You can't pick any non-nominated candidates, only candidates who the nominees for their parties each year (can include Indie candidates)

So I have a lot of stuff about Romney. Especially at the time in 2012, Obama seemed the better choice. Expanding on why I dislike Romney, he always came off as a weasel, opportunist, and generally sketchy in a way that I can understand and accept in the private sector, but not in government. The tying the dog to the roof of a car thing didn't help, and also my environment at the time sort of contributed to my disliking him because I focused on the bad stuff - I was in a high school that was 85% female and 60% black so you can imagine how unpopular Romney and the GOP were, I mostly heard bad stuff about the Republicans that year. Todd Akin's comments were a big one I remember. Another part of the reason I supported Obama was Obama. I was actually impressed with his performance in his first term. He wasn't nearly as bad as I expected him to be as President, I was definitely supportive of his foreign policy at the time (Bin Laden was a big deal) and I thought he handled the economy just as well as McCain would have. If I could have seen ahead into 2014-2015 I might not have supported his foreign policy as much, but at the time I thought he was good on that issue. Another thing that put me off was the behavior of a lot of Romney supporters. I felt like the Republicans in 2012 started to embrace that sort of toxic behavior that eventually morphed into the alt-right and had been simmering since Palin was the VP nominee in 2008. I highly disapproved of the GOP exploitation of what I consider dog-whistle politics during the 2012 campaign, the message seemed to be more focused on division rather than unity. I'm not blaming Romney for it, I feel most of the blame there lies with others in the GOP who were so desperate to win they'd embrace any group, no matter how bad. That said, I definitely would have supported Romney over Trump or Clinton in 2016. Title: Re: How would you have voted, 1900-2016?

I guess I would have had minor doubts in 1932, 1940, 1944, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2008 but I'm pretty sure I'd have voted Republican in those elections too.

Kerry 2008: Barack Obama 2012: Barack Obama 2016: Donald J. Trump I'm not 100% sure this is what i would have done, but i assume i would have been a loyal voter for the Socialist Party, despite Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt being good candidates. I'm not sure whether i would have been convinced to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 already. It would have depended on the exact nature of the campaign and what my life would have been exactly. In 1968, i could have voted for Nixon. I think i would be an anti-Vietnam war activist, and Nixon was pretty moderate, even quite liberal for a Republican (i assume?). Of course i'm not a big fan of what he has done later on (Watergate Scandal), but back than i might've gone for Nixon. Not a big fan of Mondale, but 1984 would have been an anti-Reagan vote. In 1992 and 1996 i could have went for Perot but I don't know. It would have depended on whether i would've liked Bill Clinton back than. Now i obviously don't, but back than that might've been different. And i could have went for Perot as a third party protest vote (dissatisfied with the two-party system). But i'm not sure about that. In 2000 i'm also not 100% sure whether i would have went for Nader or Al Gore, but if his name recognition was high enough for me, i probably would have went for Nader, and at this stage right now (if i had to vote for 2000 American presidential elections tomorrow, i would have went for Nader), even if i lived in Florida. (assuming i wouldn't have known the result, and even than, it wouldn't have made a difference) I'm not a (big) fan of Donald Trump as well, but I remember well that i did prefer Trump over Clinton during the crucial stage of the 2016 election, but it might have depended on the state i'd live in. I think I probably would have voted for Trump, assuming that Trump wouldn't have won, and assuming he would have been a different president than he is now (at one point, he said that he was going to be a president for the working class), while his policies on trade and foreign policies were also issues that mattered to me, while i was very angry with the Democratic establishment (for rigging their primaries), and the media environment of 2016 (which was all biased towards Clinton, both during the primaries and the generals). My opinion on Trump still changes basically every day, but he has something no other Republican has. I know Trump is morally not the person who's best fit to be a president, and that he doesn't have the temperament, and i might regret "supporting" him now, as he turned out to be more conservative than i assumed, but back on election day, i remember that i was stunned, amazed and happy with the election result. Clinton and the Democratic establishment seemed to be very arrogant during the campaign, and *everyone* had to be in favour of her, because she was a woman or because the opponent was terrible, and that basically pushed me towards Trump. Also, i hate political dynasties and the fact that the election looked to be like it was going to be Jeb Bush against Hillary Clinton for a long time, has pushed me towards an outsider.

