45. Hillary Rodham Clinton 2017-2021

Is unable to achieve much domestically due to gridlock and her presidency is largely focused on foreign policy with US troops deployed to Syria and a ratcheted up bombing campaign against ISIS in Iraq. Is forced to deal with an increasingly bellicose Israel thanks to Netenyahu's becoming more emboldened following his victory in 2015. Israel attacks Iran and Iran launches cruise missiles at Tel Aviv. Europe is also growing increasingly xenophobic with a National Front government in France attempting to impose harsh anti-muslim laws and scattered terrorist attacks in Berlin, Paris and London. Shortly before the 2018 midterm elections which see slight Republican gains Ruth Bader Ginsberg dies. After several Republican filibusters in 2019 of her supreme court nominee she pushes through an unpopular recess appointment. The economy sets into a deep recession due to instability in Europe and the oil market and in 2020 Rand Paul, the runner-up from 2016 defeats Tom Cotton and Rob Portman in the GOP primaries and with former Michigan governor Rick Snyder as his running mate cruises to a landslide victory with the country in an isolationist mood, also runs to her left on civil liberties.

46. Rand Paul 2021-2025

Despite winning election largely on the basis of his anti-war and pro-Civil liberties stance Rand Paul realizes that with increased Republican majorities in both houses he first has to make moves which will appease the Republican base. In 2021 he successfully manages to slash taxes on all Americans, with the top bracket lowered to 15%, enacts a national right to work law and pushes to abolish the Department of Education. In 2022 with the economy having worsened and the Democratic base emboldened Democrats manage to take back both houses of congress. Sensing defeat Paul in his 2023 state of the union address attempts to reach out to civil libertarians in both parties to abolish the Patriot Act and reign in NSA spying. In the summer of 2023 the NSA Reform Act passes the senate, co-sponsored by Sheena Bellows (D)-Maine and Mike Lee (R)-Utah and Paul signs it in perhaps the biggest domestic accomplishment of his presidency.

47. Martin Heinrich 2025-2033

The junior senator from New Mexico manages to emerge as the dark horse candidate out of a crowded Democratic field in 2024, running largely on the issue of climate change. Many see him as a more charismatic version of Al Gore. Although Rand Paul's stance on civil liberties received praise from some on the left, most of the Democratic Party united against him for his staunchly conservative economic agenda, at the same time he was badly damaged by a primary challenge from Tom Cotton who much like Pat Buchanan in 1992 managed to channel the anger of many conservatives within the GOP. Cotton received strong support from both neocons and the christian right and won several southern primaries. With Julian Castro as his running mate Heinrich won by a fairly comfortable margin, attacking the GOP for being anti-science and promising to sign sweeping climate legislation into law and restore many of the programs that Republicans had cut.

This is a very good prediction except for Hillary's recess appointment to the Supreme Court. The GOP didn't even filibuster any of Obama's Supreme Court Nominees.

Rand Paul-He tries to go back to 1981-1989 Reagan Tax Rates(a 25-28% top tax rate) before Bush H.W. in 1990 reneged on his "No New Taxes Pledge". US Senate Dems block Paul's "Tax Reform" and say his "Tax Reform" is a gift to America's Wealthiest. Don't see a "National Right To Work Law" in his presidency either. I don't think Paul will abolish "The Department of Education" but I think he will somehow give states more leeway in Education Policy somehow and take away some of the Departments power. Again I don't know how will this work.

Good thinking. I'll keep that in mind as I've been thinking about expand ingot his into a timeline.
