Iowa is Rubio Country

[America Needs R'hllor]

Don't make this a Republican-wank.

People are allowed to write Republican TLs just like they're allowed to write Democratic ones (which form the majority of the TLs written, mind you). It's your choice which ones to read.

Hmm.. I guess Marco winning Iowa butterflied so much that Netanyahu didn't get indicted

Marco Rubio's mere presence in our world is SO awesome and holy, he managed to not only make the middle east a democratic heaven, but also make Netanyahu be an actually decent person who's not corrupt throughout his ENTIRE LIFE!

Marco Rubio was such a powerful President he managed to defeat McCain's illness? Now that's what I call GREATNESS.

This timeline is incredibly unrealistic, having the president's party gain 11 seats in the Senate does not happen, no matter what. Also, Rubio wouldn't be so popular and be the beloved Washington/Lincoln you portray him as.

Rubio was labelled as the 2nd Ronald Reagan so why wouldn't he be that popular?

This Timeline is actually very close to the original Ronald Reagan Presidency and that is what UWS probably wants.

Ok, UWS sockpuppet, did Reagan ever gain 11 seats in the Senate in his midteem? No

Besides, Rubio is a slime and a boring, lying politician. He would actually lose to Hillary.

Actually Rubio wins because he does better among Hispanics than Trump, which helps him to win Colorado and Nevada. And the reason how he won Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Pennsylvania is that promised to promote free trade while cutting taxes on manufacturing industry in order to avoid job losses and to make free trade fairer for American workers. Rubio also won Pennsylvania by promising to end the War on Coal and to promote clean coal technology since Pennsylvania's is, for an important part, based on coal.

So this scenario is quite realistic.

THE PRESIDENT'S PARTY DOES NOT GAIN 11 SEATS IN THE SENATE IN A MIDTERM, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

And yet the Democrats had so many seats to defend in deeply conservative states like Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana and West Virginia. And the Republicans recruited several strong candidates in the toss-ups states like John Kasich in Ohio, Rick Scott in Florida, Susana Martinez in New Mexico, etc.

So don't lecture me about being realistic.

THE MAP DOES NOT MATTER, 11-SEAT PICKUP IN A PRESIDENT'S MIDTERM NEVER HAPPENS!!!

2-3 maybe, BUT NOT 11!!!

Don't sweat it. Yes, there's literally 0 realism here and honestly, the deep dedication to Rubio glorification is a bit creepy to me, but it's his timeline, free speech etc. If you don't particularly enjoy it, just don't read it thoroughly (just like I do).

UWS is well within his rights to go GAGA for rubio. y'all may not like it, but tough luck; he can do what he wants! is it excessive? yes; is it gratuitous? yes; is it gross fanfiction? yup. but leave UWS alone, if u dont like it dont read it!

Well said!

And I don't get it why people want UWS banned. Personally I think some of the Users who are conspiring against UWS are just been jealous of him because they don't have the creativity & detailness to create such a TL like he did. UWS gets consistently mobbed here on Atlas for no reason at all. And yes, it is harrassing.

It's definitly the most detailed TL I've read. UWS would be good creating any timeline Democratic or Republican because he has creativity others don't have.

There are plenty of good, detailed timelines out there that aren't tedious to read, like Between Two Majorities, Camelot Anew, the Romney Administration, and the Liberal Republic. UWS isn't some sort of TL god, and pretending he is is why people think you're his sock.

@NYE and MassGuy: I genuinely don't like this timeline for a number of reasons, so guess what: I don't read it. Others should follow suit and let UWS wank in peace.

Exactly this. Just leave him in peace and let him write Rubio being literally Jesus, it's his right and it's not harming anybody.

Quoting 2004 in relation to 2020, is the same as trying to understand the 2000 by looking at the results in 1984.

This TL is a joke.

"Of course Sanders can win Alabama. I mean, it was a Democratic state and Clinton came within 7 points of winning it, and Sanders is not only a white dude, but reformed the healthcare system!"