Richard Nixonin 1960, because I'm not the biggest fan of JFK and didn't like that he wanted to cut taxes and wasn't too found of his foreign policy and I would not have been a fan of selecting LBJ as his running mate without hindsight but I'm not a fan of Nixon either and wouldn't have been convinced he'd cooperate with a left leaning, or Gerald Ford in 1976, because I don't really mind Ford and liked his position on campaign finance reform, but being in the same party as Watergate and his dumping of Rockfeller for someone more conservative, I would have gone for Carter in the end. The most likely perceived scenario that could have gotten me to vote Republican was 2000 if McCain had gotten the GOP nomination and he was up against someone who I didn't like on the Dem side (say had Bob Kerrey had been the nominee). I may have voted GOP if Rockfeller had gotten the nomination in 1968 against someone like Scoop Jackson (who of course did not run) and likely would have had he gotten the nomination in 1960 against JFK. You don’t like Reagan? I don't. I would have found Reagan very frightening in 1980, and Carter at least was good on the foreign policy front, and in general, like Mondale as a whole. Now to be fair, there are aspects of Reagan that I prefer to today; I think he was more of a genuine conservative, and not blindly backed by corporate interests like I'd say, and he was willing to work with more conservative factions of the other party. Just to be clear, I'm not a full on socialist and am fairly moderate on social issues but I do tend to agree with left factions of my party on many economic issues (healthcare, education, unions, regulation of banks, credit cards, payday loans, and industries like that) of which Reagan is no match for, considering his tax policies that freed up too much capital to the wealthy and his firing of striking air traffic controllers.

I was 15 years old in 1972, and as politically aware as some of our younger posters here. I was quite liberal, and I grew up in a home where my mother and grandmother were Democrats and Nixon was the enemy. I was also very much against the Vietnam War and I believed that Nixon was dragging it out. The war had been going on for so long in 1972 that many of my graduating class wondered if this thing was ever going to end, and whether or not we'd be fighting there. That thought was a bit alarmist, but in 1972, the war in Vietnam had been going on since 1965. I was accustomed to seeing weekly reports of over 1,000 Americans killed in a weak of fighting many weeks. The older brother of a kid down the street was a long-held POW by the North Vietnamese, and older teens sweated out their draft status. McGovern promised to end the war. He'd do the one thing I cared about the most; much of the rest was up in the air, as I wasn't anti-military and I was somewhat conservative for a Democrat on many issues even then. I also had a sense of partisanship, and I believed Democrats ought to vote for Democrats if they believed in the party and wanted its objectives to be advanced. As I was once that way, I'm not going to be critical of people who are hyper-partisan. I was that way once. Obviously, I'm not that way anymore. I've also come to believe, over time, that the McGovern-Fraser commission did more damage to the party with its reforms than anyone could calculate; they cost the Democrats their status as the majority party, as much as anything else.

I have come to see Lincoln as perhaps our greatest President; the burdens he bore were equalled POSSIBLY by FDR, who did not have the sort of civil war and national division Lincoln faced. At one time I would have favored Horation Seymour and Samuel Tilden in 1868 and 1876. Nowadays, I believe that to be a mistake; Seymour was one of Lincoln's most steadfast opponents during the Civil War and it is likely that if Tilden had been elected, the deal made with Wade Hampton to end Reconstruction would have been even worse for blacks, and for the North in general. I have come to regard Grant as an unfairly maligned President; not the failure he has been made out to be. I have come to regard Cleveland as a scumbag, a rich man's President who treated women like crap. Benjamin Harrison was not a good President, but I would prefer him to Cleveland; I would have even preferred Blaine to Cleveland, and Blaine was a scumbag as well. I like William Jennings Bryan, but I would have voted for McKinley; he was a progressive Republican and rightly considered The First Modern President. He is grievously underrated by historians, and would be ranked as one of the 10 best Presidents had he not been assassinated less than a year into his second term.

