about the long delay but Part 15 will be up on either Monday or Tuesday. It has a pillar of the whole plot(The Chinese Democratic Revolution) and I'm wondering of splitting it into a 15.0 and a 15.5 parts to cover foreign affairs and domestic affairs in detail.

Yeah!

By the way, why is this called "Forever Mankind"? Does it have something to do with what you mentioned about China? And, sorry for bugging you like this, but what's the status of you Ross Perot TL?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Awesome update! I'm a big fan of Thornburough's cabinet. Do you have an entire list of the cabinet?

Sorry it took so long. Here is the possible working cabinet for Thornburgh.

State: Jeane Kirkpatrick (R-NY)
Treasury: Alan Greenspan (R-NY)
Defense: Ronald Reagan (R-CA)
Attorney General: Sandra Day O'Connor (R-AZ)
Interior: Walter Hickel (R-AK)
Agriculture: Bob Dole (R-KS)
Commerce: Jack Kemp (R-NY)
Labor: Ann McLaughlin (R-NY)
Health and Human Services: Gerald Ford (R-MI)
Housing and Urban Development: Jesse Jackson Sr (D-IL)
Transportation: Neil Goldschmidt (D-OR)
Environment and Energy: James Schlesinger (R-NY)
Education: William Westmoreland (AI-SC)
Chief of Staff: Howard Baker (R-TN)
UN Ambassador: John Eisenhower (R-PA)

Thanks. It looks like a pretty good cabinet all around, at least for the main positions. Hoping for an update soon!

While waiting for an update, I have a couple questions:

How long was Agnew actually President?

How is the country handling three Presidential assassinations in less than twenty years?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Just a small nitpick, but...
Since Barry Jr. was a Congressman in 1984, I'm guessing he didn't run for Senate in 1982, right?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I love your reference to Watchmen! Awesome! As a former comic book geek, I'm wondering the name of "Rorschach" in the series. From what I know, I think "Who killed the peacemaker was slated to become the original title of Watchmen.

I hope Thorn gets re-elected. It'll be interesting to see a primary battle between, most likely, Goldwater, Kemp, and an establishment candidate, most likely Bush or Dole.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been terribly sick and sadly still am. To this degree, I sadly will not be updating until I get to feeling better.

Well I hope you get better soon and it's not too bad. This is one of my favorite timelines on the forum.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Bump. The last update was a little less than 20 days ago, I think.

Yeah sorry about that. I was sick, now I have a major case of writer's block. I have all these idea's for the TL, but when I sit down to type them out they just don't flow.

Yeah, I've had that.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Bump/ Still got writer's block?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Bump/ Still got writer's block?

Big time. I could use some help, but I don't know how or from who though.

I dont' know if it's worth anything, but I'd be willing to help.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

An update! Hopefully more will come soon.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Glad it's back. Hoping for the 1988 election next.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

NOOOOO!!!!! Well, hopefully Republicans will be back in four years with former Commerce Secretary Jack Kemp.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

What I like is how that people you might have never had of have a chance at being President in this timeline, and you make it seem completely plausible.

Thanks! Well when you think about it, people probably wouldn't have suspected someone like Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan of becoming President at a time in history. I just do the same thing to different people, different circumstances mean different presidents afterall and I can tell you there will be some suprises in the presidents to come.

Well, I have my own personal hopes for certain Presidents, but I'll see where you lead.

Part 5: The Chronicles of Division
 Hatfield would reopen dialogue at the Paris Peace Accords, booting the Agnewite Secretary of State and replacing him with Henry Kissinger.

This is from a while back, but who was Agnew's Secretary of State?

I love the new advertisement!