You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you won’t even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep.” "Did the Zionists have the legal or moral right to invade Arab Palestine, uproot its Arab citizens from their homes and seize all Arab property for themselves just based on the "religious" claim that their forefathers lived there thousands of years ago? Only a thousand years ago the Moors lived in Spain. Would this give the Moors of today the legal and moral right to invade the Iberian Peninsula, drive out its Spanish citizens, and then set up a new Moroccan nation … where Spain used to be, as the European zionists have done to our Arab brothers and sisters in Palestine?..." "You trust them (white Americans), and I don't. You studied what he wanted you to learn about him in schools. I studied him in the streets and in prison, where you see the truth." "It's impossible for a white person to believe in capitalism and not believe in racism. You can't have capitalism without racism." Title: Re: How would you have voted, 1900-2016?

Trump I'm not 100% sure this is what i would have done, but i assume i would have been a loyal voter for the Socialist Party, despite Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt being good candidates. I'm not sure whether i would have been convinced to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 already. It would have depended on the exact nature of the campaign and what my life would have been exactly. In 1968, i could have voted for Nixon. I think i would be an anti-Vietnam war activist, and Nixon was pretty moderate, even quite liberal for a Republican (i assume?). Of course i'm not a big fan of what he has done later on (Watergate Scandal), but back than i might've gone for Nixon. Not a big fan of Mondale, but 1984 would have been an anti-Reagan vote. In 1992 and 1996 i could have went for Perot but I don't know. It would have depended on whether i would've liked Bill Clinton back than. Now i obviously don't, but back than that might've been different. And i could have went for Perot as a third party protest vote (dissatisfied with the two-party system). But i'm not sure about that. In 2000 i'm also not 100% sure whether i would have went for Nader or Al Gore, but if his name recognition was high enough for me, i probably would have went for Nader, and at this stage right now (if i had to vote for 2000 American presidential elections tomorrow, i would have went for Nader), even if i lived in Florida. (assuming i wouldn't have known the result, and even than, it wouldn't have made a difference) I'm not a (big) fan of Donald Trump as well, but I remember well that i did prefer Trump over Clinton during the crucial stage of the 2016 election, but it might have depended on the state i'd live in. I think I probably would have voted for Trump, assuming that Trump wouldn't have won, and assuming he would have been a different president than he is now (at one point, he said that he was going to be a president for the working class), while his policies on trade and foreign policies were also issues that mattered to me, while i was very angry with the Democratic establishment (for rigging their primaries), and the media environment of 2016 (which was all biased towards Clinton, both during the primaries and the generals). My opinion on Trump still changes basically every day, but he has something no other Republican has. I know Trump is morally not the person who's best fit to be a president, and that he doesn't have the temperament, and i might regret "supporting" him now, as he turned out to be more conservative than i assumed, but back on election day, i remember that i was stunned, amazed and happy with the election result. Clinton and the Democratic establishment seemed to be very arrogant during the campaign, and *everyone* had to be in favour of her, because she was a woman or because the opponent was terrible, and that basically pushed me towards Trump. Also, i hate political dynasties and the fact that the election looked to be like it was going to be Jeb Bush against Hillary Clinton for a long time, has pushed me towards an outsider. 1900: William Jennings Bryan 1904: Theodore Roosevelt 1908: William Jennings Bryan 1912: Theodore Roosevelt 1916: Woodrow Wilson 1920: Eugene V.

By not letting Roosevelt / Wilson and FDR win, and also not being economically interventionist/keynesian when needed, the USA would've never industrialized to the extent ITL and more importantly would've also been more isolationist, having less of a drive to participate in both world wars. I believe Germany easily would've won if it wasn't for the USA in the second world war. Since a lot of the early USA rocket engineers were all nazi's i assume the nazis would've won a cold war too against the US (esp. with your candidates being elected). All those brilliant rocket engineers would've still been nazis and would've easily wiped the US from the map in a cold war or beat them in a space race.
